CHAPTER 60
BEHOLD! AT THE HOLY LAND OF MARIEJOIS, THE LAND OF THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS, AND THE HOME OF THE HIGHEST OF AUTHORITY OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENT, A COLLECTION OF BATTLES WERE ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE! THE DAMAGE IS SURE TO BE HEAVY! NO MATTER WHO WINS … THE RESULT WILL SURELY CHANGE THE WORLD!
HOLY LAND (BACKYARD POOL)
Poseidon stared down Brook and Brook the same with Poseidon. The cane wielding elder had eaten a God God fruit modeled after the Greek God Poseidon. The Holy Land boomed from continuous heavy blows from the other fights taking place there, but Brook's mind was focused solely on this man right here!
"The God God fruits Law-san told us about… they're every bit of powerful as he mentioned. They've literally turned these old men into literal gods! This one in particular … is modeled after one that controls the waters, but how can that be? Devil fruit eaters cannot interact with water! Even a small bath can render even Luffy-san useless! So … how can this man touch the water!? What makes him so special!?" Brook thought to himself.
Poseidon broke the silence.
"I PATIENTLY AWAIT YOUR NEXT ATTACK, SOUL KING!" Poseidon boomed.
Brook looked up angrily at the god.
"WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND SOUL KING? COULD YOU BE THINKING ABOUT HOW TO RUN AND GET HELP BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU WON'T WIN THIS FIGHT?" Poseidon asked.
Brook tsk'd
"NO THAT'S NO IT. PERHAPS YOU'RE WONDERING HOW A DEVIL FRUIT EATER CAN CONTROL WATER EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE!" Poseidon boomed.
Brook's face noticeably changed into concern! Poseidon took notice.
"SO THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT! KA KA KA!" Poseidon laughed, "DEVIL FRUITS CAN ALLOW YOU TO HAVE ANY POWER IMAGINABLE! EVEN THE POWER TO CONTROL WATER! THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY TO MAKE DEVIL FRUIT POWERS WORK EVEN IF THEY APPEAR USELESS! MY ABILITY TO CONTROL WATER, PLUS THIS GIANT POOL, EASILY DETERMINES THAT YOU ARE OUT MATCHED!" Poseidon boomed.
IN OLYMPIC SPORTS THERE IS A RACE THAT ONLY SWIMMERS PARTAKE IN! MOST OLYMPIC SIZED POOLS MEASURE AT 164FT LONG AND 84FT WIDE! JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR A DEVIL FRUIT USER WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE WATER AROUND HIM! POSEIDON KNEW THIS VERY WELL AND HAD THE POOL INSTALLED HIMSELF JUST IN CASE A NEED FOR HIS POWERS AROSE!
"YOU WERE NOT DRAGGED DOWN INTO THIS ROOM FOR NO REASON SOUL KING! THIS WILL BE YOUR WATERY GRAVEYARD!" Poseidon boomed.
Brook unsheathed his sword and thought to himself again.
"What do I do? There is no way to fight him! Even with haki, he's in the middle of the pool … I wouldn't be able to cut him down! And to make matters worse …" Brook stopped thinking as he looked at the watery body of the god more closely and noticed one frightening fact!
"That body ...! Is all water! Where is his physical self!?" Brook yelled to himself.
Poseidon's body was indeed all water! As was his trident. Brook looked around with fright.
"That's it! That's how he's controlling the water! It's so simple… he's sitting somewhere and he's controlling the water with his mind most likely! That makes this easier… considering he can't be out of this room … I need to find him in this room!" Brook thought to himself.
Brook smirked and stood to his feet. Poseidon took notice.
"WHY DO YOU SMILE SOUL KING? HAVE YOU GONE INSANE?" Poseidon asked.
Brook looked up at the god.
"Not at all … I'm smiling because … I'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO BEAT YOU!" Brook yelled out, beginning to run down the long end of the pool, keeping his eyes on Poseidon.
Poseidon became angry and raised his trident.
"FIGURED OUT HOW TO BEAT ME YOU SAY?! DOESN'T MATTER! I'LL ELIMINATE YOU WITH ONE ATTACK!" Poseidon boomed.
Brook looked with shock as Poseidon pointed his trident at him and the one of the spikes shot at Brook with tremendous speed! Brook gasped and jumped over it, but it didn't crash into the wall, no! It shot straight through it! Brook looked back and as the spike retracted Brook saw that the hole it made was a perfect circle!
"In other words, … if that hits me I'm a dead man! Except, I'm already dead! Yo ho ho ho ho!" Brook laughed to himself.
BOOM!
Poseidon slammed his fist onto Brook squishing him against the wall! When Poseidon brought his fist back he had plenty to say!
"YOU GOT TOO COCKY AFTER DODGING ONE MOVE SOUL KING! I GUESS THE FILES WE HAVE ON YOU ARE TRUE! COCKY AND A FOOL, THAT IS WHAT THEY SAY! KA KA KA WHAT A HORRIBLE COMBINATION! EH?" Poseidon joked until he heard what sounded like freezing!
Poseidon looked down at his arm and was filled with shock. His arm began to freeze starting with his hand.
"WHAT!?" Poseidon yelled.
Brook stood up to his feet slowly, bruises on his bones.
"Yo ho ho ho … looks like you weren't the one paying attention, Poseidon-san." Brook said softly.
"I've mastered the art I call SOUL SOLID! And with it you are beginning to freeze until your whole body is one big ice sculpture!" Brook boasted.
SOUL SOLID! A TECHNIQUE CREATED BY BROOK USING HIS DEVIL FRUIT ABILITIES! BROOK COVERS HIS SWORD WITH THE ESSENCE OF HIS SOUL! SINCE HE IS THE LIVING DEAD HIS SOUL IS ICE COLD! THIS IS WHY ANY OPPONENT HIT WITH BROOK'S SWORD WHILE IT IS COVERED WITH THE USER'S SOUL ARE FROZEN SOLID! A PERFECT COUNTER TO POSEIDON'S WATER!
"SOUL SOLID!? THIS WAS NEVER WRITTEN IN THE FILES!" Poseidon yelled.
"That is because I haven't used it against the marines! Nor anyone from the government so there's no way you could know about it! You lose!" Brook yelled, "Now to find his body while he freezes!" Brook thought.
Brook began to run off in search of the elder's body, but the elder had other things in mind.
"FOOL…" Poseidon said softly.
As Poseidon's body kept freezing over, something jumped from the water God's chest, a person! The cane wielding elder flew from his watery fort and fell feet first towards the unfrozen water.
"It doesn't matter if you freeze that body! I can expel myself into more water! This time however… I will grow truly massive and end you immediately, SOUL KING!" The elder said to himself as he dived towards the water.
"Almost there! Then I can end that skeleton once and for a-"
The elder's words were interrupted by someone piercing him through the stomach! The elder coughed up blood and looked up to see Brook had stabbed straight through him!
"WHAT! HOW DID YOU!?" The elder began to ask.
Brook smiled and pushed the blade further into the elder's stomach. The elder coughed up a hefty amount of blood!
"How … did you … stab me in mid air?" The elder asked as he choked on his blood.
Brook looked up slowly and smiled.
"I jumped! I am extremely light after all! Yo ho ho ho ho ho!" Brook laughed.
The elder grunted.
"You … ran off to find my body right? … but you pierced me perfectly in the air … almost as if you knew I was going to expel myself!" The elder choked out.
Brook continued smiling, still holding the blade in the elder's body.
"Once you told me that no matter the devil fruit ability there would always be a way to make it work Immediately I noticed that devil fruit users don't have to control water by touch, but by using their ability to manipulate the water to move around them! You used this technique to craft a God form around your real self to control while you stayed inside the body! Isn't that right!? At first I truly had thought maybe you were sitting somewhere in the room controlling the water, but you were too smart for something like that! You'd be too open to attacks!" Brook asked.
The elder continued to look at Brook with fright.
"Earlier you called me cocky and a fool … very hurtful words but guess what! You got too cocky after you thought you could get away here and foolishly believed I was just a weakling! That makes you … THE REAL COCKY FOOL!" Brook shouted.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The elder yelled, as Brook pulled out his sword and the elder's body froze.
"DAMN YOU, SOUL KING!" The elder yelled, his words full of hate, these would be his last words however.
Brook smirked.
"SOUL SOLID: BURST!" Brook yelled.
As soon as Brook sheathed his cane sword, the elder's body burst into pieces and fell into the waters below. Brook used his light body and nimbleness to flip over to the solid ground. Brook looked back at the pool waters as pieces of the elder dropped into the pool.
"Rest in peace." Brook said, tipping his hat, "Now, to find the others!" Brook said, running off.
POSEIDON VS BROOK!
WINNER: BROOK
POSEIDON: DECEASED
HOLY LAND (ROOM OF AUTHORITY)
Zoro and Law stood with their backs facing each other as they both looked worrily into the insanely thick fog that surrounded them. The sword wielding elder had retreated into the fog immediately after Zoro stopped his attack from piercing Law from behind.
"OI LAW! PRESS YOUR BACK AGAINST MINE!" Zoro ordered.
Law immediately pressed his back against Zoro's, both men had their swords drawn.
"You watch my back, I watch yours!" Zoro said.
"Got it." Law confirmed.
Nothing could be heard, for the fog was so thick that even sound could not escape!
"Zoro-ya … I found out that he is the fog itself, he's not keeping it pumping into the room with his powers, he literally became the fog." Law explained.
Zoro clenched his teeth.
"How the hell are we supposed to touch him then?" Zoro asked.
"I was able to cut him across the chest before you showed up. I noticed that he had to get close enough to attack me, so I was able to use my room and attack him as soon as I blocked his attack." Law continued, looking left and right frantically.
"We can't just do that again?" Zoro asked.
Law clenched his teeth.
"He wouldn't fall for something like that again … it pisses me off because now my room is useless. Even if he was in range, he is the fog so I'd cut right through him with no damage." Law said.
"Even with haki?" Zoro asked.
"Unfortunately. That's what makes his ability even more annoying. Even if we coated our swords in haki and started swinging, he himself isn't manifested so it'd be just like cutting through regular fog!" Law explained.
Zoro tsk'd.
"Then the only way to find him …" Zoro started.
Law looked over his shoulder.
"IS TO CLEAR OUT THE FOG!" Zoro yelled.
Law's eyes widened and he turned around to face Zoro.
"OI! DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT'LL GIVE UP TOO MUCH ATTENTION! I WAS ABOUT TO TELL YOU ANOTHER CRUCIAL FACT ABOUT HIS POWERS!" Law yelled, but it was too late!
Zoro placed two of his swords' butts together and began to spin them like a fan, generating a large amount of wind! The wind surely disrupted the fog around them, but clear it up, it did not! Zoro continued to fan the fog anyway against Law's wishes!
"OI ZORO-YA! STOP OR HE'LL FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE!" Law yelled. Zoro turned his head towards Law.
"FOOLS!" The elder's voice sounded.
Zoro looked back in front of him but it was too late! The elder manifested an arm holding his sword and sent it dashing straight for them! Neither were able to react on time and the blade pierced both of their bodies! Zoro and Law both coughed up blood as they were slammed against a wall. The elder's arm slowly removed the blade.
"It would be too dangerous to get cocky and try to finish you just because I got a lucky hit … I'm going to retreat for now and kill them with the next attack!" The elder thought to himself.
Law and Zoro slowly got up to their feet. Both their eyes hidden by shadow.
"Oi, you alright, Zoro?" Law asked.
"Yeah." Zoro answered.
"You understand now too don't you?" Law asked.
Zoro's bandana had gotten loose so he tightened it.
"Yeah, I know exactly how to beat this guy." Zoro said with a smirk.
In the fog the elder manifested his head and began looking around.
"No sign of them. Not even a peep … perhaps they died form their wounds? No, that isn't likely, they wouldn't die from something so simple. I just need to keep waiting and listening, but they haven't made a noise in ages and I'm using up too much stamina keeping myself in fog form …" The elder said.
The elder slowly transformed his body back to normal and landed ever so lightly on the ground.
"I'll take a moment to rest and then get back to the hunt … I've had these abilities for eons … there's no way they can out smart me." The elder said.
The elder's nose began to itch. The elder sneezed and looked up.
SLICE!
The elder was suddenly cut up the body by two heavy sword slashes! Blood flew high into the air and may have hit the ceiling. The elder came crashing down onto his back. He groaned and moaned; the cuts were indeed deep! One even cut the elder up the neck, bothering his breathing.
"What … the hell … was that?" The elder said through heavy breaths, "I was … definitely cut … but … there's no way they … attacked me!" The elder said as he stood up, clutching his chest. His mouth began to bleed.
Before he could get his mind together he was cut again! This time on the back and legs!
"GUAGH!" The elder let out as blood shot from his wounds.
The elder fell to his knees and coughed up blood as he breathed heavily trying not to pass out. His sword had fallen just a few feet away from him.
"This … can't be happening!... What the hell is going on! RORONOA! LAW!" The elder screamed.
The elder looked at his left hand and looked towards the fog. He used his hand to force the fog away enough to see his sword and began to crawl for it.
"When I get ahold of my sword … I will … retreat back … into the fog and eliminate them as fast as possible!" The elder said.
The elder stopped moving and stared up with fright when he saw Zoro and Law standing over him, their eyes shadowed out. The elder choked on his words.
"Good grief … you don't ever shut up do you?" Law said, his sword sheathed and on his shoulder.
"How did you … attack me?" The elder asked.
"It's honestly a simple solution. Zoro-ya and I kept as quiet as possible, we even held our breaths until we knew for sure where you were." Law explained.
"We knew you'd need to use your real head to see where we were, and we also knew that keeping yourself apart of the fog was straining on your body and you'd need to make yourself whole, so we had to methods of attack." Zoro said.
The elder clenched his teeth.
"So what if that's the case? … You still had to find me in the fog …" The elder said.
"Exactly. You helped us with that." Law said.
The elder gasped.
"We used your own technique to get through the fog you dumb ass." Zoro explained.
"We waited on you to make a noise, any noise at all, and then we'd strike." Law said.
The elder became angry.
"But … when did? …" The elder thought, then became surprised, "When I sneezed!"
Law smiled.
"Exactly. It wasn't hard to figure out where you were from there. I strategically cut you so that your injuries wouldn't be fatal but guarantee some groans from the pain. That way, we'd never lose track of you! Guess it pays off to be a doctor as well as a pirate huh?" Law said.
The elder kept his nervous expression.
"But that's not the only reason I kept you alive." Law said.
"What … was the other reason?" The elder asked, worried.
Zoro stepped up and the elder looked at him.
"Do you remember what I said about being blood thirsty and getting to take it out on you? I don't remember ever getting any clean attacks on you …" Zoro said with an evil smirk.
The elder's eyes widened, and he tried to crawl to his sword!
"Shambles." Law said, switching Zoro and the sword.
Zoro now stood directly in front of the elder and picked up his sword.
"This is one of the legendary blades isn't it?" Zoro asked.
The elder clenched his teeth.
"UNHAND THE SWORD NOW!" The elder yelled before jolting back down and vomiting blood.
"You're in no position to be yelling orders at me." Zoro said, throwing away one of his other swords and replacing it with the elder's.
Zoro placed his favorite blade in his mouth and held his other two swords: Shusui and the elder's sword.
Law lifted a finger causing the elder to float.
"What!?" The elder said.
Law floated the elder a few meters away from the green haired swordsman and smiled. Zoro coated his swords in haki and began to rotate them like a fan once more!
"Oi, You ready? Zoro-ya?" Law asked.
Zoro nodded.
"What the hell do you two have planned!? ANSWER ME!" The elder screamed.
Law smiled and sent the elder flying at Zoro at quick speeds! Zoro dashed forward and caught the elder in the spinning blades, cutting his body severely! The two dashed through the fog until they hit a wall, but the cutting continued! Zoro continued to rotate the blades against the elder who was pressed against the wall!
"GGGGGGRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The elder screamed as he was cut an uncountable number of times!
Law could hear the torture going on and winced from being disgusted. Zoro jumped back and watched the elder fall to his feet and fall back against the wall, unconscious. Zoro glared at the elder with hate. Even though he wasn't responsible for his torture in the Holy Land torture chambers he was one of the heads who knew what was going on! Zoro put his sword butts against each other again and the haki was so strong it left his sword as a purple aura!
"Santoryu …" Zoro said softly before dashing towards the elder.
A collection of people came across the swordsman's mind! Naruto and the others, his crewmates, his captain, and … Robin! A woman he had come to-
"THREE BILLION-FOLD WORLD TRICHILIOCOSM!" Zoro yelled with immense rage.
When Zoro's three blades came into contact with the elder's bloody body, the elder did indeed let out a cry of anguish and defeat! Zoro pushed into the elder's body until both men burst through the wall! Zoro didn't fall far before Law saved him using room, but the elder? He fell to his certain death! Law and Zoro watched the elder crash into the ground below and the fog in the room cleared up slowly.
After a few moments of silence, Zoro sheathed his swords and spoke.
"What a lame ability." Zoro said.
LAW/ZORO VS THE SWORD WEILDING ELDER IN THE ROOM OF AUTHORITY
WINNER(S): LAW AND RORONOA ZORO
SWORD WEILDING ELDER: DECEASED
HOLY LAND (COURTYARD)
The bearded elder, whom had eaten the God God fruit model: Zeus, blasted heavy lightning attacks at the group of Hinata, Sakura, Kakashi, and Fujitora! The lightning was annoying and hard to get around, but Fujitora held a vital piece of information!
"Kakashi-san, you were apart of the group who defeated the DEATH members in the Sakura Kingdom right?" Fujitora asked.
Kakashi dodged a lightning strike and looked over at Fujitora.
"Yes sir! Why?" Kakashi asked.
"Then you've got experience against a devil fruit user with these kinds of powers! That makes this easier for us." Fujitora said.
Kakashi and Fujitora dodged another lightning blast.
"But Eneru was a logia, isn't this guy one too? He can use lightning at will and everything." Kakashi said.
Fujitora smiled.
IN THE WORLD OF DEVIL FRUITS, THERE CAN ONLY EXIST ONE KIND OF DEVIL FRUIT OF A KIND! HOWEVER, THERE ARE DEVIL FRUITS THAT HAVE THE SAME POWERS AS A MINOR ABILITY OF THE REAL ABILITY! ENERU ATE THE RUMBLE RUMBLE FRUIT, THIS ALLOWED HIM TO BECOME AND CONTROL LIGHTNING. THIS ELDER ATE A PARAMECIA THAT TURNS HIM INTO A GOD OF LIGHTNING! POINT BEING, ENERU WAS A LOGIA, THEREFORE EITHER A HAKI USER OR ANOTHER LIGHTINING USER COULD ONLY FIGHT HIM, BUT THIS MAN IS A PARAMECIA WHICH MEANS NO HAKI NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED!
"Since you've already got experience with the lightning part then this fight won't be much different from Eneru! These God God fruits are nothing more than massive buffs!" Fujitora explained.
Zeus heard this and stopped his assault.
"I'VE ALWAYS ADMIRED THAT ABOUT YOU FUJITORA, EVEN WHEN WE DRAFTED YOU, I COULD TELL YOU WERE A SMART MAN, I WILL SAY THAT MUCH ABOUT YOU! BUT! YOU'RE ALL STILL FOOLISH NINJA FROM A ROTTEN PART OF THE WORLD! HOW MUCH COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW ABOUT HOW DEVIL FRUITS REALLY WORK!?" Zeus boomed.
Kakashi and Fujitora both became even more serious.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK I KNOW AND DON'T KNOW! I'VE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH … I PUT IN THE WORK AND BECAME AN ADMIRAL! YOU FOOLISHLY TOLD YOUR SECRETS TO A FORMER NINJA AND NOW I'LL USE THIS KNOWLEDGE AGAINST YOU!" Fujitora yelled.
Zeus smiled.
"IS THAT RIGHT, FUJITORA? THEN ALLOW ME … TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW WRONG YOU ARE!" Zeus boomed.
Kakashi and Fujitora wore nervous expressions as Zeus concentrated lightning onto his left arm until it began to shake!
"HINATA! SAKURA! BEHIND ME!" Kakashi yelled.
The two girls ran over to him and got behind him and Fujitora.
` Zeus smiled at the party.
"RRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zeus boomed as he blasted lightning straight into the cloudy sky!
Blinding blue lights from the electricity could be seen and the actual blast itself was loud enough to burst every single window that surrounded the courtyard! The elder continued streaming lightning into the sky as the elder stared at the group with an evil smile. Moments later, the sky began to get dark and cloudy, thunder could also be heard! After another few moments, the sky above them was pitch black and water began to fall from the sky … rain! This huge collection of lightning had changed the weather around them, taking a sunny day into night in a matter of seconds!
Heavy rain littered the battlefield. Almost to the point where our heroes could barely see in front of them! Fujitora fought with his thoughts.
"He just shot so much lightning into the sky it turned a sunny day into a severe storm instantly! I truly did underestimate his power!" Fujitora said.
THIS SUDDEN WEATHER CHANGE DIDN'T AFFECT ONLY THOSE AT THE HOLY LAND, NO! AROUND THIS TIME OF THE DAY, CAPTAIN FRANK G JUNIOR HAD SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT TO LEVEL 6 OF IMPEL DOWN WHEN A MASSIVE STORM FROM OUT OF NO WHERE WASHED AWAY MANY OF HIS ALLIED SHIPS! THIS WAS THAT STORM!
"I wonder if even … this storm can cover miles!" Fujitora said to himself.
Zeus smiled at him.
"DO YOU SEE NOW, FUJITORA!? YOU ARE CORRECT THAT THIS FRUIT ISN'T LOGIA BUT DON'T SPEAK ON MY BUFFS AS IF THEY ARE JUST TO BE TOSSED TO THE SIDE! I FEEL BAD FOR THOSE OTHER PIECES OF FILTH THAT FIGHT HEPHAESTUS AND APOLLO! POSEIDON AND THAT USELESS FOG FRUIT ARE NO MATCH FOR YOUR POWER, THAT I WILL ADMIT! BUT WE THREE ARE NO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN YOU! GIVE UP!" Zeus boomed.
Fujitora and Kakashi's eyes were shadowed out.
"AFTER I KILL YOU FOUR, I WILL MAKE MY WAY BACK TO THE ROOM OF AUTHORITY AND KILL THAT BRAT THAT PUNCHED ME OUT THE WINDOW … NARUTO! THAT WAS HIS NAME!" Zeus boomed.
Sakura and Hinata gasped and looked at each other.
"THEN I WILL CONTINUE MY ASSULT ON THE NINJA WORLD AND WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH FOR GOOD! BAAAA BA BA BA BA BA BA!" Zeus laughed.
"SHUT THE HELL UP! NEVER DISRESPECT THE NINJA WORLD IN SUCH A MANOR AGAIN!" Fujitora yelled.
Zeus wore a confused face.
"I've waited so patiently to say those words … years of listening to the disrespect of my homelands and people … I've had ENOUGH! We, ninja of the ninja world will kill you right here and right now!" Fujitora shouted.
"BA BA BA BA BA, YOU REALLY THINK BEING ANGRY WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER? YOU'RE STRONG FUJITORA, BUT UNLESS YOU CAN MANIPULATE TIME LIKE THAT OTHER BRAT THEN YOU ARE USELESS AGAINST ME!" Zeus boomed.
Sakura looked at Hinata and Hinata Sakura.
"Hinata did you hear that?" Sakura asked.
Hinata nodded.
"I think he was talking about Naruto-kun!" Hinata said.
"Did you know Naruto could manipulate time?" Sakura asked.
Hinata put a hand on her chest and looked towards the elder.
"During Naruto's training with the crystal fox form … he got frustrated because he couldn't perform a move he was trying to do … all I remember was seeing him sulking and then instantly in front of me asking if I wanted to take a break for ramen …" Hinata said.
Sakura became confused.
"So what? You seemed to just have been caught off guard." Sakura said.
Hinata shook her head.
"That's what I thought until he told me that he ended up figuring out how to do the move and even created small craters in the training field from trying the move out! All after JUST saying he was upset he couldn't accomplish the move he was trying to learn…" Hinata admitted.
Sakura was shocked.
"I knew there was only one answer … he had to have done all of it in stopped time … there was no other answer." Hinata said.
Sakura was filled with even more questions.
"Wait so why didn't we just use this ability from the get-go! It would've saved us so much trouble!" Sakura asked.
"No!" Hintata yelled, "Naruto-kun is still very inexperienced with the crystal fox form and … I … noticed it drains an extensive amount of chakra and stamina … also …" Hinata paused.
Sakura stared.
"That form … drains more of his life energy the more he uses it!" Hinata confessed.
Sakura covered her mouth with her hands.
"That's why I told him to only use the from when absolutely necessary and to try and finish whatever fight he uses it in quickly and that we'd keep it as a secret weapon." Hinata said.
Sakura looked down.
"I'm sorry Hinata, I didn't know." Sakura said.
Hinata smiled.
"It's fine! I trust Naruto-kun with all of my heart, just like he trusts us to beat this guy!" Hinata said.
Sakura smiled a determined smile and looked towards Zeus. Kakashi stood in front of the girls, Zabuza's blade on his shoulders. Fujitora stared angrily at the god.
"MAKE A MOVE FUJITORA!" Zeus boomed.
Fujitora jet towards the god.
BOOM! ZZZZZZZZZZZ!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Fujitora screamed in pain as a bolt of lightning instantaneously blasted him! Stopping him in his tracks!
"BAAAAAAAAA BA BA BA BA BA! FOOL! DO YOU REALLY THINK I'D LET YOU RUN TOWARDS ME WITHOUT HAVING A METHOD OF ATTACK!?" Zeus boomed cockily.
"ISSHO!" Kakashi yelled, running into the storm.
Zeus smiled.
"DIE!" Zeus boomed.
Kakashi grabbed Fujitora and threw him at the girls when he was struck by lightning himself!
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!
Zeus smiled at the smoky area until it cleared and showed a pile of ashes. Whatever had been hit, had been burned to ashes. Hinata and Sakura watched with fear.
"KAKASHI SENSEI!" The two women yelled.
"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BA BA BA BA BA BA BA BA BA BA! MY POWER IS TRULY UNSTOPPABLE! BAAAAAAAAA BA BA BA-"
PIERCE!
Zeus stopped laughing and coughed up a clot of blood.
"WHAT … WHAT THE HELL!?" Zeus boomed as he looked down to see Kakashi had pierced him with Zabuza's blade.
Kakashi looked up and smiled under his mask.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Zeus boomed.
"Nothing is impossible for us ninja!" Kakashi said.
Zeus looked down at Kakashi with fright. Hinata and Sakura became happy.
"KAKASHI SENSEI!" They cheered happily.
"Substitution jutsu, elder-san. That is what I used to escape the lightning. And I know how your ability works! You fire a continuous stream of lighting in the air that changes the weather and fills it with lightning only you can control! You use this lightning to instantly kill anyone who attempts to get close to you, right!? If I had to describe it … I'd say it was like a mine field!" Kakashi explained.
"DAMN YOU KAKASHI HATAKE!" Zeus boomed angrily.
Kakashi smiled under his mask again and pressed his feet against the God's chest and pulled the sword from his body and jumped into the air to stab him again, but the elder threw a punch that Kakashi was able to block with Zabuza's sword and was sent careening back where Hinata and Sakura were.
BOOM!
Kakashi crashed into the wall but was able to get up and walk it off. He looked at the elder with a straight face and lifted Zabuza's sword over his shoulder again.
"Sakura, heal up Issho-san, Hinata-san, you're going to help me defeat this "god!" Kakashi ordered.
Sakura nodded and ran over to help Fujitora and Hinata ran by Kakashi.
"Um, excuse me, Kakashi sensei, but how can I help you beat him? I wouldn't last getting hit by his lightning." Hinata said.
Kakashi looked at Hinata and smiled under his mask.
"There's no need for you to run into the field! I've hurt him pretty bad with that last attack, his lighting will be still be as fast as real lightning but not instant like it was before! I just need you to use your byakugan to let me know when the lightning is about to attack from above so I can keep my eyes on him!" Kakashi said, taking a stance.
Hinata nodded and activated her byakugan.
"Ready?" Kakashi asked.
"Hai!" Hinata yelled.
Kakashi nodded and took off into the courtyard. Zeus clutched his chest, which had been pierced with the guillotine sword, and kept his hand in the air. He breathed heavy and had one eye closed, he also sweat profusely!
"STABBING ME WON'T BE ENOUGH … KAKASHI HATAKE!" Zeus boomed.
Kakashi didn't take his eyes off the elder and kept straight. Hinata watched the sky.
"DODGE KAKASHI!" Hinata yelled.
Kakashi jumped to the left and the lightning missed him!
"NICE!" Kakashi yelled.
Hinata smiled big.
"WHAT!?" Zeus boomed as he looked over at Hinata.
Zeus focused closer on Hinata's eyes.
"THOSE EYES! FOR SOME REASON … I JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS BLIND … SHE CAN SEE WHEN THE LIGHTNING IS GOING TO STRIKE … IF I DON'T ACT FAST … KAKASHI WILL SURELY KILL ME!" Zeus thought to himself.
Zeus raised his free hand in Hinata's direction. Hinata noticed and gasped. Kakashi looked back.
"HINATA! NO!" Kakashi yelled.
Zeus smiled an evil smile.
"DIE, NINJA FILTH! GUAGH!" Zeus sounded as if someone had attacked him again!
Kakashi looked back towards Zeus and saw his hand pinned to the ground by an immense amount of gravity!
"ISSHO!" Kakashi yelled happily.
"Finish him Kakashi!" Fujitora yelled out.
"Yes sir!" Kakashi responded before running towards Zeus.
Zeus struggled to pick his hand up off the ground but almost broke his arm trying!
"GOD DAMN IT ALL!" Zeus yelled, Kakashi continued towards him and infused the blade with lightning.
Kakashi threw the blade in the air.
"NOW, SAKURA!" Kakashi yelled.
Sakura jumped into the air and charged a chakra infused axe kick.
"CHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Sakura yelled as she kicked the blade down at super speeds towards the god.
As Zeus noticed the blade getting closer but still being unable to move, he let out a final cry.
"GOD DAMN ALL YOU PIECES OF SHIT! GOD DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL YOU BASTARDS!" Zeus boomed.
The blade finally reached its target and shot straight through the god's chest! Blood burst from the earlier wound and the elder's eyes went white! Kakashi caught the blade and swung it around before resting it on his shoulder again.
"RELEASE!" Kakashi yelled.
Then suddenly, the elder burst into a ball of lightning! After the bright lights died down, the bearded elder was seen charred and burned. Kakashi dispelled the sword and walked slowly over to the others.
"Great job everyone! And good save, Issho!" Kakashi said.
Fujitora, Sakura, and Hinata smiled.
"Let's go, we've got to find the others!" Kakashi said, but before he could run off he was grabbed.
Kakashi looked back to see Fujitora had grabbed his arm.
"Issho …" Kakashi said softly.
"Kakashi … please allow me …" Fujitora paused, "To join you on the rest of your journey! One day I'll end up back at home … I know it." Fujitora said, tears in his eyes.
Kakashi, Sakura, and Hinata smiled.
"Of course you can, Tsuchikage-san." Kakashi said.
Zeus vs Kakshi/Sakura/Hinata/Fujitora
Winners: Kakshi and co
Zeus: Deceased!
WOW! SO YEAH I WAS GONE FOR QUITE A WHILE HUH? I APOLOGIZE SINCERELY FOR THE ABSENCE I REALLY DO! A LOT OF THINGS CAME UP AT ONCE, MY KEYBOARD ENDED UP NOT WORKING ANYMORE, AND OTHER STUFF! THIS IS STILL A LONG STORY AND THERE'S STILL SO MUCH MORE THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN THAT AREN'T EVEN CLOSE SO I CAN'T PROMISE WHEN IT'LL BE COMPLETED BUT IF YOU'D PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, I PLAN TO GET BACK INTO DROPPING CHAPTERS HOPEFULLY DAILY! THIS ARC WILL BE WRAPPED UP NEXT CHAPTER THEN ON TO THE NEXT ARC! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO MY FOLLOWERS AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAVORITED THIS STORY! REMEMBER TO LEAVE A REVIEW WITH WHAT YOU THINK AND HOW YOU FEEL!
