Chapter 91: Chapter 91 : A Talk With Ino (Rewrite)
[Kirito POV]
The moment I realised that the person who came into my room was Ino, I internally relaxed and finally opened my eyes and lost my grip on the kunai which was in my hand.
"Ino, why are you here? Is there something which you want? Is something wrong" I ask Ino.
I could sense and see the blush and embarrassment on her face.
"I, I thought that. You know" Ino was trying to say something but did not complete her words.
"Is she here because of what I told her earlier?" I thought to myself.
Ino was still looking at me and shying. She was much more red at this point in time than Hinata who saw Naruto out of nowhere.
"Hmm, I should really talk about our relationship now. Till now it was okay because of our age but now as we are getting older puberty is coming to us. Things can't go on like this." I internally thought to myself.
At this time, Ino was also as red as a tomato and almost turned around and was about to go out of the room.
"Maybe she is too shy" I internally thought.
"Wait Ino" I said before she really got out of the room. This is the best time to talk anyway and I really want to make our relationship clear to her right now.
Ino after hearing me did not get out of the room but was still shy.
"Come in Ino. I too was thinking about talking with you" I said and this further nudged her to come inside.
It took her a merry time but finally came inside and sat at the end of my bed.
Although only 12 years old, she is one of the most beautiful girls in Konoha right now.
She has platinum blonde hair and light blue eyes. I personally never like her fetish with purple colour but she looks good in that. Although I think that she will look much better in other colours.
I look at her and her small but still growing breasts and then her small delicate lips.
Then I suddenly realize that I was staring and I am sure that Ino also noticed but did not say anything. She looks a little happy though.
"Probably because all this time I never show her any attention even telling them that I like her.," I thought.
"I love you. You know that right," I said directly because this time around I did not plan to avoid this topic at all.
This totally shocked Ino and she looked at me like I grew another head.
"What did you say," She said almost shouting and all her shyness was long forgotten in her excitement.
"I love you," I said, amused at her reaction and thought that I might as well tease her a little.
"You, you." she was shuttering and had a little hint of joy, anger, shock and nervousness in her voice. I could say this because I was not only focusing on her voice but also sensing her emotion at this time as well.
"Why didn't you say this to me all this time" Ino asked again anger and hesitation.
"I did not because we both are too young," I said and then waited before saying anything.
Ino heard this but did not understand what I meant. She was about to ask me but I was faster to answer.
"Listen Ino. I know that you too like me. But this is too soon. Even in this kind of world where I can't firmly say that I will be alive tomorrow. I can understand why some people find love early. I am fortunate that I have you. But it's still too soon." I said to Ino and saw a complicated expression on her face.
"I am telling you this because now I believe that we can really start to date. We are still far away from the time where we can have anything more but I believe that holding just hands by this point is just a little too irritating both of us." I kept on saying and Ino was listening to everything.
"I believe that this is the right time to talk about this. I do know that you are really important to me. So I was thinking that we could try dating if you don't find any problem and let's try to give this relationship a little time. I am not sure whether we can develop this relationship but I really want to give us a chance" said Kirito.
"God this has to be the most cringe thing I have ever said but I believe, this should work for a 12-year-old girl right," I thought to myself.
She looked shocked and did not say anything for some time. I don't know whether I said something wrong but I already have said it and I have to face what comes like a man.
But the next action which Ino did was not something which I was expecting at all.
Chapter 92: Chapter 92 : First Kiss (Rewrite)
[Kirito POV]
I felt a soft sensation on my lips. I was stunned before understanding what was really happening.
This was Ino kissing me. "What, why so suddenly," I ask myself.
She put her weight on me even more and this pushed me back because there was no support for me to keep sitting in the upright position after she put her weight on me.
She was furiously kissing me while on top of me. I did not know whether I should return the kiss or not.
I did not want to push her back, that would break her little heart. I know that it takes a lot of courage to express feelings like that and take action.
So I decided to kiss back.
Fuck age, I right now just want those lips.
After almost 2 whole minutes of furious kissing, she finally calmed down.
I was breathless and if Ino had continued kissing me for even a little more then I might really have died out of suffocation.
I should really get my kissing game get better if I want to live in the future.
But again, for a person who never had a girlfriend before, something like this should be troublesome.
I look at Ino who after kissing me to death realizes what she just did and now was blushing furiously.
"That was nice, I can definitely get used to that," I said slowly in a husky voice after getting a little closer to her ears.
I might be seeking a relationship with her but that does not mean that I am going to do anything more than kissing for the time being.
Maybe something like that is normal in this world but because I personally don't wanna go by the rules of this world when it comes to this thing.
I need to at least wait until I and Ino are 15. That should be a respectable age I believe.
I should have gone with 18 but there is a huge ass war coming and I don't wanna die a virgin a second time.
Ino shutters after hearing me so close to her.
"I really love you" Ino said looking at me in the eyes with determination.
I know that she loves me. It's enough to know that after this long she still pursues me even after me not give her much attention especially romantically.
"I know, but feelings change as time changes Ino. If you both of us feel this way when we are older then that is an achievement on its own" I said.
"That's fine, I know you better than you think. Just wait for a little more time and you will realize just how much you are in love with me" Ino said in a joking manner.
This made both of us chuckle.
"Okay okay, so here is a little rule. Not getting freaky before we both are at least 15 " I said.
"What why," she asks shying from my implementation but still pouting.
"Well because our bodies are growing right now. It's better to not damage our bodies before we both are a little more grown-up" I said.
Hmm, she did not say anything just got closer to me and started cuddling me.
I really like that. I am not sure what she is thinking. At least I can sense her emotions.
But if I am honestly seeking a relationship with this girl then I should stop using my powers and really get to know her from now on.
I did not let Ino go that night. Or more likely, she was not planning to go out even after I told her.
So we pretty much slept together and before sleeping had another kissing competition.
Now I myself said not to get freaky but I really wanted to grab that ass of her so much. Even being only 12, girls here grow much faster and develop better than what happens on Earth.
So I might internally know that she is only 12 but it is hard to believe.
Sometimes I used to think that I am much older than her but in reality, Ireally am 12.
Maybe my mental age is older but my body and mind, from time to time realize that I am only a 12-year-old kid.
Honestly, I would rather be a 12-year-old if that means I can live a normal life than be an old man stuck in a kid's body and could not live my life at all.
"Well, this went pretty alright," I said to myself.
But now I have to figure out about other girls as well.
I at least know that Karin and Haku have some sort of emotions for me. I am again not sure what to do about them but I need to find an answer about that soon enough.
Chapter 93: Chapter 93 : I Don't Believe You (Rewrite)
As the next day arrived the time for fun ended because Kirito was again back to his professional mode and ready to look for Tsunade.
Ino hardly cared about this as she had a smirk on her face all this time.
Haku was not the only one who could not understand what was wrong with Ino but she did not give that too much attention.
As soon as the sun was up, they once again hit the road to look for Tsunade.
Kirito was especially giving attention to all the bars and gambling houses around him.
"To be honest, I am not really fond of going around and looking for a person door-to-door and in this case bar but a mission is a mission and I can't do anything about this" Kirito muttered to himself.
While Ino and Haku were enjoying themselves looking at all the different items all the merchants had to sell. Kirito was solely focusing on finding Tsunade.
The reason he was hurrying this much was that he wanted to contact Tsunade before Orochimaru found her.
It took some time but he finally picked a powerful yet dull chakra sign.
"This got to be Tsunade. The amount of chakra this person has is amazing, and hardly anyone less than a kage will have this much. Not to mention this chakra is extremely full of vitality.
This got to be Tsunade. " Kirito thought to himself.
"Haku, Ino I sense a powerful chakra from that bar. This might be Tsunade Sama. Let's hurry" Kirito said and started to walk toward the bar with a little more spring in his steps.
Ino and Haku were no different as both of them also wanted to complete this mission soon. At first, they were having fun travelling but soon they realised that they couldn't even stop and look at the scene, being on the mission meant that they had to give them full focus on the mission and not something else.
Upon entering the Bar the first thing which Kirito's eyes were looking for was blonde hairs or very big boobs.
Lucky him that he really found that without much looking around. She was sitting right there and drinking herself silly.
There was another woman beside her. Black hair and beautiful. Maybe not anything close to Tsunade Senju but still beautiful and there was also a strange charm in her in the way she was holding a pig in her arms.
Haku and Ino have never seen Tsunade so they can't say who is but they too could sense a powerful chakra coming from a beautiful blond-haired woman sitting in front of her.
At first, they sense her powerful Chakra and are surprised but later on, they are more envious of the woman for her beauty and her very well-developed assets.
Although Ino was pretty well developing for her age she looked a little down comparing herself with Tsunade but the real shocker was for Haku.
They had what Kirito can only say less than modest goods like Sakura and not this compared to Tsunade god-gifted talent. Kirito could really feel the enviousness in her with his Mind Eye Of Kagura.
Kirito did not think too much about the girl's trepidation and directly approached Tsunade.
"Excuse me, Tsunade Sama," Kirito said, being polite.
Tsunade actually already saw Kirito and the other two girls who were following him.
She also saw the Konoha forehead protector on all of them. Maybe the fact that they were from Konoha that she did not do anything.
She was not planning to contact those small Konoha brats but to her ire, Kirito directly approached her.
This meant to her that they were specifically looking for her. She looks towards the blond-haired boy.
"He looked very familiar" Tsunade thought to herself but maybe because she was drunk she could not remember who he looked like.
Shizune who was standing at the side also looked at Kirito and felt that Kirito was familiar-looking. But she had never seen Minato in his early years and did not know him even when he was a Jonin sensei so she could not figure out who Kirito was even after thinking about it hard.
"What do you want brat" Tsunade was the first one to talk.
"Tsunade Sama, please read this document written by the Konoha elders" Kirito first did not plan to explain the situation. He just gaveTsunade the scroll which the Elders gave him to deliver to Tsunade.
Tsunade saw the scroll and then took it. She did not directly open it. Years of being on the battlefield had made her used to special messages and knew that there was also a chance that there were hidden dangers kept inside the scroll.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the scroll, she finally opened the scroll and started reading the content.
"Looking at her flush face, she is clearly drunk. Is she even capable of reading at this point" Kirito thought to himself.
Unbelievable to Kirito, she really was able to read the content and then close the scroll.
"Not happening. Tell those old goats." Tsunade said and tossed the scroll back to Kirito.
"Well I was not expecting this to be that easily anyways," thought Kirito to himself.
"What but we are asked to bring you back with us" This was Ino who said that and looked at Tsunade.
"And I am not planning to come. So get lost" said Tsunade.
"Can I somehow convince you otherwise Tsunade Sama?" asks Kirito.
"I really don't want to fight this old woman here but if that's the only way I can bring her back to Konoha with me then I will do so" thought Kirito.
"No you can't" Tsunade said with a firm voice.
"How about I pay all of your debts," Kirito said. He already has enough money anyway thanks to his extra circular activities when he was out for the wave mission.
He actually ended up grabbing as much money as he could from Gato back then as much he could.
Currently, he might be the richest man in the land of fire after Daimio himself.
Tsunade after hearing this was stunned but did not believe Kirito at all.
Kirito was not planning to give any money to Tsunade, at least not cash.
He knew that the elders were going to be really stingy in giving his parents' money back to him and his brother so he planned to exchange that with Tsunade's return.
As soon as she is really to come back, he doesn't mind leaving that much money. It's not like he has that much money in his hand anyway.
So better to use it than wait for the money to come for years.
"I don't believe you," Tsunade said.
Chapter 94: Chapter 94 : Pestering Tsunade (Rewrite)
"I don't believe you," said Tsunade.
Kirito did nothing more but just take out a scroll and open it. It was a sealing scroll. The moment Kirito took out what was sealed inside the scroll everyone there became shocked at what they were seeing.
It was money. Enough money that made Tsunade drool. Even Ino, Haku and Shizune became surprised at how much money Kirito was travelling with. This is the moneyKirito specially prepared for Tsunade.
"Kid, how do you have this much money" asked Tsunade but she never left her eyes on the money.
"This is what I was able to earn in my missions and the side work I do. I have more money, enough to pay all of your debts. You just have to come back with us" said Kirito.
Tsunade at this finally lost her interest in the money and looked back at Kirito after hearing about going back to the village.
"You think that with just a little bit of money, you will be able to convince me to come back with you" She snorted.
"No, but I believe that you will at least consider this. I can't change your mind but the village needs you and thus I can't go back without you either. I don't know whether you know this, but the third Hokage is dead. And there is no one in the village that can take the position of Hokage. Please reconsider coming with us" Kirito said once again.
"So you expect me to become the Hokage just like that? What are those elders thinking? I am not coming. Go back and tell them this" Tsunade said and was ready to get out of the bar.
With that said Tsunade took her leave, leaving Kirito and the two girls behind. Kirito did not stop her because he already has put a little Hiraishin seal token on Shizune when she was not looking.
He slowly put all the money he prepared back in his scroll and was ready to get going. He is not going to let Tsunade go just like that.
"Come on, we better follow her. She is not going to hear us until we pester her to the extreme" Kirito said and got out of the bar.
Ino and Haku do not understand what Kirito mean by pestering but they follow him nonetheless.
What followed was that Kirito and his team followed Tsunade and Shizune for 3 days and kept pestering the old women.
After 3 days of pestering, in which Tsunade tried to run away and shake Kirito's team from her back, obviously failing, Tsunade finally could not take it anymore and confronted Kirito.
"I have enough of you brat. I said that I would not come with you and that was final. If you keep pestering me then I have no other way but to slap your ass back to the village." roared Tsunade.
In the past few days, Kirito was constantly pestering Tsunade and kept annoying her. In the past 3 days, Tsunade also comes to learn about Kirito's true heritage. Only after learning about Kirito's real name that Tsunade find out why she found Kirito so familiar.
He practically was a copy of young Minato. But that was not enough to convince Tsunade to come back to the village.
"Sorry, but I don't plan to go back to the village without you. I plan to keep pestering you until either you come with me or I get a notice back from the village that my mission is null and void." Kirito said.
This formed a tick mark on Tsunade's face. She had finally had it.
"Okay brat, I had enough of you. You and me outside right now" Tsuande said and stood up and directly went outside the tavern.
Kirito knew that something similar happened in the anime but Naruto was able to accomplish to irritate Tsunade on the very first day. Kirito just sighed and started walking outside.
"Well maybe after getting kicked in the ass, she might reconsider and come to the village. Maybe" Kirito internally thought to himself.
Ino and Haku were not with him as he gave them free time to roam around while he had fun pestering Tsunade.
After coming outside, Kirito saw Tsunade standing a little far away from her. Practically ready to fight.
"If I win then you will let me alone but if you win then I will come with you," said Tsunade, confident that there is no way she will lose.
Shizune was also there and by the face, She looked worried.
"So I only have to defeat you. Right" said Kirito.
"Don't talk like it's as easy as playing with your girlfriends brat" Tsunade snorted.
Kirito just internally sigh and only got ready to fight.
"Okay then, if fighting is the only way then that may be the case" said Kirito and took a stance.
This time around Tsunade had no notion of only using one finger. Maybe because Kirito was wearing a Chunin vest or maybe because Kirito's name has Namikaze in the end that she did not underestimate.
Although considering Kirito's current power, she might be really underestimating what he can do.
Tsunade gave Kirito the first move. Kirito plans to use it to his advantage.
Chapter 95: Chapter 95 : Sparing With Tsunade (Rewrite)
Kirito rushed towards Tsunade who was not giving him enough attention when fighting. Not to mention she was also a little drunk.
Kirito did not plan to directly show his true capabilities. He first started with simple Taijutsu.
Getting close to Tsunade, he delivers a couple of punches which Tsunade easily dodge.
He was expecting at least this much so no surprise there. Then he switched to his legs and delivered a couple of sharp kicks.
The only problem here was that Kirito was not tall enough to reach Tsunade if she only took a few steps back.
Tsunade then went on the offensive and threw a casual punch towards him. Kirito dodged but then felt the chakra which erupted from that fist.
"Damn, I knew that both of us are not taking this fight seriously yet but damn. A casual punch can knock a normal person and even might kill if connected to the head" Kirito thought to himself
He shows another punch coming and dodges again.
"I might wanna get a little more serious for this fight I guess" Kirito mused and rushed forward again but this time his speed was much faster.
This time Tsunade was a little surprised.
"I knew that this brat was holding back. Now this is a speed worth of a chunin and even that man's son" Tsunade internally thought and reacted.
Tsunade quickly throws a punch towards Kirito but he easily dodges the attack without much issue.
Kirito did a dodge roll towards the side and then did a handstand and rotated his entire body while upside down and opening his legs.
This move was much like a dancer's dance move. But clearly effective as Kirito was rotating and because he was upside down and his legs spread open. It was much like helicopter blades. Not much powerful but certainly effective.
"Humm, this Tekken move does not work that well," Kirito thought to himself.
Tsunade was easily able to dodge Kirito's weird attack and punch the ground.
This time because she was not aiming directly to attack Kirito, did not hold back.
Kirito saw how powerful that punch was and dodged back in a hurry. And sure enough, the power was really terrifying.
The entire ground ended up being destroyed.
"Just like how she fights against Naruto in the anime. This violent woman has no respect for public property" Kirito said to himself.
"Tsunade sama, you know that you will be charged to fix all this right?" Kirito asks her in a deadpan voice.
Shizune also was thinking the same but seeing Kirito directly talk about this to Tsunade sama she also gave a weary smile.
Maybe because she already knew that her Lady Tsunade was not going to pay. It's most likely that both of them have to run from this town and will be chased by the authorities.
"Until all those who come after them are beaten by Lady Tsunade that is." Shizune thought to herself and deadpan as well.
"You don't have to worry about that," Tsunade said and huffed. Kirito might be dreaming but he saw her pouting.
Kirito internally mused at this and thought that this was the time to finally show some of his cards. He coats his hand with Steel release and rushes towards Tsunade.
"I really wanna see how my steel-coated chakra arm fair against her chakra-infused punches," Kirito thought to himself.
Tsunade saw this coming and made another punch, fully expecting Kirito to dodge again, especially after seeing what her punch did to the ground but that was not the case.
She saw Kirito sending one of his own punches towards her and both the punch collided.
"And here I thought that this kid is smart" Tsunade thought but did not complete this thought because of what she was seeing.
Her punch was blocked by Kirito's own punch. This for the first time made her shocked.
Shizune on the side was even more shocked than Tsunade. Unlike Tsunade who knew that she did not use her full power in that punch, Shizune just saw Kirito blocking Lady Tsunade's punch with his own punch.
Kirito did not stop there though, he increased his speed and directly rushed towards Tsunade. Tsunade being the sannin she was, easily adapted to the increase in speed. But that does not mean that she was not surprised.
Kirito was still not using his entire speed but knew that this was how much a normal Jonin speed should look like.
Kirito immediately appeared near Tsunade and followed up with a powerful kick but Tsunade was able to dodge that attack although this time with much more effort.
She also decided to get serious and started putting more power into her punches.
"Hmm, although she is strong as a sannin. Her fighting edge is rough at best after so much time of being inactive and drinking" mutters Kirito to himself.
While this fight was going on. Kirito did not know that a certain Snake Sannin was moving towards his and Tsunade's locations.
His goal was of course Tsunade. His sensei Hiruzen Sarutobi killed him and also took away his hand. After trying everything now he knew that his old teammate is the only person who can help him right now.
Chapter 96: Chapter 96 : Orochimaru Arrive (Rewrite)
The fight between Kirito and Tsunade was going on. Tsunade kept on attacking Kirito after knowing that normal attacks would never connect with Kirito even when upping the power and putting in more effort. Tsunade was not able to connect any of her attacks with Kirito. The alone was enough to render all her punches useless.
It was like he already knew where she was aiming for.
Now Kirito also was serious and finally showing his true speed. He was not holding back anymore. The only thing he was not doing was releasing some of his hidden cards like Hiraishin.
After fighting back and forth. Tsunade already had enough and started un-releasing her true power. Tsunade still did not attack Kirito with her full power and directly punched the ground.
This time the punch was so powerful that the entire ground shook and Kirito too lost his balance. He staggers and almost falls to the ground.
Tsunade though was not planning to give Kirito any time to regain his balance and moved towards to punch him.
"Damn, I was not expecting that she will literally destroy the district to defeat me" Kirito muttered to himself.
Now most people, this situation will find themselves in a rough situation but not Kirito. He had two simple techniques to get out of this situation.
One is of course the Hiraishin technique and another is the Instant replacement technique which he activated the moment Tsunade was about to hit him.
BOOM
The punch which Tsunade aimed at him directly fell off the replacement log which appeared in front of Tsunade after Kirito replaced himself.
"This, This. I might really have died if I had faced that attack" Kirito internally thought and a cold sweat started to form on his forehead.
"I better get really serious about this battle otherwise I will be toast before I get laid" A weary smile was on Kirito's face.
But while he was thinking about this. He senses someone coming towards them. This malicious chakra, he has sensed before.
"Orochimaru" Mutter Kirito and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
Till now he might be fighting with the intention of wasting time and seeing what Tsunade can do so there was no sharp intention of killing in his eyes but that was not the case now.
Both Tsunade and Shizune notice that and suddenly shudder inside.
Then they saw the Kirito who looked like Minato. The sunny and good boy Minato was in his early years but what they were looking at now was the face of the fourth Hokage who was ready to kill his enemy.
Kirito also noticed that both Tsunade and Shizune were staring at him and calmed down a little.
"Tsunade Sama, I am a sensor and there I just sense a powerful chakra coming towards us. To be more accurate this person is Orochimaru" Kirito still had a dangerous glint on his face.
Tsunade after hearing this also became a little stiff. If it was Jiraiya then there was no issue but Orochimaru is not someone who will visit her for just remising about the past days.
"If I am not wrong Orochimaru's hands were damaged after he fought with the lord third and killed him. There is a possibility that he is here for your help" Kirito said.
Although he said this in a normal tone there was a hint of steel in his voice. If Tsunade decides to help Orochimaru then he is ready to take action any time.
Both Tsunade and Shizune were stunned at this but they did not have enough time to think about this because Orochimaru was almost there.
"He is here" Kirito said and just a few seconds later Orochimaru arrived there with Kabuto.
Right now Kirito is not afraid of Orochimaru. Previously he did not intend to fight with Orochimaru because he did not have enough fighting experience and could have made a mistake and died but now is not the case.
After fighting with Danzo and especially after getting all of Minato's memories. He has enough experience and believes in his strength that he is sure that even against a Sannin, he will be able to win.
"Not to mention right now when Orochimaru's hands are useless and his right-hand man beside him will betray him anytime as long as I tell him to do so," thought Kirito to himself.
"KU ku ku ku ku" rang the usual laughing sound of Orochimaru.
"If its not Kirito Kun. I was not expecting you all the way here alone with my old friend" There was a dangerous glint in Orochimaru's voice.
Kirito said nothing and only looked towards Orochimaru clashing his killing intent with his.
While Orochimaru's killing intent was massive like a snake ready to hunt his prey.
Kirito's killing intent was more concise and sharp. Like a sniper ready to shoot and with one hit, kill the enemy.
Tsunade at this point could not even release her own killing intent. Although she was strong she had long lost that fighting edge that she once had.
More importantly, she could not handle all this blood lust because of his phobia of blood.
"Why are you here Orochimaru," Kirito said even after knowing why.
"I am pretty sure that you already know why," Orochimaru said with a mocking reply.
Kabuto was standing beside Orochimaru but did not say anything. Only stood there and saw the situation unfolding.
"It's been a long time Tsunade" Orochimaru looked at her with sly eyes.
" Tsunade Sama. I will advise you to get going. I will take care of Orochimaru here and then we can continue our fight" Kirito said but still was not looking at Tsunade. These eyes never left Orochimaru.
He actually really wanted to fight Orochimaru now. He wanted to test out his real power this time around.
Before he was never able to do that but this might be a good chance to do so.
"Don't be an idiot kid. You are no match for Orochimaru" Tsunade said and Shizune also agreed to this.
Kirito already knew that just telling Tsunade to go would not work but did it anyway because he wanted to show others how confident he was in his strength.
Chapter 97: Chapter 97 : Orochimaru Arrived 2 (Rewrite)
"Don't be an idiot kid. You are no match for Orochimaru" Tsunade said and Shizune also agreed to this.
Kirito already knew that just telling Tsunade to go would not work but did it anyway because he wanted to show others how confident he was in his strength.
"I might be young Tsunade Sama but I am capable of protecting myself, thank you. But I must say again, if you are not planning to help me out then you should go. And also help me remove other civilians from here as well." Kirito was not exactly giving much attention to others but he knew that if he ended up fighting Orochimaru here then it was going to be pretty destructive and he better make sure that everyone was gone from there before that.
"Why so hurry Kirito kun. Have you not thought about my offer yet? I know that you want to know more about your parents and what happened to them back then. I too am very interested to know how you avoid my bite back in the forest of death. I thought about it a much and could not find any way that you could have replaced yourself with a clone. How did you do that" Orochimaru was genuinely looking curious about this and asked Kirito.
"This is madness, Orochimaru is here for me. You don't have to interfere between us two old teammates kid. Get going already" Tsunade said, clearly trying to stop the coming fighting and save Kirito.
"Orochimaru not only attacked the hidden leaf but also killed the Third Hokage, your sensei. You really believe that I will let him go just because he is here on the pretext of visiting an old friend" Kirito for the first time after Orochimaru came to look towards Tsunade with questioning eyes.
"Good thing that those two girls are not here," Shizune thought to herself.
Tsunade was perplexed about what to do about this situation. She did not want Kirito to die but he was apparent about fighting Orochimaru. Tsunade for the time being thought of avoiding Kirito altogether and focusing on Orochimaru.
"Why you are here Orochimaru," asked Tsunade but already had some idea because of Kirito. Not to mention she could see Orochimaru's hand and they indeed were lifeless.
"Can't I visit an old teammate because I just want to?" Orochimaru said but didn't put much effort into telling this lie. Anyone could have told that he was lying.
"I am sure that you have much to worry about that you can take out time from your busy schedule to come to visit me," Tsuande said pointing towards Orochimaru's hands.
"Ah this, a parting gift from our sensei," Orochimaru said mockingly but there was a hint of murderous intent in his voice.
"Anyways, as you said. I do have a reason to visit you. As you can see I don't quite like the gift our sensei gave me. I need your help to heal my hands" Orochimaru said but there was desperation in his eyes.
"What you are suffering with is not a wound from the flesh. It's the souls which is causing you pain Orochimaru. Even the Tsunade Senju can't heal you.
You might be able to change some of that if what I saw in the forest of death is true and you truly can change bodies but It will still be impossible for you to cast much Jutsu with that arm because your soul will not be there in that arm. " Kirito said with a knowing smirk on his face.
Although it is apparent that Orochimaru can't use his hands, not many know that he is also suffering from huge pain in those arms. Kirito only knew that because he knew that canon.
Another crucial bit of information which Kirito gave Orochimaru here was that even his body-changing jutsu will not be able to help him because the damage is not done to only his flesh but also his soul.
And maybe there is a possibility that his soul recover over time but even then it will be pretty hard for him to return back to his peak with those damaged arms even if he changes them with body replacement.
Orochimaru was not expecting that Kirito was so knowledgeable about his condition. He was stunned at first but then he started to doubt that there was a possible mole among his people.
He also immediately discarded that idea as well because even Kabuto is not that knowledgeable about his condition especially about the damage to his soul.
The fact that his soul gets damaged every time he changes bodies is only known to him. He never told so others can't use this against him but now Kirito although not explicitly at least has touched the matter and might even find his weakness in the future.
"Ku ku ku ku, it seems like I have underestimated you, Kirito Kun. May I ask how you know this " Orochimaru although stunned and shocked about Kirito's knowledge, did not show others what he was feeling and asked Kirito very calmly.
Kabuto on the side was also clueless about how Kirito knew so much about Orochimaru's condition and about body replacement jutsu.
"I might not be a genius like you in those complex Jutsus and bio-engineering fields but I have some knowledge about souls and space-time jutsu as I have done some research of my own. I am not perfectly sure what I said is true but considering that you even bother to ask how I know this means that I hit the nail just right" Kirito said with a smirk on his face.
Tsunade was also a genius in the medical field but she could not understand what was happening here. She had zero knowledge about space-time jutsu or the soul's art. But by the reaction of Orochimaru, she could tell that what Kirito said was true.
"But even then, telling that I can't heal someone on my face is disrespectful," Tsunade thought and there was a little tick mark on her forehead.
"What you mean that I can't heal him you brat? Are you doubting my qualifications" Tsunade looked towards Kirito and roared.
"Sorry, I did not mean to disrespect you, Tsunade Sama, what I was saying is that you are just not the right person to help him as his main problem is not something related to the flesh but rather the soul and medical arts on its own is not capable of healing a soul." Kirito quickly rephrased what he said again to Tsuande.
"And what do you think, what can heal my hands," Orochimaru asked in part curiosity about getting more knowledge about soul fields and part desperation as he was still desperate about getting back his arms.
Kirito looked at Orochimaru and thought " This cheap Voldemort really believe I will tell him just like that".
Chapter 98: Chapter 98 : Kirito VS Orochimaru (Rewrite)
"And what do you think, what can heal my hands," Orochimaru asked in part curiosity about getting more knowledge about soul fields and part desperation as he was still desperate about getting back his arms.
Kirito looked at Orochimaru and thought " This cheap Voldemort believe I will tell him just like that".
"Oh I don't particularly have any idea but still you can try healing your soul with the Senjutsu chakra. I am not sure whether that will help or not but it's worth a try" Kirito replied. He knew that something like that was not going to work but still did it nonetheless.
By the looks of it, Orochimaru did not believe what Kirito said but apparently, he did believe what Kirito said about his soul being damaged.
"Hey kid, are you sure that you are not planning to join Orochimaru here? By the amount of information, you are providing him. It almost looks like you are helping him" Ask Tsunade.
"Well he is here after you and it will be a pain to fight him to take you to the village. I better trade this little bit of knowledge so that he saves both of our time." Kirito said and shrugged.
Tsunade was deadpan at that.
"KU ku ku ku. To be honest I agree with your estimate Kirito Kun. I believe that the real solution to my problem is healing my soul but that does not mean that you stopped me from what I come here to do." said Orochimaru.
"And that's why never believe in snakes, they will bite you just to have fun" Kirito internally said and sighed.
"Well then, there is nothing more to say. Time to fight" Kirito said.
The moment he said this, he bought out a three-prong kunai in his left hand and created a wind-style Rasengan in his ring hand.
Everyone present there has seen Rasengan in their life at least one time but what Kirito had in his hand currently was giving him a dreadful feeling.
"This, what is that Jutsu" Tsunade asked already weary of the wind-style Rasengan in Kirito's hand. She also notices the three-prong kunai and her eyes widen. The same was the case with Shizune.
Both Orochimaru and Kabuto already knew that Kirito was able to use the Hiraishin technique, thanks to Kirito single-handedly destroying his troops which he pain snakingly gathered to destroy Konoha.
But even Orochimaru was weary and surprised by the Jutsu in Kirito's hand.
The tension was really palpable right now. No one was making any moves. Kirito was not attacking because he wanted to first sense where Haku and Ino are currently. He will only fight to his heart's content if both the girls are not around him.
After finally sensing that they were pretty far away and the shadow clone he made was watching over them. Kirito finally decided to put all of this attention to the fight in front of him.
Unlike before where he seriously lacked fighting instincts and experience. Now he has all of Minato's memories. He is confident with everything he has right now. Fighting Orochimaru here will be that hard.
Tsunade at the side was looking at this and started to get serious and well. She did not plan to get involved in this fight but knew that this fighting is happening because of her and even if she did not interfere, the winning party will definitely come after her.
She would prefer Kirito over Orochimaru any time of the week. Maybe the reason is that Orochimaru has not told her his offer to bring back his dead brother and lover.
One of the reasons Kirito talked with Orochimaru and took control of the situation was because he wanted to prevent Tsunade from knowing that Orochimaru would bring his dead love back.
That is also the reason why Kirito is the first one to start the fight. And intends to fight Orochimaru this time rather than run away. Because the only way to prevent Orochimaru from talking with Tsunade and brainwashing her is to beat that sneaky snake to kingdom come.
Orochimaru was the first one to move and attack. With the help of Kabuto, he summons Manda.
This was the first time Kirito personally saw a Summon boss and he had to say.
"That freaking cool " Kirito thought to himself.
He quickly makes the Rasengan in his hand disappear and rushes toward Manda. He throws his kunai towards Manda and Orochimaru who standing on the top of the huge snake.
Manda did not give too much attention to this because the moment he was summoned he started demanding the sacrifice of humans just like in the anime.
Orochimaru had to assure him that he would prepare a big sacrifice for him soon.
Kirito quickly flashes near Manda and touches him. Before Orochimaru, Manda or Kabuto knew what was happening, they were already teleported outside of the small town.
Kirito first plans to fight Orochimaru in the town but considering how big that snake was. He can't fight there.
Orochimaru too did not plan to summon Manda but had to do so because his hands are useless right now. Not to mention the terrifyingly dangerous Jutsu which was in Kirito's hand. Out of Instincts he directly went ahead and summon Manda.
Kirito was teleported such a big target thanks to the Nine Tail Chakra.
But then all three of them realize that they have teleported outside the town.
"I was not expecting that his command of flying thunder god was so good that he could even teleport Manda with me, outside the town" Orochimaru thought to himself and started having second thoughts about this fight.
He remembered what a dread Minato was on the battlefield with that teleporting jutsu of his.
At this time Tsunade who was also readying her to fight was dumbfounded as she saw Kirito teleport a big ass snake outside the town.
"This kid is more capable than that brat Minato was at this age" Tsunade muttered and a small smirk came to her face after thinking about how previously she was holding back because he did not want to hurt Kirito.
"Seems like that brat was also holding back too," Tsunade said and jumped to the highest building she could find to know where Kirito teleported Orochimaru and Manda.
"Shizune hurry, go and find those two little girls and stay with them. I am going to the battle site" Tsunade said and while waiting for an answer rushed towards the battle where Kirito and Orochimaru were fighting.
Shizune also nodded at this and started to locate where Ino and Haku were.
Kirito after teleporting outside the village, did not waste any more time and directly started making hand signs.
He is not used to hands-on because most of his jutsu is pretty much instant casting and activation.
Thanks to the momentary pause that both Orochimaru and Manda took to understand what was happening around them after getting teleported. Kirito easily completed the hand sigh and shouted.
"Summoning Jutsu" Kirito said and after taking out blood from his thump he slammed his hand on the ground.
"I should do a little more training with my hand signs," Kirito thought.
Kirito pushes a lot of chakra into his summoning. In front of Manda, there is only one toad summon that Kirito can think of who might give Manda a proper fight.
"Jiraiya, why did you summon me again" shouted a giant toad as soon as he appeared out of a huge cloud of smoke.
This toad was none other than the toad chief "Gamabunta".
Orochimaru and Manda did this and got ready to fight. "So this guy can summon Gamabunta hu" Orochimaru internally thought and the more he thinks about it the more he become interested in Kirito and wants his body for himself.
The first thing Gamabunta noticed was also Orochimaru and Manda were also there. He already knew that Jiraiya might have summoned him but later he became even more shocked after learning that the person who summoned him was Kirito and not Jiraiya.
He already heard about Kirito from Jiraiya and other toads of his clan. He knew that the boy looked exactly like the fourth Hokage and thus he was ready to help Kirito without making much fuss this time around unlike what he did earlier when he ended up fighting with the one tail with Kirito's brother, Naruto.
"Gamabunta Sama as you see, I could not help but summon you here. I am sorry for the sudden summon but I require your help please." Kirito said.
"Why do both of you brothers keep getting in trouble with troublesome opponents? Your brother takes a fight with one of the tail beasts and now you brat summon me again to fight Manda and this damn Orochimaru. And where is Jiraiya" shouted Gamabunta.
Gamabunta already knew that he had to help Kirito here but still made things difficult for him.
"Master Jiraiya is back in Konoha. I am currently on a mission and Orochimaru is creating trouble" Kirito too did not want to start chatting with the giant toad right now and only talk about the important issues.
But by this time, Manda was already on top of them. Seeing this Gamabunta had to jump high and avoid the attack.
Because Kirito was on his top. He too avoids the attack without any issues.
"Okay kid, for the time being, I will help you out" said Gamabunta after landing.
Kirito also signs in relief after hearing this. He already knew how troublesome this big and old toad could be.
"Maybe the fact that he is fighting with Orochimaru and Manda that he decided to help me so quickly," thought Kirito.
"Toad style, water bullet" Gamabunta shouted and a massive water ball came out of his mouth and went directly to Manda.
Manda was easily able to dodge this attack and rush towards Gamabunta. Snakes do not have much in terms of long-range attacks so he has to get closer to Gamabunta.
Gamabunta saw Manda coming towards him and took out his huge blade from his side and attacked Manda.
Manda was able to dodge that attack as well and their fight started.
Tsunade from a little far away saw Gamabunta and Manda fighting and increased her speed. She did not expect that Kirito was also a toad summoner.
This makes much more sense why Jiraiya let Kirito have to mission to bring her back.
Kirito at this time was somehow maintaining his balance on top of Gamabunta and was preparing his new jutsu.
"Gamabunta Sama, make some distance and attack with toad oil. I will add some fire. Let fry that snake" Kirito said, his calm damiere cracking and his excitement for this fight increasing.
Gamabunta also was ready to get some distance from Manda and directly jump back and sprew out massive amounts of toad oil towards Manda.
Kirito was already ready and to add a little bit more power, he also ended up adding nine tail chakra into the mix.
"Fire Style, Great Fire Ball Jutsu" muttered Kirito and added his fire with the toad oil.
What happened next was incredible even for someone like Kirito who is used to all kinds of VFX effects from movies from his previous life.
Chapter 99: Chapter 99 : Akira Vs Orochimaru 2 (Rewrite)
"Fire Style, Great Fire Ball Jutsu" muttered Kirito and added his fire with the toad oil.
What happened next was incredible even for someone like Kirito who is used to all kinds of VFX effects from movies from his previous life.
The entire area was set on fire and this fire was hotter than normal fire because the toad oil was mixed in it.
Tsunade saw this from her position and was impressed by Kirito's combined jutsu with Gamabunta.
But it was clearly not enough because Orochimaru and Manda both were able to dodge the attack by going underground.
Apparently, he has seen Jiraiya use this move way too many times to understand how to dodge this wide-area combined attack.
Kirito just clicks his tongue after Manda gets out from the ground with Orochimaru and Kabuto on his head.
"And I thought that we got them back then" Kirito displayed his annoyance and said.
Gamabunta also snorted and got ready for another attack.
"Cheif Toad, I have an attack which will work. Just give me some opening and also make sure that you can back off quickly after I launch the attack. This could be dangerous." Kirito said and jumped off Gamabunta's head.
The moment he touched the ground he started dashing towards Manda and started creating a Rasen Shuriken in his hand.
However, Manda did not notice this as his entire attention was on Gamabunta. Orochimaru and Kabuto did notice this and quickly got alert.
Gamabunta also did what Kirito said and attacked Manda to create an opening for Kirito.
"Water Style, Water Bomb" Gamabunta send multiple big water-style jutsu towards Manda and Manda one by one avoiding all of them.
But what he did not notice was that Kirito at this time just appeared on top of him and his hand was a full-fledged Rasen Shuriken.
Because of not having enough time, both Orochimaru and Kabuto did not care about Manda and directly Shun Shin away to dodge the attack.
Part of the reason they did not have time to tell Manda about the upcoming danger was because Kirito was incredibly fast.
Manda only saw the attack at the last moment and for a giant snake it was really impressive that he was able to move out of the way of its trajectory but Rasen Shuriken expands and so it did.
Manda was caught in a deadly rotating dome of wind.
"Well then, if he did not unsummon himself then we might get snake soup to eat later" Kirito joked and at this, even Gamabunta laughed. Although internally he was also surprised after seeing the terrifying attack that Kirito released at Manda.
"My instincts were not lying to me back then. That attack is really terrifying. Even more, than I thought it would be. This brat actually added chakra nature change in a Rasengan. He totally surpasses his father" That was what both Tsunade and Orochimaru were thinking after watching Kirito's attack.
"Brat, I will be going then as well. I hope that you can handle it from here on" Gamabunta said and went away with a puff of smoke.
"Well, I was not expecting him to fight Orochimaru for me anyways" Kirito shrugged and looked towards Orochimaru.
Orochimaru also noticed this and started to get weary of Kirito.
He wouldn't have thought about taking care of Kirito before losing his hands but currently, he lacks enough power to cast any meaningful jutsu which might damage Kirito and cope with his speed.
Once again the fight came down between Orochimaru and Kirito. Kirito might have let Orochimaru go before but now he really wanna fight him and thus he does not give too much time to Orochimaru after Gamabunta unsummons him.
He directly rushes towards Orochimaru with a normal Rasengan in his hand. He was already using his best speed so Orochimaru did not get out of this situation easily.
Unfortunately for Kirito, Orochimaru's substitution Jutsu was faster than him at this time and Orochimaru dodges the attack.
But by his face, it was not hard to tell that he is both amazed and terrified at how powerful and fast Kirito is.
Kirito whose Rasengan did not connect, aim his Rasengan towards Orochimaru and launches the rasengan as Boruto does in the anime.
Orochimaru out of all the things was not expecting this. Even Tsunade was a little Godsmack at how Kirito was able to throw his Rasengan towards his enemies.
"Why did Minato never do that" Tsunade questioned but there was no one to answer. Only Kirito knew.
The attack hit and Orochimaru for the first time after the match started got damaged.
Orochimaru had to shed his body to regenerate himself. This further causes his soul to be damaged. At least a little bit.
By this time, he already knew that he would not be able to complete his objective if Kirito was here.
He did not want to but unwillingly had to retreat.
"You are much more capable than I thought Kirito Kun. For the time being, I will accept your offer and let go. I am very interested in the information you gave me about the soul" Orochimaru said still in his calm voice but Kirito knew better.
Kirito could have pursued Orochimaru but if he is running then there are not many shinobi who can catch him.
"Forget it, I better focus on Tsunade and bring her back to the village." He said to himself.
"Tsunade Sama.I am sure that your teammate will not disturb us anymore. Let's continue our fight" He said cheekily.
Tsunade just looked at him with wide eyes and sighed.
"I better not anger him. This is more troublesome than it's worth. I better get some sake to drink" Tsunade muttered to herself.
Chapter 100: Chapter 100 : End Of Naruto (Rewrite)
By the sheer power of bothering others. Kirito was finally able to convince Tsunade to go back to the village.
Maybe his fight with Orochimaru also helped a lot depending on how powerful he was. If he wanted, he could have easily pushed her to come with him, but he kept bothering her.
"Honestly I would have preferred if he had fought me over the constant pestering which I have to go through for almost 2 and a half months," Tsunade thought while entering the village.
She finally returns to the village after many years and shows that the village has not changed that much.
However, she could see that repairs were still going on in the village, most probably because of Orochimaru's attack.
After entering the village, Kirito immediately escorted Tsunade to the elders. He honestly wanted to kill those elders as well because now when the Tsunade is back, the entire power system will be handled by her and there should not be any need for those elders.
"I will kill those elders but not right now. It's not like they are causing any problem so I better wait and act at the best time" Kirito thought.
He did not even enter the Hokage office, he directly pushed Tsunade inside the office and left to meet both his friends.
"Now when I think about it. I might have found Tsunade much faster than Naruto and Jiraiya but it took me much more time to bring Tsunade back to the village. It almost took 3 months of constant pestering to bring Tsunade back to the village. If only Naruto was with me then I might have done this task much faster." Kirito thought to himself and sighed.
When he arrived at his hidden training ground, he found only Karin there.
"Karin Chan, nice to meet you. Where is my brother" Kirito ask. He thought that Naruto would be training here.
"Ah, Kirito Kun you are finally back". Karin heard Kirito's voice and quickly rushed out of the house that Kirito had built there so he could stay in the hidden place for months if not years. And now this was also Karin's home.
She directly came out of the house and hugged Kirito. Kirito also gave back the hug and asked again.
"Where is Naruto".
Karin sees that Kirito is more interested in Naruto and pout.
"He left around 20 days ago because apparently someone from the village defected" Karin said having not much information about this.
Kirito's eyes widen. "Could this be, that this someone is Sasuke? Maybe I really did take too much time to bring Tsunade back:" He internally thought.
"Karin Chan, I am going for now. I need to find Naruto quickly and get information about what going on in the village" said Kirito and directly flashed from there without waiting for Karin's reply.
Karin seeing Kirito going with a flash, pouted again.
Kirito using the seal which he placed on Naruto directly appears near Naruto. Naruto at this time was in the Hospital.
"Whats going on here Naruto" Kirito asked after seeing his brother almost 3 months later.
Naruto after seeing Kirito so much time later got excited but again a grim smile plastered on his face.
"What happened when I was gone Naruto" Kirito ask again.
This lead to Naruto telling Kirito the entire thing about how Sasuke defected from the village and he with Shikamaru and other went after him. But unlike in the anime, could not stop him.
Because Kirito already knew that plot, he was not surprised nor he intended to learn more about Sasuke's defection.
He really did not care about that. He tried his best to save Sasuke from joining Orochimaru but he ran to him nonetheless. So he just does not care about it anymore.
From this point onwards the time went on just like how it did in the anime.
After Tsunade became the Hokage, many reforms came to the village.
This was also the time when Kirito asked Tsunade to take Karin to the village and give her citizenship.
Seeing Karin being a Uzumaki, Tsunade agreed without many issues.
Then comes the problem with Kirito's and Naruto's inheritance from their parents.
This brought the issue back to the elders who had to agree with Tsunade that they ended up using the money for the village purpose but Kirito knew that that was only a half-truth.
They definitely, took a part of the money for themselves. But he did not say anything. It's not like he lacks the money. Not to mention, Tsunade confirmed to him that besides the money, everything else would be given to him and his brother soon. And that includes his parent's house.
When it comes to money. Well, the village was not doing great after Orochimaru's attack so Kirito did not push too much.
Another difference from the canon, Kirito found in this world was that there were no more missions after Sasuke defected from the village.
Jiraiya directly proposes to take out both Naruto and Kirito for a 2 years training. But Kirito had another plan altogether.
"What do you mean, you don't want to go" Jiraiya asked.
"I am not saying that I don't want to travel but I want to travel on my own. Don't think that I don't know why you are taking out Naruto. It's because of those people who attacked the village right?"
You don't need me with you on this journey. And honestly, I believe that I lack not power but experience which I will only get after travelling the world alone for a while.
It's not like anyone knows that I too am a Jinchuriki.
So while you take Naruto to train. I will travel on my own for the next two years." Kirito said.
"We can't let you alone there kid," Jiraiya said some concern was already in his eyes.
"Why, I am already strong enough and if something bad happens, I don't think that there is anyone who can stop me from getting out from there," Kirito said.
Tsunade and Jiraiya both knew what Kirito was talking about. With the Hiraishin technique, there are really not many people who might be able to hold Kirito back.
But that does not mean that they will let Kirito go on his own.
But Kirito was apparent about travelling alone. This particular talk went on for a long time and finally, after much discussion, they allowed Kirito to travel.
In the Hokage office, there was only Kirito, Jiraiya and Tsunade. This discussion almost took 4 hours to come to a conclusion.
In the end, Kirito was given permission to travel alone. Naruto decided to travel with Jiraiya so Jiraiya not only trains him but also protects him from the Akatsuki.
Jiraiya was not happy with this decision because he wanted to train Kirito the most after seeing how talented he was but Kirito was apparent about travelling alone.
When Naruto learned about this, Naruto also protested. This put Kirito into another long conversation with Naruto. It almost took 3 hours and 20 Ramen to convince Naruto.
Haku, Ino and Karin were another issue altogether.
It took much more effort on Kirito's part but finally, he was ready to go on his own journey in this world alone.
He left at the same time as Jiraiya and Naruto were leaving for their training trip.
"Make sure that you come back as soon as possible," Karin said to Kirito.
"I will be waiting for you Kirito Kun" Haku said.
Ino did not say anything but directly hug Kirito. She wanted to kiss him but did not have enough courage still now.
"I will be back before you know it," Kirito said and smiled.
"Hey, I am also going you know. Tell me bye as well" Naruto complained from the side and Jiraiya patted Naruto's shoulder with a knowing smile on his face.
Like he was telling Naruto "I can understand your pain Naruto".
While walking away from the village Jiraiya was the first one to talk.
"So where are you going exactly" Jiraiya in curiosity, after knowing how apparent Kirito was going on a travel alone.
"I am going to the ruins of the Uzu." Said Kirito with a glint of light in his eyes.
Jiraiya was surprised about this. But did not ask more.
But Kirito had a reason to visit there.
"If I am not wrong then Minato found something there which he did not tell about to anyone else," Kirito thought to himself.
