Sirens sounded throughout the leaf prison after Zayoshi bursted through his cell and attacked Shikamaru with acidic birds. Shikamaru lay on the ground with his skin in constant pain from the acid.
"Argh! Acid powers? "He said a "devil fruit" gave him these abilities but… argh! Surely this must be some kind of jutsu… no… I need to be open minded..." Shikamaru thought.
Shikamaru, still in pain, sat up slowly.
"Damn it! It's just a constant stinging all over! How the hell am I supposed to… get through this? I need to…"
Shikamaru stopped talking. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he passed out. The pain was too much.
Upstairs leaf guards watched the screens when they heard the sirens go off.
"Hey! Why are the sirens going off? What happened!?" A guard asked.
"Not sure sir! We're currently checking all the level one cameras and we'll go down to level six!" Another guard answered.
"Fool! Start with level six! He's our most important prisoner!" The guard ordered.
"Yes sir!"
The guard pressed a button that showed them the level six camera that was pointed directly at Zayoshi's cell, it was empty. Every guard in the room choked on their words.
"Z…Z….Z….Zayoshi is out of his cell!" The guards yelled in unison.
"Notify the warden! Where the hell is Shikamaru!? Wasn't he talking to him!?" A guard asked.
"He was! You! Call the warden! Three of us will go down to check on Shikamaru-san the other three gather up more guards here on level 5 and stop Zayoshi!" A guard ordered.
"Right!" The guards cheered.
One guard stayed in the camera room to call Ibiki and the other six left the room. When they got outside the room they briefed.
"Okay you all know what you need to do!" A guard said, turning around.
Every guard stared with fright at who was standing behind them. Zayoshi stood over them with his head cocked in a confused manner while stroking his long beard.
"Excuse me young men, could you point me in the direction of my axe?" Zayoshi asked.
The guards still stared with fright. Zayoshi stared back. After a moment Zayoshi laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha my apologies! Specifically, the Bloodlord's Dualblade? It's about this big? Demon designed blade?" Zayoshi asked.
The men stared, paralyzed with fear. Until one of the guards spoke.
"Hey… isn't that the weird axe we confiscated from his home? It should be on level 1 right?" A guard whispered.
"Level 1 you say?" Zayoshi cheered.
The guards angrily looked at the one who slipped up.
"Fool! We'll deal with you later! Zayoshi! Stay right where you are! If you don't want to get hurt you'll go back to your cell right now!" A guard said, drawing a kunai. The other five guards did the same. Zayoshi closed his eyes and smiled. He opened them and continued smiling.
"Well since I know where my beloved axe is then I don't have anymore reason to continue talking to you." Zayoshi said.
Zayoshi's arms began to smoke and crackle, slowly becoming a sticky yellow acid. The guards couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"It's unfortunate you ninja don't know about sea stone or I wouldn't be able to use my devil fruit powers! Lucky me right? Ha ha ha!" Zayoshi laughed.
"Sea sto-?" The guard was interrupted by Zayoshi slamming his hand on the ground.
"CORROSIVE…..SPIKES!" Zayoshi yelled, covering the floor in the sticky yellow acid that covered his arms. The guards' feet burned as the acid met their feet, but they couldn't get out of it because of how sticky it was. Then giant spikes pierced the six guards' bodies, burning them from the injection point and the rest of their bodies.
"ARRGHHHH! IT'S BURNING MY INSIDES!" A guard yelled.
"AGGHHHHHHHH!" Another yelled.
"MY FEET AND BODY ARE IN HELL!" The final one yelled.
Zayoshi walked through the acid with ease, smiling. The guard that was in the room quickly burst through the door to see what the commotion was.
"Guys I called Ibiki-san! He said to-." The guard was choked up seeing the six dead guards still being burned by the acid that impaled them.
He looked down at the ground and saw yellow acid slowly creeping towards him so he jumped back and looked up to see Zayoshi looking right at him.
"Zayoshi!" The guard said, pulling out a kunai.
Zayoshi continued to smile.
"Oi oi oi. I already know where my axe is! I don't have any use for you sir!." Zayoshi said extending his hand.
Zayoshi's arm turned to yellow acid and shot at the guard, sticking him against the wall.
"AHHHHHHH! WHAT IS THIS! IT BURNS!" The guard yelled.
Zayoshi let the man suffer as he continued down the hall to the elevator.
LAND OF IRON
The four kage walked towards the five kage summit from their respective directions and saw the samurai leader, Mifune, sitting comfortably. Mifune looked at them with a serious face. The samurai slowly stood to his feet to greet the kage.
"Welcome, Kage of your respective villages." Mifune said politely.
"You were expecting us I see." Onoki noted.
Mifune nodded slowly.
"Of course, Kazekage-san notified me before he even contacted any of you." Mifune informed.
"How did he know we'd even show up?" Mei asked.
Mifune looked at the mizukage.
"You're all allied nations now correct? Why wouldn't you? Plus, you all have something in common with this man in the paper." Mifune said, holding up the paper of Psycho at Marineford.
Tsunade looked to the side and Ay shook the ground with anger.
"When the hell does this meeting start!?" Ay yelled.
"Please calm yourself, Raikage-san. The Kazekage is already in the building waiting for us. Once we get in and get situated we can speak on this situation." Mifune said, holding out his hand to lead the kage into the building.
The four kage walked in and Mifune followed. Darui noticed Mifune was wearing his armor. He looked back at Mifune who was already looking at him with a straight face.
"Hey, samurai guy." Darui said.
"If you please, address me as Mifune." Mifune said.
Darui was silent.
"Any reason you're wearing armor?" Darui asked.
Everyone side eyed the samurai.
"You see the man who's currently at war in another part of the world, and he is responsible for the attack at the Sand Village, we must stay ready." Mifune explained.
Darui kept staring
"Right…" Darui said.
Eventually the party got to the meeting room where Garra was already sitting. Each seat had coffee in front of it for each kage. Garra smiled when he saw everyone. As did Kankuro and Temari.
"Nice to see you all could make it. It's been a while." Garra said.
"Indeed, it has, Kazekage." Onoki said with a smile.
Mei smiled at Garra.
"Long time no see, Kazekage Garra."
"Mei, it's great to see you." Garra said.
Ay angrily sat down.
"Raikage are you okay?" Garra asked.
"He's just in a mood because of what this Psycho guy did." Darui explained.
Garra nodded.
"I understand. We all have history with him." Garra looked over at Tsunade who didn't look well.
"Lady hokage… are you alright?" Garra asked.
Tsunade looked up slowly.
"Oh… um… yes I'm fine." Tsunade said.
Onoki squinted.
"Wait a minute. I thought Kakashi was the hokage! Tsunade what happened!?" Onoki asked.
Tsunade looked up at Onoki.
"Kakashi is currently on a very serious mission. He was supposed to help escort and protect the princess of Alabasta from any threats, but I guess it took longer than I thought." Tsunade said.
"Hm… I see. It makes sense now. Kazekage, your village was attacked due to the attackers wanting to kill the princess is that right?" Onoki asked.
Garra nodded.
"Yes, that's right. The organization known as DEATH attacked my village." Garra said.
At the mention of DEATH Mifune's eyes widened a little then he squinted.
"Well. How about we start this meeting." Garra said.
"About time!" The Raikage said.
Garra stood up.
"So, as you all know I called you all here to discuss the man known as Psycho Uchiha. He's a war criminal and terrorist who attacked the five great nations sparking the first and second great ninja wars. His bounty in the bingo book for those actions was a staggering 2,000,000ryo but of course his case was closed after he was reported missing for the last 25yrs. No one had any idea where he went until this morning when I received a paper from the Alabasta kingdom. This meeting has been called to ask how exactly we should go about this." Garra explained.
Ay was the first to speak.
"Isn't it obvious!? We storm the place he's at and kill the bastard!" Ay yelled.
"It's not that easy I'm sure. He was already powerful enough to attack the five great nations 25yrs ago and now he's had 25yrs with nobody chasing him to train. How strong do you think he's gotten?" Onoki asked.
"I don't give a good god damn how strong he thinks he's gotten! We're a different breed! All of our combined power and forces could finish him I'm sure!" Ay yelled.
"Perhaps you've forgotten that Madara Uchiha laid waste to an entire army of soldiers and then held his own against us… your anger at what he did in the past is clouding your judgement." Mei said.
"Well what do you propose we do? Huh? Wait for him to come back and kill more people!?" Ay yelled.
"That's not what they're saying at all raikage… of course we want to fight, I've wanted to ever since he put my village in danger, but we have to be smart about this. The people he had attack my village were not normal and I expect him to have an army of people with the same capabilities." Garra explained.
"What kind of abilities are we talking about?" Tsunade asked.
Garra looked down.
"There was a man made entirely of sand… kind of like me, but… he was literally sand. He was untouchable to any other shinobi except me.. There were also minor soldiers, but they were tough enough to fight against us and the Straw hats." Garra said.
"Straw Hats?" Mei asked.
"Pirates from the lands outside ours. They helped us defeat the men who attacked my village they're incredibly strong." Garra said with a smile.
Mifune stared at the kazekage.
"Naruto and the others are currently learning more about them in the world over I'm sure. They've probably learned so much." Garra said.
"There are ninja already over there!? Why the hell weren't we informed?" Ay asked.
"Because it wasn't supposed to go this far. I expected them back a long time ago, but as the Kazekage said, I guess they stayed to get more information on DEATH. If we're going to attack anything or anybody we need to get information from Team 7 first to have an idea of who we're dealing with." Tsunade said, "However…"
The kage looked at Tsunade.
"We have a man locked up in the hidden leaf prison… a.. goat man who fought with Psycho in the second shinobi world war… his name is Zayoshi Botoya…" Tsunade said.
Mifune straightened up and stared at Tsunade with a shocked look on his face.
"A GOAT MAN?! THIS IS NO TIME FOR GAMES!" Ay yelled.
"Zayoshi." Mifune said to himself.
"It's hard to believe I know but it's true! I believe he may have an abundance of information about Psycho and his intentions. We can have him interrogated!" Tsunade said.
Mifune stood up and everyone looked at him.
"Zayoshi Botoya… so he's locked up in the hidden leaf prison… this is certainly big news." Mifune said.
Everyone in the room stared at the samurai.
"You know him, Mifune-san?" Garra asked.
"Oh of course. I've known him personally since the second great ninja war." Mifune confirmed.
Ay grew tense.
"Did you fight each other?" Chojuro asked.
Mifune turned to look at the young man.
"No. No we didn't actually. We both became good friends as a matter of fact. We both had the same ambitions… the same ideals… the same goals." Mifune explained, walking away from his podium.
Ay grew more tense and clenched his fist.
"We both were familiar with a particular man. A man whose voice for peace changed our minds for the better and… "cleansed" us in a way." Mifune explained.
Everyone grew confused.
"Wait where is this going?" Mei asked.
Mifune walked close to Tsunade.
"For the past 25yrs all I've done was train to get stronger… I'm relieved to hear my friend is okay." Mifune said.
Ay started to shake with anger.
"Wait who?!" Onoki asked.
"His message will be heard by the people whether they want to hear it or not. That man's words saved me. And I will follow him until my death." Mifune said, closing his eyes.
As Mifune finished one of her escorts got a call.
"Huh? What!? If you're calling about something like this you'd better not be lying! Alright! I'll let her know!" The guard said.
Mifune kept his eyes closed. All eyes were on the guard.
"What happened?" Tsunade asked.
Everyone waited for an answer.
"Z…Z…Zayoshi escaped his cell and is tearing through the prison! Killing anyone he comes across! Apparently he has the power to become and control acid!" The guard said.
Everyone in the room became shocked. Ay was filled with intense anger. Mifune opened his eyes and looked to the side down at Tsunade. Mifune slowly grabbed his sword.
"He ate the acid acid fruit found in the world outside the ninja one we all know." Mifune said.
Tsunade slowly looked at Mifune with worry.
"How do I know? Because I'm not from these lands either." Mifune confessed.
Everyone in the room expressed shock.
"Mifune the samurai, from the Wano Kingdom! Psycho found and spoke to me, asking me to join him on his journey to change the world!" Mifune exclaimed, drawing his sword, "Don't be surprised at this revelation… a samurai in a world of ninja? It should've been obvious… but you ninja are so limited with resources since the marines from centuries ago banned you from setting even a hair on Alabastain soil. I've been feeding Psycho information all these years and now that I know Zayoshi is alive and well…" Mifune stopped.
Mifune swung his sword with lightning quick speed at Tsunade, who was too shocked to do anything. Mei attempted to use a jutsu, as well as Garra, Onoki tried to activate particle dismantling, but all were too slow.
CLANK!
Mifune stared with a straight face at the Raikagei who blocked his slash.
"As fast as alwayys..." Mifune said.
Ay looked up at Mifune with an intense rage that shook the building.
"I won't let you…" Ay said softly.
Mifune clenched his teeth.
"LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!" Ay yelled at the top of his lungs, pushing Mifune away. The force sent Mifune crashing into a wall and down onto the ground.
Mifune stood back to his feet and got into a stance. He looked at the five kage who were all ready to fight and capture him.
"I'll have to hold them off until Zayoshi arrives… this is what all that training was for, I can't let it go to waste! I refuse to fail Psycho-san!" Mifune thought to himself.
Mifune closed his eyes and opened them again.
"Then kill me if you can!" Mifune said before running out of the room.
HIDDEN LEAF PRISON
Zayoshi had finally made it to the first floor and sprayed a group of guards with acid, burning them.
"Geez it didn't look like there were this many of you when you first brought me in here." Zayoshi said sarcastically.
Zayoshi eventually found a room and kicked the door down.
Inside the room were confiscated weapons and items that were taken even from visiting ninja in the leaf, no one could be trusted to come into this prison.
Zayoshi looked around a bit and found what he was looking for in the corner. A large battle axe that had an orb type design at the butt off it and a solid black handle.
There was a chain on it to holster over the body. Its head was designed as follows: The blade itself was a demon's wing complete with veins in the wing.
The demon was holding another demon by the hand, it looked like it was helping it up to its feet. The large spike pick behind the blade was the demon's horn. The blade was chrome.
Zayoshi smiled as he picked it up with one hand and walked out of the room. When he looked up Ibiki stood in front of him with 100 guards ready for a fight.
"You didn't think you'd be walking out of here that easy did you?" Ibiki said.
Zayoshi laughed.
"That was rather easy now that you mention it." Zayoshi said.
Ibiki smiled.
"I don't know what kind of powers you have, but none of that matters now. You'll go back into your cell and you can await your death sentence date." Ibiki said with a smile.
Zayoshi smiled and closed his eyes, looking down.
"You've always had such a big mouth…" Zayoshi said.
Ibiki became a little surprised.
"I've waited five years… to finally shut it up for good." Zayoshi said, his expression hidden by shadow.
Zayoshi clenched his handle of his Bloodlord's Dualblade and the ending of the axe shone a bright green. Green acid formed around the blade and dripped onto the floor, melting straight through it.
