18 Vs Madara (Part-2)
The sky above was dark, clouds hanging close to the ground in a continually successful effort to lighten their load upon the vividly green forest.
The chilly raindrops are unrelenting in their descent from the gray puffiness that loomed overhead; making light pattering noises, like a symphony of splashes that echoed so clearly in what could have been an otherwise silent forest.
The wind blew through the trees; lifting the lighter branches and making them dance an incredibly entrancing dance. Leaves furled and crinkled, adding to the cacophonous noise that ensconced the wooded area.
The mist was beginning to cling closely to the earth creating an eerie appearance of mystique and forewarning.
This kind of weather was always his favorite.
It was during this weather that he met the love of his life. Nozomi.
Hatake Sakumo was Leaning onto the wall on his back, Putting the pressure along with Herbal Medicine with Green Glowing Hand on his wound.
'Who was that Masked Man', Thought Sakumo, During the battle, He was able to hurt the man enough to see the fraction of that face that is full of wrinkles. It was clearly an Old man who was not in Prime Anymore.
But that was it. The Old man was so powerful, that he practically overwhelm Sakumo without taking single damage.
And It was only because Sakumo was skilled enough. That he was able to run away.
He has been running for 2 months Now. And no matter, how much he hides, the Orange masked man always finds him thorough some means.
For two months Sakumo was on the desperate run, He knows that the Mask man will find him everywhere, So, he chose his resting place, a sense of relief washing over him when he finally reached the Dead Hidden Village of Whirlpool after two months.
Uzushiogakure. The home of Uzumaki's. The greatest seal masters that ever walked on earth.
And the place where he first met her. Fell in love. Married her, made love for the first time, and had Yasaki.
His body was betraying him, becoming excessively weak and unforgiving. He is dying from the Injuries he has. But he was not sad, He already made it to their first home. Sakumo closed his eyes, waiting for his death, and his eyes teared a little when he thought of his two sons.
They will be devastated by hearing the news of his death.
Especially Yasaki. That boy was always waiting for him in the past. Sakumo was sure that even now he must be waiting for him. If only he has a choice.
"TOU SAN"
"SAKUMO SAN"
!!!!
'Yasaki, Minato?'
"TOU SAN"
"SAKUMO SAN WHERE ARE YOU"
Sakumo gritted his teeth was about to yell back.
"Found you"
!!!!
Sakumo jumped back, throwing the Medical Leaves away. As with a poof..!! of smoke, a short sword appeared on his hand.
"You are injured already, You couldn't beat me back then, You can't beat me now", said the Masked man as he took steps toward Sakumo. As Sakumo took a stance.
His final stance.
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM YOU FREAK"
Both Sakumo and Masked Madara looked at the side, A Black Sword, Covered in Lightning was coming towards them, enhanced with the piercing ability of lightning at a speed that surpasses the space-time itself to increase the impact force. It is guaranteed that if this blade hit there would be nothing left, not even the ashes.
Booommmm
A terrifying roar came out destroying each and everything in the entire area; if anyone comes here now they would never be able to tell how it was before; Since the entire area has been gone leaving only cracked earth.
Some far away, With the Yellow flash, Minato came holding Sakumo.
"Sakumo san, are you alright?", Asked Minato
Sakumo nodded
They looked to the side, with Yasaki coming towards them holding his black sword in his hand.
"Tou san", He muttered
Sakumo looked at the area in front of him, "You are always destroying everything, Are you a Barbarian or something"
Minato chuckled
"Do you think it's actually the time to lecture me on this?", Yasaki mouth twitched with Annoyance
Sakumo nodded seriously
"Tou san"
"Pffttt"
Minato laughed
"..."
"..."
"Why are you laughing?", Sakumo asked
"Yes, I would like to know it as well"
"Uh... well, this actually Haha Hahahahaha
Minato blushed and laughed
"..."
"Forget it, you guys shouldn't have come, Now you are on his radar as well"
"Sakumo san tha--"
"Do you know Kaa san taught me a word before she died... Ohana"
"..."
"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten"
"..."
"She also said I am cute and fluffy whenever I say Ohana..!! I never understood why though"
Sakumo chuckled, and caressed his cheeks, "She always taught you weird words. And I agree, You are cute"
"..."
"Tou san"
"Yes?"
"I am not cute, I am fatally attractive"
"..."
Minato chuckled
"Who taught you that?"
"He did", Yasaki pointed to Minato
"..."
"Hey, I mean, I thought it would do good to you if you know some flirting techniques"
Sakumo frowned, "You are teaching my son how to flirt? At the age of 11?"
"I--- He is married, Regardless of his age"
"..."
Minato smiled nervously, "Let's get out of here already"
"We are not going anywhere, That masked man will come to us. No matter where we go. It's better to fight him here"
"What are you talking about Sakumo san? He took a direct hit. I am sure--"
"If an attack of that level actually manage to hit him, I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place"
"So, He is still alright?", asked Yasaki
"Yes. I don't think, He even took damage from that attack"
"Very Good", They heard the noise as they looked to the side, to see the orange masked man coming out that dust cloud, Entirely Unharmed.
!!!!
They all took their stances
"Congratulations on your wedding by the way"
"..."
"Thank you"
"I am sure she won't mind being a widow at the age of 11"
"..."
"She is 12 actually"
"Ah", He folded his arms, as blue chakra covered him from head to toe
!!!!
The Ground on which he was standing began to crack by the sheer pressure of his Chakra itself...
Yasaki Minato and Sakumo began to sweat, from the sheer pressure on them
"How did you manage to piss that guy off", Minato asked taking his Kunai out
"He is the one that started the third war"
!!!!
"What", Both Minato and Yasaki were shocked by this revelation
"I hope you guys are ready to die", The Orange masked man said as he charged at them
"Flying Thunder God: Harmonic Symphony: Phase One"
Minato launches numerous Flying Thunder God Kunai. Prior to him doing that, He performs the hand seals necessary to perform his Jutsu as he throws his kunai, using the Wind Jutsu to create the Invisible Blades as they travel towards their target
"Rasengan", Minato thrust his arm forward, and disappear from the sight, and appearing at the back of Masked man, The attack was already done before he actually teleported, There was no chance to dodge it
!!!
He was shocked when his opponent caught his wrist and kicked him to the wall near him.
Minato flashed before he hit the wall to protect himself.
He flashed near Sakumo and Yasaki, while blood leaking from his mouth
"Speed does not work against him", said Sakumo
"But How?"
"All your techniques in front of me are mere tricks"
"Then Let's go pure Destruction instead", Yasaki said as he closed his eyes and a huge amount of Lightning surged through him and his Blade, out of nowhere.
Chi Chi Chi
In a mere second, Yasaki becomes the physical embodiment of a Thunder, his body becoming unrecognizable as he is engulfed in Lightning. Light and Plasma are drawn to his body at an alarming rate, increasing the strength of the electrical field around his body.
The electrical activity in the brain increases several times over. And his eyes begin to glow slightly, but more importantly, time seems to slow for him.
In this form, his mind is much like a supercomputer, able to process information through each and every one of his working senses almost immediately.
Yasaki raised his sword to his chest and held it sideways for a mere second, as Lightning around him crackled more and more fiercely, and behind him, a huge Image of a dog made by Pure Blue Lightning appeared.
*Rumble*Rumble
"Field of Raiju"
The Skies rumbled, as Yasaki swing his sword Sideways, The Image of the Huge Dog disappeared, and Tearing the ground, the lightning bolts charged forward.
"Naidō Waza: Kyōmu"
The Lightning field disappeared without a single spark left
"..."
He breaks into Lightning as he disappeared. And appear in front of him, stabbing his face.
"Wind Release: Reflect armor"
The Stab was just an Inch in front of him. yet, it refused to move. Before he was thrown back by the pressure of the winds.
Minato flashed at the side, Attacking with his Rasengan once again, But his attack hit nothing before he was about to be kicked, Minato flashed dodging the attack
"Rasengan"
!!!!
Rasengan was slammed on Madara's back before he went flying and slammed onto the rock
But a hand came tearing the ground and caught hold of Minato's neck, before putting the Explosion tag on his chest and throwing him to the side.
A huge white aura shot towards the heaven, As Great Hatake Sakumo entered the battled
Madara looked at the side
"Tanshoku Ansanburu"
Sakumo thrusts his short sword into the ground, channeling white chakra into his sword, before triggering a multitude of white lines near Madara to expand skywards.
!!!!
The Masked man thrust up along with the White lines, likely to be burned and incapacitated, or sustaining severe shock damage.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu"
"..."
A voice came from Behind Sakumo
As he was engulfed in the Great flames of the fireball
The attack went through and past him, As the ethereal figure of Sakumo disappeared
"Tanshoku Hanketsu"
The Masked man looked up, Sakumo covered in white chakra all over was falling on him
Focusing on surging chakra into the tip of his short sword, a powerful beam is fallen on the Masked man to pierce through, and due to its high velocity, Obliterating the entire area.
Booommmm
"Fire Style: Maleficent Dragon Demolition"
!!!!
The Masked man breaths out an enormous amount of fire that takes the form of an absolutely massive scorching fire dragon. Engulfing everything in the area, Unearthing even the land. Leaving no room to dodge the attack.
The attack went through Sakumo once more, as he appeared and jump several steps back.
But the Masked Madara wasn't done yet, The dragon flew high into the sky and quickly slams down on the surface, creating a massive fiery explosion upon impact. Destroying earth and heaven, Leaving no chance to dodge it
Minato flashed near Sakumo and they both flashed. Dodging the unearthly attack.
"Sword Spikes", came the voice behind him
Madara Couldn't even turn back, before he was impaled from nowhere, from within the body, as numerous swords suddenly stick out of him to be disposed of in a quick and effective fashion. As Madara falls, he disappeared with the cloud of white smoke.
"Impressive Jutsu. But It's over", came the voice behind Yasaki
Madara swings his fire infused punch at Yasaki from the side.
"..."
The Attack went through and past Yasaki, as he was behind Madara stabbing his head with the lightning infused sword
Madara ducked and swept Yasaki's leg, But Yasaki does a spinning side flip jump.
He spun anti-clockwise
"God Slash"
And deliver a powerful slash with his lightning infused sword.
"Wind Release: Reflect armor"
This time slash was strong enough to easily cut through the Wind armor, as well as the bones and it's fast enough that it can barely be seen.
Madara lost his arm just like that, As it flew in the sky along with the blood... and a shockwave follows the swing because Yasaki swings his sword hard enough to create shockwaves. Forcing Madara to jump back.
With a Golden Flash, Minato came along with Sakumo, entirely unharmed
Yasaki chuckled, "Finally some damage"
!!!!
The Arm that was cut turned into a huge tree.
"The first Hokage?", Sakumo muttered, as everyone looked at the Mask man with great interest now
"You cut through the winds. That was an impressive feat of strength, and also", said the masked man
"..."
"I guess the sword that you possess must be a treasure that could cut through elements. But, know that you didn't manage to harm me because of your skills, It was because of that treasure sword that you managed to catch me off guard. If I was in my prime, or If I had my eyes, you wouldn't be able to even touch me"
"You are blind?", asked Minato
"Yes, also... I can regenerate"
!!!!
An arm regenerated on his body. As the masked man, Madara gave a huge shockwave from his Chakra release
"Monster", Yasaki asked shivering and in despair as he took several steps back
"First Hokage had the power to regenerate. That made it impossible to kill or hurt him, Except Madara, no one had enough power to do that. Let's just get outta here, I don't think we can beat this guy anymore", Said Minato
"Order of space" A huge ripple traveled through the area, and Minato's Flying Thunder God was rendered Ineffective
!!!!
"What happened?", asked Sakumo
"He blocked the space somehow", answered Minato
"I don't have my eyes, Nor do I have my Prime anymore, along with my original Abilities, But, I am still not someone, You Kids could beat just by ganging on me"
*Gulp
The three took a step back
"It's time, You three are done", The Masked Madara said as he walked towards them
"Yasaki, create a distraction, take notice if he went underground. Minato unlock the space as soon as possible"
"Yes/Yes"
Yasaki closed his eyes and Lightning emerged from him once more.
"Wave of Origin"
Yasaki swings his sword sideways, releasing a destructive wave of Blue lightning.
Chi Chi Chi
The lightning arcs out, slicing through all matter in its path before making contact with the ground
BBBOOOMMM
The Lightning explodes, devastating all within the explosion's area of effect in powerful combustion of chakra and a blinding Blue veil of light.
Creating a Dust cloud covering them up.
Madara made a hand sign and disappeared from his position
"Field of Raiju"
He swings his sword diagonally upwards. And tearing the ground Lightning bolts came out charging forward, forcing Madara to jump in the air as well
"Tamashī no Shirosa", Sakumo yelled
As he thrust his arm forward and fires a Huge wave capable of decimating all matter caught within its broad trajectory path. The light emitted by the wave is equivalent in terms of brightness to a flash bomb
"NOW"
"Raijū", Yasaki swings his sword down from above his head
BOOOMMMM
A single Bolt of Lightning fell from the sky, Falling right into the wave. Destroying everything one could see. Everything got destroyed in that collaboration attack, Including the Buildings, Half of the Uzushio Island, Everything.
Nothing remained after this. It was as devastating as it could get.
"Impressive"
!!!!!
Came the voice from within the Dust cloud
Making Minato, Yasaki, and Sakumo Shiver
"Minato, anytime", Sakumo said with sweat running on his forehead, They are going to die at this rate
"I am done", Minato yelled, and with that, all three disappeared
Hurt and bloodied Madara came out from the Dust cloud...
"You are not going to follow them?", asked a white Zetsu that came out from the ground
"No, I am hurt for real this time, If only I was younger, or had my eyes. They wouldn't stand a chance. Let alone manage to hit me", said Hurt Madara as he was healing to Naked eyes.
White Zetsu grinned
"Let's go back, Push the plan forward, It's time you contact the holder of my eyes, Nagato. Also, keep an eye on those three, if they spill our secret, we will get our eyes back temporary and destroy those of Konoha"
Madara was fully healed at this point.
XXXXXXX
(Forest of Death)
Hurt and tired Sakumo, Minato, and Yasaki came with a golden flash
Minato looked angry, "We need to tell Hokage sama abou--
"We are not going to tell anyone about this", said Sakumo
"But Sakumo san"
"He has taken great caution to hide his identity, We are only safe till we keep his secret with us, He will come after us if we spill it, we don't stand a chance against him now"
"But if we wait, won't he be able to you know-- become stronger? Or complete his plan, whatever it might be?"
"We will get stronger as well. As for whatever plan he is cooking, we will have to blindly counter it. Until unless we have the power to fight him on equal grounds, Don't aggregate him heedlessly"
"..."
"I don't like this as much as you do, but this is our only chance, Minato I want a verbal agreement"
"I understand. We need to get stronger first"
"Yasaki?"
Yasaki frowned, "He utterly destroyed us, despite him being blind and old"
"..."
"Whoever that old man was. I swear. I will defeat him by my hands"
