42 Konoha vs Yurei of the blue fire, the battle of monsters (Parte finale)

"The Guardian," the old toad said, "holds the key to the world.

He will be the guardian who protects the child of prophecy and his black hair companion

To spun strings of change or to let go, it's all in his hands.

To prosper or to ruin, it's all in his words."

Jirya: "Wait, how am I going to find this guardian"

"Numerous dragons made entirely of flames; will be at his command, He will be the one who will form the bonds that will be used for creating the peace by the child of prophecy"

----------------------

Hokage after the debriefing: "Well done, you have done some good work, go and get some rest you deserve it"

Renji smiled at that and sit on the chair, "Hey old man mind telling me why did you send Kushina on this mission"

"I thought she would be useful, that's all"

"Right, Right hey old man wanna hear a joke?"

"Sigh, what is it make it fast"

"Hahaha, I thought so old man....then here is my joke, tell me, what is the copy of Uzumaki forbidden scroll doing here"

Hokage narrowed his eyes at that

Renji smile widened as he continues, "Your stupid stupid old people never understand, ah, right I should call him Danzo, well, next time you give work to Danzo tell him to make sure to check out for the countless seals I put inside the scroll, whether it's Kushina or anyone else I always gets to know it

"Hahaha, isn't that funny"

"Renji you can't take on the entire village yourself"

"I won't know if i won't try"

"You don't have anywhere else to go, your sister kushina and your wife mikoto alongside your future children th-"

"Don't talk about them so lightly, when it was you who put them in danger, tell me old man isn't a team of anbus heading towards a helpless pregnant woman, who they can't defeat if she was in perfect health"

"Sigh, are you going to destroy the village in your rage, sakumo told me you carry his will of fire, his legacy are you going to let it go just like that"

"Do you know he once asked me a question, He asked, what does it mean to be a ninja for me?"

ninjas are killers and thieves," my answer was blunt, the Hokage's face betrayed a look of disappointment, "but," I continued, "that's not the kind of ninja I want to be. For me, a ninja is someone with the power to change the world, be it with a murder or with an idea. A ninja can be a hero to one person and the devil to another.

"But the kind of ninja I want to be is someone who can make this world less horrible, the kind who can protect the people he cares about and make the world a peaceful place."

"To be able to do that one would suffer a great deal of pain," the old man Hokage countered.

"And? I may not have a future, but if my actions can save or change the life of kushina, then why shouldn't I at least try? Why shouldn't I try and make this world a better place to live in for her?"

"You can't make the world a peaceful place Renji," the man spoke softly, "it's a dangerous place that will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. Trying to create peace in such a world...it's impossible."

Renji had but two words for the man, "watch me."

He raised a single eyebrow and met Renji gaze. Both looked at each other for a moment before he smiled, "tell me Renji, if you had to kill your best friend in order to ensure peace reigned forever, would you do it?"

"Peace gained through killing is not a peace that will last," Renji told him.

"So that's a no?"

He nodded, "yes, if I had to betray Fugaku or put him into prison to ensure peace, then I would do it, no questions asked, but if the only way the world will be happy is if I killed my best friend...then the world isn't ready for peace."

Hokage smiled: "I am glad sakumo prepared a successor just like him, an idealist"

Renji smiled too: "Why did you put her in danger old man"

"It's my job renji, i am the leader of a village and i can't have an uncertainty in my village not to mention i had 2 of them"

"I once swore that i won't have any harm come to her"

"That's what makes you a brother, and what i did makes me a leader"

"It seems we have nothing to talk, goodbye old man"

Hokage smiled, "I am not that easy to kill, not in my village, with my people all over"

Renji smiled too, "We shall see"

Hokage jumped out of the window with a jump from his seat, as Renji jumped through the table and out of the window as well

Renji threw an explosive kunai at hokage with renji and hokage still in the air

BOOOOOOMMMMM

But Hokage seems unaffected by the explosion as he threw his own kunai at the explosive kunai (he threw simple kunai to explosive kunai, making it explode midway)

The Hokage had not become known as the 'The Professor' simply by knowing a lot of jutsu. His keen intellect and ability to make rapid decisions was one of his greatest weapons. He believed this though he would also admit his high chakra reserves, skill in taijutsu, ninjutsu, fuinjutsu, and bukijutsu certainly didn't hurt. And now he was using that decision-making ability to formulate plans

As soon as they landed on the roof of a building, a massive wave of killing intent roared out from the Hokage and Renji almost simultaneously. As the Sandaime blazed forward with a speed that could barely be followed. He struck with a merciless palm strike to the stomach, Renji blocked the attack and countered with a punch which got countered with a palm strike as well causing both of them to slide back, as Renji threw a kunai with an explosive tag, Hokage wanted to deflect it, but renji moved his little finger causing the kunai to circle around, it was invisible chakra threads wired to kunai, as the kunai binded Hokage it blasted

BOOOOMMM

Hokage jumped out from the dust cloud, He threw a single shuriken and instantly used Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique). That single shuriken multiplied into a thousand and rained down on the Renji

Renji jumped from the building roof and used a wired kunai towards another building as he pulls himself there; while standing on the side of the building

[maybe this will help you, he used spider web]

*Badump*

Renji without even seeing what it is; backflipped towards the rooftop of the building as a single bug came where he was

The bug continued to breed in a terrifying speed as the entire building was covered in bugs, in less than 5 seconds

As soon as Renji managed to backflipped towards the rooftop, the entire building was being covered entirely in bugs, he tried to jump but the air was being covered in bugs as well, there was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, aburame's bug jutsu sure is terrifying

Renji opened his right palm as a seal appeared on it magically "Fuinjutsu Art: Lightning seal: Threat eradication barrier", was the last thing he muttered before being swallowed by the bugs

He jumped out of the bugs with a barrier all around him, as he was making a single hand sign

"Scorch style: Great fireball jutsu"

As the fireball made its way towards the aburame head, there was nothing he could do, but-

"Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven"

Hyuuga head comes in time as he saved the aburame

"Water style: Water bullet jutsu"

A water bullet made it's way towards Renji from below him as he was still in the air

"Tch", He clicked his tongue as he threw his kunai towards another building as he pull himself sticking on the side of the wall

As soon as he landed on the building wall, he heard a yell

Fire style: Fire dragon

Wind style: Great Breakthrough

A fire dragon enhanced in speed and hotness by great breakthrough came towards him, as he continues to take steps back in extremely practiced motions; when he reached the end of the wall he jumped into the air

"Fuinjutsu Art: Lightning seal: Threat eradication barrier"

As soon as the fire dragon dissipated, he was hit with another sense

"Man-Beast Taijutsu: Fang Over Fang"

He couldn't react on time as the Four rotation figure of Inuzuka Head tsume, continue to hit him and in the end, throw him into the ground creating a large crater

Tsume: "Did we get him, with that"

Hokage shook his head: "If he was that weak, he wouldn't be an SS-rank threat"

Like hearing Hokage, huge seal appear where everyone was standing

BOOOMMMM

Everyone narrowly manages to dodge the blast, as in the middle of the dust cloud was standing Renji with his full body being covered in fire

---------------------------

"can you stop that fire", asked the person hidden in the alley, that person was Shikaku Nara the recently promoted low Jonin

"Yes no matter how high his mental defenses are, if it's to stop that fire I can do that, but remember he is a natural born sensor, the moment I do something like that he will feel our location", said another recently promoted low Jonin Inoichi Yamanaka

"Then do that", came the voice from behind them the voice of a female Sannin Tsunade Senju

The 3 Sannins made their appearance

---------------------------

Renji is there standing in front of them, with a smile on his face. Shikaku and his team use the fact they were hidden, and in between of so many opponents until unless they don't make a move they won't be discovered, and they did make a move

Inoichi and Choza try to get him, Shikaku was able to capture the red hair with his shadow.

"Mind Transfer Jutsu", came the yell as the red hair Uzumaki was captured and the flames die

"ROOAAAAARRRRRR", comes the immediate roar of Matatabi

Inoichi screams in agony, and Inochi can't stop it. He can't do anything but scream. The Roar attacks his mind viciously and without restraint.

"Inoichi! Listen to me! You need to leave! If you leave the pain will stop! It won't follow you!" he finally listens to Renji, after who knows how much damage has been dealt.

Inoichi returns to his own body, and Renji gains full control of body again.

Fuinjutsu Art: "Achirakochira"

A seal appeared on Renji's palm, as from a poof!! of smoke the explosive kunai automatically flew straight towards Shikaku forcing him to release his shadow release to be able to dodge the kunai's explosion

Renji looks at the sky, and it was Tsunade Senju with a chakra charge fist ready to punch him.

'Good Job, old man for thinking so far', Renji Thought, as another seal appeared on his hand

"Fuinjutsu Art: Tagaidō" (Mutual Path) (It's S rank barrier Fuinjutsu, it can be formed in 1 second with the only downside that it can only be maintained for 3 seconds)

The Mutual Path allows Renji to create a defined area in which anything used against him is reflected upon its source without him suffering its damage or effects. This serves as a way of both, self-defense and counter-attack.

BOOOOOMMMMM

A Heavy fist landed on the barrier in less than 2 seconds

"GAAAAAA", The barrier Reflected the damage back to Tsunade as she felt the blow of her own great strength

"FANG OVER FANG"!! Tsume yelled.

Hokage yelled, "FIRE STYLE: FIRE PHOENIX JUTSU"!! Tsume and her partner went first, then the balls of fire came aiming at the Uzumaki. But Renji avoided it. First, he went inside of Tsume's Jutsu and hit her, and her alpha canine companion severally. And send a kunai with Chakra aiming for the Old man

Renji was in the air, but some bugs were at the place, he was about to land, but The Red hair did the Tiger Seal, and did the Fire Release Jutsu at the bugs which there was Shibi Abarume among them. "AGH!" Shibi Yelled, he was burning.

But the weird thing is Shibi was not dead but with seals on his arms

'Rest my friend, you have done enough', think Renji while waiting for them to make their move

An Anbu came beside Hokage

"Where is Root shinobis", asked the Hokage

"I am sorry Lord Hokage, but they have been unconscious, we can't awake them"

"Tch, what about ANBU'S of headquarters, why are they still not here"

"They have been unconscious as well"

"Grr.....what about Mikoto, she is pregnant don't tell me you guys still couldn't get her"

"I-I am sorry, we couldn't"

"What about Minato and Kushina", Hokage was getting irritated they are losing and the opponent didn't even use his most famous and signature technique

"There was a seal on the house we can't make it in such a short time, please give us more time for breaking in"

">.<"

---------------

A 20-year, young Uchiha successor was standing in between the fallen bodies of ANBU'S, while he watches the sleeping beauty Mikoto Uchiha

The boy was the 'Wicked Eye Fugaku' as he kept the watch for the love of his best friend he cares and respects deeply, while Renji and Fugaku might not be on the same team but they are best friends, as Renji was the only one, other than an Uchiha who understand his pride, not even his teammates Kushina and Minato or their sensei Jiraya understand the huge pride he carries
