Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! It's been a while since this was updated, but the Duke Wolf is back, and here we'll be seeing the retrieval team fighting off the rest of the Four Celestial Symbols Men, as well as Seimei's revival. Only for it to turn out very differently due to Naruto being used instead of Gaara, and with the addition of Zen-Aku's power. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"Wind Style: Dust Storm Jutsu!" Asuma said, releasing a stream of high-velocity wind filled with dust particles through his hands towards Kujaku.
"Wind Cutter Jutsu!" Said Kujaku, swinging her swords and releasing blades of wind that slashed through the stream of wind, before redirecting it back at Asuma.
Using a quick Substitution Jutsu to avoid being blasted by the wind, Asuma reappeared behind Kujaku before lunging at the greenette while channeling Wind Chakra through his trench knives. Only for a whirlwind to surround Kujaku as she flew up into the air.
"Are you still letting off some steam Ninja?! Or are you getting worried?!" Kujaku said with a smirk as she turned in the air before dropping down at Asuma thrusting her swords down at him.
Though Asuma quickly blocked them, he mentally cursed when the Chakra around his knives dispersed, before being forced to jump back when Kujaku swung her blades at him.
"Wind Return!" Said Kujaku unleashing a hurricane at Asuma, with the Jōnin using another Substitution to avoid it.
"Worried? No. Annoyed? Very. Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Said Asuma, going through handsigns before blowing out a powerful blast of wind at Kujaku, making her scoff as she held up her swords.
"Seems you still haven't learned. Wind Return!" Kujaku said, swinging her swords as the Great Breakthrough reached her, causing it to be redirected back at Asuma as a hurricane.
Jumping out of the way of the hurricane, Asuma raised his trench knives when Kujaku flew at him again, smiling wickedly as she brought her swords down on top of him.
"Do you understand now, Ninja?! No matter what wind you use, I'll just send it right back at you!" Said Kujaku, while Asuma narrowed his eyes.
Having learned that in addition to being able to manipulate the wind with her Weaknessless Flying Shortswords, she could also redirect Wind Style Ninjutsu used against her. Even his Flying Swallow was left useless the moment her swords touched his knives. Leaving Asuma to try and see if there's a limit to how powerful her swords are, only to see that they didn't seem to have one.
"Try redirecting this then. Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!" Asuma said, letting out a cloud of Chakra-infused gunpowder, forcing the Takumi Kunoichi to jump back.
"I've already seen that and it won't work again! Peacock Whirlwind!" Kujaku said swinging one of her swords, releasing a powerful whirling gust of wind that blew the gunpowder away from her.
"Then try this. Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!" Said Asuma, going through handsigns before exhaling a breath of fire straight at the greenette, forcing her to jump out of the way of the flames.
"Wind Style: Gale Palm!" Asuma said, going through handsigns again and throwing one of his trench knives through the fire, while creating a powerful gale towards it.
Causing the trench knife to cut through the air at high-speed, with the wind around it igniting as it passed through the fire. With Kujaku's eyes widening at the sight of the weapon coming at her, before she quickly held her swords up.
"Peacock Whirlwind Formation!" Kujaku said quickly, creating a vortex of wind around herself, relieved when it knocked away the trench knife before it could hit her.
Only to cry out when Asuma took the chance to use a Shunshin and get behind her, swinging his other trench knife at her back. Slashing Kujaku as she immediately flew away, glaring murderously at the Jōnin.
"You'll pay for that, Ninja! Great Vacuum Cannon!" Said Kujaku, shooting out a small, powerful and near-invisible blasts of wind at Asuma.
"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!" Asuma said, going through handsigns and releasing a cloud of gunpowder at the air blasts.
*With Gai*
Suiko gave a shout as he swung his mace at Gai, only for the Jōnin to jump into the air and flip over him, before he began spinning in the air.
"Severe Leaf Hurricane!" Gai said, spinning around and delivering multiple kicks to Suiko's back, making the blacksmith grunt in pain at the force of each kick.
Even more so, as with each kick, he was knocked higher and higher into the air with Gai following after him as he began kicking all over his body. First kicking low at his legs, then kicking Suiko's chest, and finally a kick to his chin that launched Suiko even higher up. Though not stopping there, Gai appeared above Suiko and slammed his heel into his back, sending the Takumi Ninja crashing into the ground.
Gritting his teeth, Suiko forced himself to stand up, but had to lean on his mace to remain standing, as even with the Infinite Armor's ability to heal injuries from absorbing Chakra, he's being injured more than it could heal. Even worse with how he saw that Gai didn't even look winded, despite the numerous times they made contact and the Infinite Armor absorbed his Chakra.
"How…how are you still standing?! Your Chakra should be drained with how many times you've touched my armor! So how can you still fight?!" Suiko demanded, angered that his armor seemed to do nothing against Gai.
"Because I am a pure Taijutsu Specialist! I've trained since before I was even a Ninja, honing my physical abilities so that I can fight without Chakra! I'm afraid that armor is rather useless against an opponent, like me!" Gai said with a blinding smile, which only angered Suiko further that he'd dare call the Infinite Armor useless.
"You…arrogant Ninja! I'll crush you!" Shouted Suiko as he swung his mace as the head extended out into a flail at Gai, only for the Konoha Ninja to turn serious.
Before Suiko could react, Gai pulled out a pair of nunchaku, with each handle being red and carved into the shape of a dragon-like creature with scales engraved along their length and a head near the handle's base, while being linked together by a length of twisted cord.
These being the Sōshūga, a pair of nunchaku Gai used when direct physical contact must be avoided during a battle. Feeling that now was the time to use them and end this fight.
With Gai swinging the nunchaku around him a few times, giving a cry as he swung one them at the flail just before it hit him. Ducking down and around the flail while wrapping his nunchaku around, spinning around and yanking it forward, pulling Suiko along with it. The Takumi Ninja unable to stop himself as he pulled off the ground and towards Gai, crying out as the Jōnin slammed his nunchaku into his face.
Though Gai didn't stop there as he detangled his nunchaku from the flail, swinging it around and wrapped the cord around Suiko's neck, making him gasp as his air was cut off.
"While I can respect those that fight for what they believe in, and one who fights to improve their village. You and the rest of Takumi Village have attacked fellow Konoha Ninja, plan to attack the other villages, to cause more pain and destruction, and for that I will fight to defeat you!" Gai said as he swung the other nunchaku to wrap around Suiko's arms and body, leaving him restrained.
Gai then let go of the handles as he turned and twisted his body around, slamming his foot up into Suiko's chin, knocking him into the air. Following after the blacksmith, Gai kicked him higher and higher into the air.
Once they were dozens of feet off the ground, Gai grabbed his nunchaku and yanked them, sending Suiko spinning through the air as he was released. Only to cry out when Gai began spinning the nunchaku around and slamming them against his body. Feeling his bones start cracking from each impact. Before his eyes widened when he felt the Infinite Armor straps break as it fell off of him, leaving him completely vulnerable.
"NO!" Suiko screamed as he tried reaching his armor before it fell, only to gasp when Gai wrapped his nunchaku around him again.
"Primary Lotus!" Said Gai, jumping back at the last second while Suiko crashed head first into the ground, creating a crater as his body remained standing for a moment before falling to the ground unmoving.
Looking at Suiko's body, Gai saw that he was dead before he quickly took off after Kakashi and Yamato now that his opponents been dealt with.
*With Asuma*
"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!" Asuma said, releasing another cloud of gunpowder at Kujaku, much to her annoyance.
"Haven't you realized that's useless?! You won't be able to use it on me! Peacock Whirlwind!" Said Kujaku, swinging one of her swords, releasing a whirling gale of wind that blew away the gunpowder.
"I don't know, it's annoying you, so I'd say it's working just fine." Said Asuma with a smirk, making the greenette growl at the taunting.
"I'll enjoy having my wind cut you into pieces! Rotating Ferocious Wind!" Kujaku said, swinging her swords, launching a large gust of wind.
"We'll see. Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!" Asuma said, letting out another cloud of gunpowder, which was blown away by the gust of wind.
With Kujaku immediately surrounding herself with a whirlwind, launching herself at Asuma with a wicked grin.
"You're dead now! Wind Cutter Jutsu!" Said Kujaku with her swords held up to cut him into pieces, only to see the Jōnin smirking at her.
"You really should learn to watch your back. Wind Style: Verdant Mountain Gale!" Asuma said, making a handsign, while the greenette's eyes widen before she quickly turned around.
Only to be horrified when she saw the trench knife Asuma threw at her before cutting through the air straight towards her!
"Peacock Whirlwind!" Kujaku said, quickly swinging her sword and releasing a gust of wind, relieved that she was able to knock the trench knife away.
"Got you. Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!" Asuma said while spewing out a cloud of Chakra-laced gunpowder that successfully covered Kujaku, much to her horror.
With Asuma quickly jumping back over to a nearby river, pulling out his lighter and throwing it at Kujaku before going through handsigns.
"Fire Style: Flint Yagura Jutsu!" Asuma said just as he dived into the river, as the flame on his lighter erupted into a large, spiraling pillar of fire.
"Peacock Whirlwind Formation!" Yelled Kujaku, creating a vortex of wind around herself, blowing away the gunpowder, hoping that'll keep her safe.
Only for the Takumi Kunoichi to scream in complete pain as the fire didn't just ignite the gunpowder around her. It ignited all of it that had been getting scattered around during the fight, leaving Kujaku trapped in a massive, exploding inferno.
With Kujaku's screams growing louder as the flames began burning her body, much to her growing panic and fear, knowing her wind would only strengthen the flames. Before the greenette quickly channeled Chakra to her swords, teleporting away in a green flash just before she was reduced to ash.
Once the flames had died down, Asuma emerged from the water, frowning when he didn't see any sign of Kujaku anywhere or anything that would've been left of her from the explosion.
'Those swords must've had some other ability that her escape. But even if she's still alive, I doubt she'll be in any shape to fight.' Asuma thought as he retrieved his lighter and trench knife, before rushing off to rejoin the others.
*With Hōki*
Meanwhile, Hōki and the remaining Takumi Ninja were getting close to siphoning enough Chakra to revive Seimei. Only for their attention to soon turn to Ryūgan and Kujaku when they appeared in green flashes, with Ryūgan held his injured arm from the snake bite. While Kujaku fell to her hands and knees as her entire body was covered in burns.
"What happened?" Hōki asked with a frown at the stated they were in.
"The Ninja proved to be more annoying than we thought, they had an Uchiha and Hyūga with them! And the Uchiha took the Chakra Sabers!" Said Ryūgan with a scowl, while some of the Ninja looked either nervous or angry that the Chakra Sabers were now in the hands of Konoha, even worse with an Uchiha.
"I was nearly burned alive by one of those bastards! I was lucky to even be able to teleport away before I was turned to ash!" Kujaku said, unable to even stand up thanks to the burns.
Hōki scowled in anger at hearing this, being able to guess the Ninja Ryūgan had with him were all dead now, and given the fact that Suiko hasn't returned it's likely he's dead as well.
"Then we need to hurry and revive Seimei-sama before the Ninja get here! We've come too far for them to stop us now!" Hōki said while summoning the Infinite Armor and putting it on, refusing to let the Ninja stop them when they're so close to resurrecting Seimei.
Only for the Takumi Ninja to tense when Kakashi and Yamato suddenly jumped through the trees in front of them.
"Sorry to disappoint you then, since no one will be getting revived. Not Seimei, and certainly none of you." Kakashi said, lifting his headband and revealed his Sharingan, making some of the Takumi Ninja tense at the sight of the Dōjutsu.
"I recognize you, you're Kakashi Hatake the Copy Ninja. I'm sure killing you will show the rest of the Hidden Villages just how powerful Takumi Village and our weapons are." Said Hōki with a smirk, before giving a shout and swinging his sword unleashing a large wave of flames at the Jōnin.
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!" Kakashi said, going through handsigns before spewing out a large amount of water, forming a wall of water that blocked the flames while creating a large amount of steam in the process.
With several Takumi Ninja charging forward through the steam to attack the Ninja, only to immediately be cut down when Kakashi rushed through the steam with a kunai. Slashing the Takumi Ninja the moment they got too close, with his Sharingan helping block and dodge their attacks.
Dropping down into a crouch when one of the Ninja swung a broadsword at his head, Kakashi stabbed his kunai into the Ninja's gut before sweeping their legs out from under them and snatching their sword out of the air when they dropped it. With the Copy Ninja spinning around and blocking a hammer from another Ninja while casting a Genjutsu on them, allowing Kakashi to slash them across the chest with the sword.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Spears!" Said Yamato, going through handsigns and slamming his hands on the ground, causing numerous stone spikes to shoot up and impale the Takumi Ninja.
"Your rocks won't stand up to my dragons!" Ryūgan said, holding his Garian Sword in his other hand, channeling Chakra to it as the dragons emerged and lunged forward, smashing through the spikes towards Yamato.
"I doubt you'll do much against this! Wood Style: Smothering Binding Jutsu!" Yamato said, making handsigns before holding his arm out as it turned into wood, with numerous tendrils shooting out and ensnaring the dragons.
"What?!" Said Ryūgan in shock at the sight of the Mokuton, as even those in Takumi Village knew about the fabled Kekkei Genkai of the Shodai Hokage, before the bluenette grunted when the wooden tendrils sped forward and ensnared him as his sword returned to normal with his Chakra sealed away.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang!" Kakashi said, creating a beast of lightning and directed it at Ryūgan, much to his fear at the sight of the lightning beast coming at him.
"Peacock Whirlwind!" Kujaku said, swinging one of her swords, creating a whirling gale that disrupted the Lightning Jutsu.
"You seem to forget that fire always beats wood!" Said Hōki, coating his sword with fire and cut apart the wooden tendrils binding Ryūgan, much to his relief.
"Then we'll just extinguish it! Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!" Said Kakashi, releasing a jet of water at Hōki.
Only to be surprised when one of the Takumi Ninja carrying a trident jumped in front of him and sliced the water jet in half, before then directing the water back at Kakashi and Yamato.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" Yamato said, slamming his hands on the ground, causing a stone wall to rise up in front of him and Kakashi, blocking the water.
"We have you Ninja, now!" Said a Takumi Ninja with a large axe, shouting as they swung it and cut the stone wall in half, much to Kakashi's and Yamato's shock.
Before the two Jōnin gagged in pain when they were suddenly shot with multiple arrows from the Ninja carrying bows. Followed by two Takumi Ninja with spears rushing forward and stabbing Kakashi and Yamato through the chest.
"HA! Not so tough now ar-AAAAAHHHHH!" Said the Ninja with a smirk, only to scream in pain when "Kakashi" exploded into a burst of lightning.
While the Ninja that stabbed Yamato could only gasp and gag when "Yamato" was revealed to be a Wood Clone, with wooden spikes shooting out of it through the Ninja.
"Wood Style: Tree Bind Flourishing Burial!" Yamato said while going through handsigns, causing several trees to suddenly sprout up underneath multiple Takumi Ninja, ensnaring and smothering them once they were fully trapped.
"Lightning Transmission!" Said Kakashi and a clone, with both having a Raikiri connected by a stream of lightning.
With the two rush forward at the bow-wielding Takumi Ninja, bisecting all of them with the lightning beam.
"RAAAAHHH! You Ninja will pay!" Hōki shouted in anger at their allies the Konoha Ninja have killed, swinging his sword and unleashing a large blast of flames.
"You'll all burn! Rotating Ferocious Wind!" Said Kujaku, swinging her swords, creating a large gust of wind that empowered Hōki's flames.
"Earth Style: Multi Mud Wall!" Said Kakashi, slamming his hands on the ground, with multiple stone walls rising up and blocking the flames before they could be hit.
"I'll tear you Ninja to pieces!" Ryūgan said, channeling a large amount of Chakra to his sword and launching his dragons at the walls.
"You can try. Wood Style: Nativity of a Sea of Trees!" Yamato said, going through handsigns and causing multiple trees to emerge from the ground blocking the dragons.
"The only thing you're doing is giving us more fuel for your pyres!" Said Hōki as he spun his sword around, creating a vortex of fire that rushed through the trees and burst through the stone walls.
Only for Kakashi and Yamato have moved out of the way before the flames could reach them, though the two Jōnin then saw the remaining Takumi Ninja rushing at them. Making them tense in preparation, though the moment the Takumi Ninja were close enough, Kakashi and Yamato suddenly burst into flower petals.
"Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
Before the Takumi Ninja cried out when dozens of snakes shot out from the trees, digging their fangs into their bodies or wrapping around them, leaving the Ninja restricted.
"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!"
With them then being surrounded by a cloud of gunpowder before it was ignited, engulfing the Takumi Ninja in a fiery explosion.
"Leaf Hurricane!" Said Gai, appearing in the center of five Takumi Ninja before delivering a spin kick that sent them all flying back.
The remaining Takumi Ninja and the now Three Celestial Symbols Men watched as Kakashi and Yamato reappeared, along with Satsuki, Hinata, Kurenai, Anko, Asuma and Gai.
"I take it you all dealt with your opponents." Kakashi stated, glad that the rest of the retrieval team had arrived, giving them the chance to end this quickly.
"The lackies we handled, but the blue brat with the mouth teleported away to save his own skin. Not that it'll matter soon enough." Said Anko with a smirk.
"Looks like mine survived too, barely though." Asuma said upon seeing that Kujaku was still alive, but doubted she'd be able to really fight.
"Where's Naruto?!" Demanded Satsuki, glaring at the Takumi Ninja.
"He's in that dome, and they're siphoning his Chakra!" Hinata said, seeing Naruto in the dome with her Byakugan and how his Chakra was being absorbed, though she also saw something else happening to him.
"That's right! And now, the time has finally come for Seimei-sama to be revived!" Hōki said with a smirk, feeling that they had finally absorbed enough Chakra from the whiskered ravenette.
Much to the retrieval teams concern they were getting close to reviving Seimei and had just been stalling for time.
"Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Satsuki said, going through handsigns before releasing a large fireball at the Takumi Ninja.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!" Said Hinata, creating several lightning balls she launched at the Takumi Ninja.
"You brats won't interrupt our victory!" Ryūgan said, unleashing his dragons at the Jutsu, tearing through the fireball.
"Seimei-sama will return! Great Vacuum Cannon!" Said Kujaku, shooting several blasts of wind that caused the lightning balls to disperse.
Hōki let out a shout as he stabbed his sword into the ground, creating a wall of fire between them and the retrieval team.
"Water Style: Water Bowl!" Yamato said, holding his hands out and shooting a jet of water at the flames, extinguishing them.
Only for the Takumi Ninja to come charging through at the retrieval team, intending to keep holding them off until Seimei is revived.
"Severe Leaf Hurricane!" Gai said rushing forward and jumping up, delivering a powerful and devastating spin kick to the Ninja that sent them flying through the air.
With Satsuki quickly rushing ahead with her Chakra Sabers and Sharingan activated, sliding under one of the Ninja swinging a mace, nearly bisecting them with one of her sabers. Before jumping up and over another Ninja with a spear, slicing them down their shoulder and chest.
"Little girls shouldn't get in the way of grownup business! Wind Cutter Jutsu!" Kujaku said, swinging her swords at the Uchiha, releasing waves of wind at her.
"And you should know when to quit! Fire Style: Demon Lanterns!" Said Satsuki creating several fireballs shaped like ghost heads, which were empowered by Kujaku's winds as they rushed towards her.
Making the greenette's eyes widen at the sight, before quickly jumping back, only to scream in pain when the ghost heads exploded into a massive inferno. Scorching her body even further as she was sent crashing into a tree.
"Payback time, you little bi-GAH!" Ryūgan said, rushing at Satsuki, only to gasp in pain when he was suddenly struck in the back as Hinata suddenly spun around in front of him.
"You're within my range of division!" Hinata said before striking two of Ryūgan's Tenketsu.
"Two Palms!"
"Four Palms!"
"Eight Palms!"
"Sixteen Palms!"
"Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!" Said Hinata, giving a final strike to Ryūgan's abdomen, sending him flying back before he hit the ground, groaning in pain.
Before they turned to Hōki, only to find him standing in front of Seimei's coffin as the lid fell down, revealing Seimei's preserved body.
"You're too late! Seimei-sama, let your spirit be revived as I offer up my body to complete your resurrection!" Said Hōki, with Kakashi running at him while going through hands before grabbing his wrist.
"That's not happening! Raikiri!" Said Kakashi as lightning flared to life in his hand, thrusting the attack forward to impale Hōki.
Only for it to be too late as Hōki shouted while his body began dissolving into particles of light that merged with Seimei's body, leaving behind his Fire Sword and the Infinite Armor. Before an explosion of Chakra threw Kakashi and everyone else back.
"He rises!" A Takumi Ninja declared gleefully along with the rest upon seeing that their leader had been revived.
"Kakashi, what's happening?!" Asuma asked as they covered their faces as the wind began kicking up and swirling around Seimei's coffin, while his body was enveloped in a bright glow.
"I don't know! But be prepared, there's no telling what Seimei will be like or how strong!" Said Kakashi, given they used the Chakra of not just an Uzumaki Jinchūriki, but whatever else that other power Naruto had in him.
With the retrieval team growing worried when they also began hearing Naruto screaming within the metal dome, with Satsuki and Hinata being the most concerned. Their worry only growing when his screams seemed to start changing to roars.
Before the winds and glow began dying down, letting everyone see Seimei's revived form, only for them all to be shocked when they saw him.
Seeing Seimei had pale white skin, long, wavy pure white hair that seemed to grow around his forehead and eyes like fur that was grey and black, and pale green eyes with slit pupils along with having black claws on his hands. The most shocking parts were the white wolf ears on top of his head, the white wolf tail emerging from his tailbone, and his legs being completely covered in white fur and beast-like in appearance with long, elongated claws.
While his attire consisted of an open, high-collared black robe showing his muscular chest with grey tribal tattoos across it with the sleeves of the robe having openings along them and tucked into the black and bronze bracers he had around his wrists, bronze shoulder pieces, bronze chains that connected to the back of the robe and the front around his upper arms. A white collar with bronze trimming, with a translucent white fabric hanging down from his shoulders that went down to his feet with bronze tassels hanging from them, while around his waist was large black band with bronze trimming and a white cloak that covered his lower half.
The sight of him shocked everyone, especially the Takumi Ninja given how he looked nothing like the records described Seimei as looking.
"Se-Se-Seimei…-sama?" Ryūgan asked in shock, with Seimei soon regaining his bearings and looked down at himself.
"What…what has happened?! Why have I been revived in such a state?!" Seimei said, stunned at his appearance, unable to see anything of his old appearance.
"The…the boy! He's an Uzumaki, and a Jinchūriki! He's the one we used to revive you Seimei-sama, his Chakra must've done it!" Kujaku said, realizing Naruto's Chakra must've caused this, with them having learned he was a Jinchūriki during the ritual.
And the fact Tōtōsai trained him likely meant he was also an Uzumaki as well.
"An Uzumaki Jinchūriki…that certainly explains why I feel so powerful. The Chakra of an Uzumaki and the Kyūbi are now mine." Seimei said smiling wickedly, showing his elongated canines as well, as he clenched his fists, feeling how much more powerful he was now than in his original life.
"Don't get used to it, Seimei! Because we're sending you back to the Pure Lands, right now!" Kakashi said as the retrieval team got ready to put him back in the ground, while Seimei glanced at them.
"It seems Ninja are still as arrogant as they were a hundred years ago. But I suppose you'll be good test subjects to see the extent of my new strength. Be honored that you'll be the first victims of the Ultimate Weapon!" Seimei said before going through handsigns as the Fire Sword, Infinite Armor, Garian Sword and Weaknessless Soaring Shortswords flew towards him.
With the Infinite Armor being on his chest, the Fire Sword being inserted into a slot on its forehead, the Soaring Shortswords merged with two of the straps on the Infinite Armor, and the Garian Sword was behind him with the three prongs extending and curving around him. Along with the three green orbs in the swords being removed and expanding into orbs of Chakra around him as Seimei floated in the air on one.
"We'll see how ultimate you are as a pile of ash! Fire Style: Fox Fire!" Satsuki said, creating ten blue fireballs and launched them at Seimei.
"Peacock Whirlwind." Said Seimei as one of the Garian Sword prongs turned into a dragon and unleashed a powerful gale of wind, which collided against fireballs.
But rather than strengthen the fireballs, Satsuki was surprised when the wind pushed them back and was ignited into a fiery vortex, that was now coming right at her.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" Yamato said going through handsigns and slamming his hands down on the ground, creating a stone wall in front of Satsuki to block the flames.
Only for the inferno to smash right through the wall, while the ravenette quickly used a Substitution to avoid being reduced to ash.
"Fire Style: Flame Whirlwind!" Hinata said as fire appeared around her in a spiral formation before she launched it straight towards Seimei.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Said Kakashi, releasing a blast of wind, empowering Hinata's flames.
Glancing at the combined Jutsu, Seimei had another of the dragons form and open its mouth, smirking as it began devouring the flames while the Infinite Armor absorbed the Chakra from them.
"Dynamic Entry!" Said Gai, jumping into the air and delivering a diving kick towards Seimei, only to be shocked when the "Ultimate Weapon" caught his foot and didn't even flinch.
"It seems I'm also physically stronger as well." Seimei stated as his smirk grew, while one of the Soaring Shortswords quickly blocked Asuma's trench knives, absorbing the Chakra from them.
"Peacock Whirlwind Formation." Said Seimei before a vortex of wind erupted around him that sent Asuma and Gai flying back.
"Wood Style: Great Forest Jutsu!" Yamato said, holding his arm at Seimei as numerous wooden tendrils shot out to ensnare him.
"Great Vacuum Cannon." Seimei said, shooting out dozens of blasts of wind, smashing right through the wooden tendrils and slamming into Yamato, sending the Jōnin crashing into a tree with a grunt of pain.
Before Seimei looked down when he saw roots growing underneath him and wrapping around his body, until soon he was bound to a tree. Only for the Garian Sword prongs to turn into dragons and bite into the tree, making Kurenai cry out as her Genjutsu shattered.
"Foolish mistake using Genjutsu, when the Infinite Armor simply absorbs the Chakra in it and you." Seimei said as he had the dragons tear Kurenai's body apart, only for the Genjutsu Mistress's body to dissolve into snakes that lunged at him.
Only for Seimei's body to be engulfed in flames, reducing them to ash.
"Rotating Ferocious Wind." Said Seimei as the fire around him suddenly erupted into a gigantic firestorm that rushed forward to engulf the Ninja, forcing them to move back.
'Gotta act fast!' Kakashi thought as he quickly began flipping through dozens of handsigns.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu!" Kakashi said, expelling a massive amount of water at the flames as both attacks colliding together, creating a large wall of steam.
"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!" Said Asuma, breathing out a cloud of Chakra-infused gunpowder into the steam to hopefully engulf Seimei.
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!" Anko said, letting out a stream of fire that hit the gunpowder, triggering a fiery explosion around Seimei.
"You're all too slow." Seimei stated from above, much to the retrieval teams shock as they looked up to see Seimei floating in the air on the orb of Chakra.
"I believe I've been defending for too long. Now it's my turn to attack." Said Seimei, smirking wickedly as all three dragon heads emerged before growing even larger than before.
"Great Vacuum Cannon." Seimei said as two of the dragons unleashed dozens of blasts of wind, while the third released a large stream of fire.
With the wind blasts passing through the flames and igniting into massive, high-speed fireballs descending towards the Ninja.
"Wood Style: World of Trees Wall!" Yamato said as he began creating countless wooden branches that grew and interlocked into a net-like wall, grunting just as the fireballs began crashing into it.
"Gate of Opening! Open!" Gai said opening the first gate before vanishing in a burst of speed.
Reappearing in the air right in front of Seimei, making the "Ultimate Weapon's" eyes widen at his sudden appearance. Before grunting when Gai kicked him higher up into the air, with the Green Beast following after him, kicking Seimei even higher up.
Once they were high enough, Gai vanished in another burst of speed, appearing behind Seimei as he wrapped his arms around him and began spinning them around.
"Let's see how you handle this! Primary Lotus!" Said Gai as they dived back to the ground.
Though as they began closing in on the ground, Gai began feeling his Chakra being rapidly drained by the Infinite Armor, making him curse as he quickly tried releasing Seimei. Only to cry out when the Garian Swords dragons bit down into his body, increasing the drain on his Chakra.
"Let's see how you handle it, Ninja." Seimei said as he took control of the attack while draining Gai's Chakra.
When they were close enough to the ground, Seimei flipped them around and had his dragons throw Gai right into the wooden wall, sending the Jōnin smashing through it.
"Wind Cutter Jutsu." Seimei said, swinging the Soaring Shortswords through the air, releasing dozens of blades of wind that slashed right through the wood wall, cutting the Ninja into pieces.
Though Seimei frowned in annoyance when the Ninja all burst into flower petals, seeing they escaped with Genjutsu.
"Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" Anko said, shooting dozens of snakes out of her sleeves at Seimei only for him to engulf his body in flames again, incinerating the snakes.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang!" Said Kakashi, creating a lightning beast that lunged forward at Seimei.
"Peacock Whirlwind." Said Seimei, having one of the dragons release a whirling gale of wind that destabilized that lightning beast and crashed into the Copy Ninja, sensing him flying back.
"Wood Style: Tree Bind Flourishing Burial!" Yamato said, creating a tree underneath Seimei to ensnare and crush him, only for the dragons to tear it apart while absorbing the Chakra from it.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!" Said Satsuki, taking out some shuriken and throwing them at Seimei while infusing them with Fire Chakra.
"Lightning Style: Electric Shock Needles!" Hinata said, creating multiple lightning needles she launched at Seimei.
"Peacock Whirlwind Formation." Seimei said, surrounding himself in a vortex of wind only for it to grow into a gigantic hurricane that destroyed the lightning needles, while sending the shuriken flying everywhere.
Making the Ninja grunt in pain when the shuriken came flying at them, being unable to dodge with how fast they cut through the air. Only to soon find themselves lifted off the ground by the force of the hurricane around Seimei.
"Great Vacuum Cannon." Said Seimei, causing numerous blasts of wind to shoot out of the hurricane and slam into the Ninja, making some of them cry out from the impacts.
"Gate of Healing! Open! Gate of Life! Open!" Gai said, opening the next two gates as his skin turned red, his hair floated up and an aura of green Chakra appeared around him.
"Severe Leaf Hurricane!" Said Gai, suddenly appearing in the hurricane and delivering a spin kick to Seimei, knocking him out of the hurricane.
With Gai appearing behind the "Ultimate Weapon", slamming his knee into his back, knocking Seimei up into the air. Pulling out the Sōshūga, the Jōnin suddenly began blitzing around Seimei, striking him repeatedly in the air with his nunchaku while moving too fast for anyone to follow.
"Gate of Pain! Open!" Gai said opening the next gate as his speed increased even further, allowing him to strike Seimei even faster.
While the "Ultimate Weapon" gritted his teeth from the faster and stronger blows, feeling even with the Infinite Armor healing him with the Chakra it's absorbed, he's being injured faster than it can heal.
Until finally Gai delivered a kick that knocked Seimei high up into the air, before wrapping his nunchaku around Seimei's body.
"Hidden Lotus!" Gai said as he began diving down to the ground with Seimei, gritting his teeth as the Garian Sword dragons bit into his body again.
"Peacock Whirlwind Formation!" Said Seimei surrounding himself in a whirlwind, empowering the wind to cut into Gai's body with the Green Beast forcing himself to block out the pain to take Seimei down.
Only to be unable to stop himself from crying out when Seimei ignited the whirlwind, which began burning his body in addition to the wind slicing him.
Luckily they soon crashed into the ground, bringing an end to the fiery vortex as everyone looked through the smoke to see who was still standing. With the retrieval team looking in shock to see Seimei getting back up, all of his injuries quickly healing while Gai was struggling to stand.
"That was certainly a powerful attack, if it had been anyone else you might have succeeded in killing them. Unfortunately, you're up against me. Great Vacuum Cannon." Seimei said, aiming all three dragons at Gai and unleashed a barrage of wind blasts at the Green Beast.
Gai gasped and grunted in pain at each impact, sending him flying back through the air with Kakashi catching him before he hit the ground.
"Now you Ninja can burn. Rotating Ferocious Wind." Said Seimei as two of his dragons unleashed blasts of flames, while the third shot out gale force winds.
The three combining together into a giant blasts of fire heading straight for the retrieval team, making Kakashi set Gai down before he and Yamato went through handsigns.
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!" Kakashi and Yamato said, spewing out jets of water that formed a large wall of water in front of them.
Grunting when the inferno smashed into the water wall and began vaporizing it faster than they could make it. Forcing the Jōnin to channel more Chakra into the Jutsu to try and keep it up until the fire dies down.
'How can he be this strong?! I've never heard Seimei having power like this, when he was alive! Is it really because they used Naruto's Chakra and the Kyūbi's?! Having the Chakra of an Uzumaki, even a half Uzumaki, a Bijū, not to mention that power Naruto has! Is it really all from him?! If so…then Seimei has to have gained enough power to be on the level of a Kage! I need to think of something, fast!' Kakashi thought, seeing how the flames were starting to break through the water wall.
Unknown to the Copy Ninja, his Sharingan began changing as the tomoes began pinning around the pupil and changing shape. Until soon they were now three triangles wrapping themselves around the pupil, similar to a pinwheel.
Kakashi felt a sudden pulse go through his Sharingan before the retrieval team was shocked when a swirling distortion appeared in front of them, sucking up the flames inside of it. With it not being long before the flames were fully absorbed, allowing Kakashi and Yamato to drop the water wall.
Before they then saw Kakashi collapse when he felt how little Chakra he had from…whatever it is he seemed to do.
"Senpai!" Yamato said, catching Kakashi before he hit the ground while the others rushed forward, wondering what happened.
"I don't know how you did that, but it seems you won't be doing it again. Great Vacuum Cannon." Seimei said, having the dragons firing dozens of wind blasts that ripped right through the Ninja, only to frown in annoyance when they burst into flower petals.
Until he saw the flower petals swirling around him at high-speed, making Seimei's frown deepen that they were trying to catch him in a Genjutsu again. Only to growl when he felt something slice his cheek, showing there were weapons in the petals.
"Peacock Whirlwind Formation." Seimei said, creating a vortex of wind around himself, blowing away any weapons they'd try throwing at him.
"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!" Asuma said, releasing a cloud of gunpowder that was pulled in by the hurricane and swirled around Seimei.
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!" Said Anko, shooting out a stream of fire that ignited the gunpowder, engulfing Seimei in a large explosion.
Only for the explosion to suddenly be blown away from Seimei, though before he could attack the "Ultimate Weapon" found himself ensnared by multiple string bean vines and lifted into the air. With a large bean pod rising up in front of him and opening to reveal Kurenai emerging from it.
"I've already said such illusions are useless against me!" Said Seimei as his dragons lashed out and bit into Kurenai's body, only for her to burst into snakes that lunged at him.
Seimei gritted his teeth when he saw the vines were actually dozens of snakes that bit into his body, injecting him with poison and venom. Only for Seimei to cover his body in flames and burn the snakes into ash, letting him fall back to the ground.
"Too bad for you, this is real now. Fire Style: Flaming Hail!" Said Anko as the burning remains of the snakes turned into arrows made of fires that rained down on Seimei, with the dragons devouring the arrows and the Chakra used to make them.
Before the ground suddenly burst open underneath Seimei, revealing a giant snake with its mouth open to devour him, forcing the "Ultimate Weapon" to fly up into the air. While aiming his dragons at the snake, releasing blasts of fire to burn it. Though Seimei suddenly felt someone grab his head from behind, along with a sickeningly vile Chakra being absorbed by the Infinite Armor.
"And unfortunately for you, you just pissed me off. Fire Style: Hiding in Ash Jutsu!" Anko said, releasing a large cloud of Fire Chakra-infused ash right onto Seimei, burning him the moment it made contact.
Gritting his teeth as his body was burned and the feeling of the vile Chakra the Infinite Armor was absorbing, Seimei creating a whirlwind around himself to slice into the purplette's body. Only for Anko to jump back before the wind could touch her.
"Wind Cutter Jutsu!" Said Seimei, turning around and swinging the Soaring Shortswords at Anko, releasing several blades of wind, which she avoided with a quicky Substitution Jutsu to get back on the ground.
With Seimei noticing the black markings that were now covering the left half of Anko's body and how she's now glaring murderously at him. Given how with how powerful he is, and both Gai and Kakashi out of commission, the Tokubetsu Jōnin had been left with no choice but to reluctantly use her Curse Seal to give herself a boost. Something that now made her more eager than ever to kill him for pushing her to do the last thing she ever wanted to do.
"Fire Style: Flame Capture!" Said Anko, creating a whip made of fire and launched it at Seimei.
"Peacock Whirlwind!" Seimei said, having one of the dragons release a whirling, gale of wind blowing away the whip and making the whirlwind burst into flames as it crashed into the purplette.
Though Seimei scowled in annoyance when she burst into flower petals that launched themselves at him.
"Rotating Ferocious Wind!" Said Seimei swung the Soaring Shortswords, releasing a powerful whirlwind that blew the petals away as they stabbed into trees, showing they were shuriken.
"Wind Style: Verdant Mountain Gale!" Asuma said, going through handsigns and launching his trench knives at Seimei, cutting through his whirlwind only for them to blocked by the Soaring Shortswords.
"Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" Said Anko, launching dozens of snakes out of her sleeves at Seimei.
"Fire Style: Demon Lanterns!" Satsuki said, creating multiple ghost head fireballs that she sent at Seimei.
"Fire Style: Fox Fire!" Said Hinata, shooting ten blue fireballs at Seimei while they combined with the ghost heads turning them blue.
"Wood Style: Smothering Binding Jutsu!" Yamato said as his arm turned into wood while numerous tendrils shot into the air and ensnared Seimei.
Scowling as he was caught by the tendrils and the numerous attacks coming at him, Seimei felt his annoyance growing at the Ninja's refusal to simply accept their inevitable ends.
"ENOUGH!" Seimei roared as the dragons roared along with him, releasing sonic blasts all around him that ripped apart the wooden tendrils binding him.
Along with releasing a massive cyclone of screeching, razor sharp wind that crashed into the retrieval team. Making all of them cry out as they were sent flying through the air as the wind slashed across their bodies.
"Now burn!" Said Seimei said, having all three dragon heads unleash blasts of fire, turning the cyclone into a gigantic inferno as the retrieval team was burned by the fire in addition to the wind cutting them.
With Seimei keeping the attack up until finally ending it, allowing the Ninja to fall to the ground, struggling to get back up only to collapse. While the "Ultimate Weapon" floated down to the ground, looking at his defeated enemies with a wicked smirk. Only for it to grow into a dark smile as Seimei began laughing madly.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh yes! This new body and power are more than I could've dreamed of when I was revived! With this new power I'm no longer just the Ultimate Weapon, I'm now the Ultimate Being! Not even the likes of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha could hope to stand against me!" Seimei laughed, reveling in his new, unstoppable power, believing that no one would have a chance to oppose him.
"Yes! You're amazing Seimei-sama!" Ryūgan cheered at the sight of their leader's power.
"Finish them off, Seimei-sama! Let these worthless Ninja realize how foolish it was to stand against Takumi Village!" Kujaku said eagerly, wanting to see Seimei kill the Ninja.
"We'll finally show those Ninja how powerful we really are!"
"No one will ever look down on Takumi Village again!"
"Now we'll be the ones standing at the top with how unstoppable weapons!"
"Yes! Soon we will show the Hidden Villages and all Ninja that Takumi Village possesses the Ultimate Weapon, while they are little more than broken tools to be discarded for good! Soon we will reign supreme over the entire world!" Declared Seimei, making the Takumi Ninja cheer, before the "Ultimate Weapon" turned to the defeated Ninja.
"And the first to feel our power are these broken weapons and the rest of Konoha!" Seimei said, aiming his dragons at the Ninja to finish them off.
But just before Seimei could incinerate them, he stopped when he heard a sudden sound, frowning when he heard it again.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Annoyed that his moment was interrupted, Seimei looked around for where the banging was coming from, only to look at the metal dome Naruto was trapped in.
"Oh yes, the one who helped me gain my new power. I suppose even Ninja have their uses, if only to make me stronger. Perhaps I'll take the rest of the boy's power to see just how strong I can truly become." Seimei said, smirking wickedly at the chance to take the rest of Naruto's power and grow more powerful.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
"Yes, yes, no need to be so loud. You'll be joined by your pathetic allies soon enough, once I've finished them." Said Seimei, approaching the dome to take the rest of Naruto's power.
But before Seimei could get close, he was thrown back along with the rest of the Takumi Ninja when the dome suddenly exploded in a burst of black and red Chakra.
"What?!" Seimei shouted as he stood up, angered at what just happened and how the Uzumaki was able to break free.
Only for everyone to not see Naruto where the boy once was, but instead saw Zen-Aku in his place, kneeling down on one knee and holding a now transformed Zangetsu. With it resembling an oversized khyber knife, being as tall as Zen-Aku, with a silver hilt, grey wrappings and a small length of chain coming out of the end. While the blade itself was black with a silver edge, with it curving inward slightly near the tip and having an extended protrusion over the hilt, like a trench knife.
Zen-Aku then stood up and lifted Zangetsu up onto his shoulder, looking around and saw the Konoha Ninja on the ground and Seimei standing across from him, making the Duke Wolf narrow his eyes.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Demanded Seimei with Zen-Aku regarding the "Ultimate Weapon" for a few moments before pointing Zangetsu at him.
"I am Zen-Aku. And I'll be the one sending you back to the Pure Lands." Zen-Aku declared, making Seimei scowl as the two stared each other down.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Asuma facing off against Kujaku, who proves rather annoying her swords ability to redirect any Wind Style Ninjutsu back at the user, leading to Asuma using his Ash Pile Burning to spread out plenty of gunpowder and Fire Style: Flint Yagura to ignite it. Leading to Kujaku nearly being burned alive, but manages to teleport away to safety like Ryūgan did, allowing Asuma to continue on.
While we also see in between Gai fighting Suiko, which proves to be a terrible matchup due to Gai not relying on Chakra and only his physical abilities. Leading to Suiko end up being the first causality of the Celestial Symbols Men.
Next we see Kakashi and Yamato arriving at the sight of the ritual and facing off against the remaining Takumi Ninja and Celestial Symbols Men. Something that proves a little difficult, but they manage to hold their own and take out several Ninja until the rest of the retrieval team arrives, only for to be too late as Hōki offers up his life to complete Seimei's revival. With Seimei being revived with a new body and far greater power due to using the Kyūbi Jinchūriki, an Uzumaki and Zen-Aku's power (for a better look at Seimei's new form, google search "white werewolf #13" and it should be the first picture in images).
Finally, we see Seimei's new power allowing him to overpower and defeat the retrieval team, while getting drunk and even more arrogant, believing he could defeat even Hashirama and Madara. While the Takumi Ninja are excited at how powerful their leader has become, believing no one will be able to stop them now.
Only for their soon-to-be victory to be interrupted when Naruto breaks free of the trap he was in, now in his Zen-Aku form and with a transformed Zangetsu, declaring his intentions to send Seimei back to the Pure Lands. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
