Chapter 33

'It's time' I thought as I was leaving my meditative state

The sun's first lights were almost visible on the horizon, a perfect time to strike them by surprise.

'And I can test my new babies' I thought again as I looked at the strange seeds in my pouch

They were weirdly bulging as if they were full of life while their size was unusually growing and shrinking.

It was the result of years of researches with the help of Orochimaru... Only usable by me.

'I need to fight the Raikage without getting disturbed by anyone else'

I know how fast, strong, and resilient the Third Raikage is... I had an advantage against the Mizukage because I knew how to counter his mist and how his different Ninjutsu worked thanks to my previous life.

But the Raikage? He's capable of fighting for days, and his body is tough enough to barely get hurt by Wind Release, which is the deadliest of the five natural elements.

I should be able to win a fight of stamina against him but I don't know if I can be fast enough to beat him or tire him out.

The seeds would take care of the nuisance while I will face the Raikage.

I left the island and the trapped sea from underwater, following the right path or else I would be done for.

I sensed some of them patrolling at the border of the Land of Fire up to the Land of Hot Water as well as some boats that patrolled the other side of the sea where not a single land was on sight.

Once in the cleared sea, Shiromari transformed from my bracer into a fish and moved toward the nearest boat, ready for an assault the moment he receives my signal as he would be the one taking care of them.

I couldn't be detected from outside of the water so I followed the coast and dispatched the seeds I kept in my pouch on the shore.

Each of the seeds burrowed themselves the moment they touched the soil, while I continued to send them while carefully sensing Kumo to not be detected.

I then moved toward their main camp where the Raikage along with around five hundred shinobi were settled.

'Less shinobi than Kiri are grouped but that's to be expected when they are guaranteeing that no one can leave Uzushiogakure across the lands and the sea'

The seeds that burrowed themselves now slowly moved toward the camp from beneath the surface as it was a bit further in the land.

My eyes closed, I knew where they currently were because of the link I have with them and started a countdown the moment they reached a proper location.

'1...2...3...Wood Release: Living Monstrosity' I mentally said, making the ground crack open wherever the seeds stayed.

"We are under attack!" one of Kumo's shinobi said while all of them that were still asleep left their tents in panic

"What in damnation are those?!" another shinobi yelled when multiples figures around five meters (~16 feet) tall emerged from the surface

I saw the Raikage leaving his resting place and ordered "Do not get scared! Prepare yourself to kill those things the moment you can!"

But it was too late... What I had created was akin to Triffids but designed by my hands.

They had four giant green vines appendages full of small glands that produced an extremely sticky substance allowing motion on every surface.

They were extremely thick and could move the whole creature with fast movements as well as crush humans with ease.

What was supported by the vines was the base, a giant yellow pitcher filled with digestive acid capable of melting whatever gets trapped inside.

A red sharp ribs exoskeleton surrounded the pitcher making contact dangerous if not careful.

From there was the trunk, a tube-looking veiny receptacle was growing upward separated by a red rafflesia collar with unnoticeable holes that could release paralyzing pollen.

Many smaller vines could be generated from below the collar to either grab victims or slap them to death.

The last thing that made it beautiful was the head that consisted of a tulip... If you don't take into account the series of teeth that surround the 'buccal' cavity.

And in the middle of what's akin to the mouth was a long and retractable sting that ended with a mouth-like appendage with sharp teeth capable of piercing and shredding whatever meets it.

[How a Triffid looks like normally]

The 'skin' was made thick enough to resist fire, water, or lightning.

It couldn't be crushed easily with earth or cut by wind but was weak to powerful piercing attacks.

For now, I let my new babies wreak havoc everywhere, enjoying the sight.

Many lightning bolts were aimed at the Triffids making an explosion at contact while smoke raised around it.

They thought that they took it down but suddenly a few shinobi got crushed by one of the powerful leg vines, making blood and dirt scatter everywhere.

They then tried to launch Shuriken or Kunai at the creature but only for it to be bounced back.

Some desperately tried to approach the creature but were sent away by one of the smaller vines.

The Raikage noticing that his subordinates couldn't do anything against them and some even got crushed or pierced to death, rushed toward one of the creatures, coated his fingers with Lightning Chakra, and performed his famous Hell Stab at the monster.

He didn't need the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to dodge every vine that the Triffid used to stop his course and successfully pierced it at the top of the pitcher.

Green blood gushed out from where he wounded the creature and when it had contact with his arm that was not covered by chakra he realized that his skin began to be redder and bloated dangerously.

Not wasting any time, he cut off his skin with such accuracy that his arm was now safe from the toxic blood without any negative repercussion.

Still confronting the Triffid, he was surprised when the sting quickly moved to stab him and was able to fall back while the creature screamed because of the wound.

As he was now at a safe distance he ordered "Do not approach the creature rashly! Only use Techniques with strong piercing or cutting power! Those who can't, try to hinder its movements!" as he understood one of the weakness quickly

'I can't let the Raikage take care of all of them' I thought before sending a Kunai at him skipping through many Kumo shinobi, before teleporting in front of him

I tried to stab him using the condensed chakra from the meteorite but his reaction time was insanely fast as he dodged by barely moving his body.

"Who are you?!" he yelled as he took an offensive stance

"Yuichi Senju. But I should be asking what do you think you are doing in the Land of Fire and even more, assaulting an allied village of Konoha!" I replied as I was slowly turning myself to face him

"I don't need to answer someone who won't leave this place alive." he declared, suddenly activating the 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode' and vanishing from my sight

'Fast!' I thought as I barely blocked his stab but was send meters away

'Thank God for Crystal Release'

I covered the place he stabbed with it but he was capable of breaking it and slightly peel my skin behind.

But I didn't have a chance to recover as I had to evade his charge once again.

He rushed at me and crouched to hit my guts, but I vanished from his sigh landing on top of a tree as it was my only option to not get hit.

'I am slower than him and his reaction time is fast enough to not get surprised by the 'Flying Thunder God Technique''

"Are you trying to buy yourself time, kid?" I heard him say as he tried to locate me

Not answering, I pressed my finger on my stomach and mentally said 'Eight Gates: Gate of View' making my surroundings tremble and the tree crumble at the power emanating from my body.

He located me and kicked the ground to reach me but this time I was fast enough to duck to the side, coated my hand with Wind Release before jabbing him at his flank.

But my hand deviated the moment it had contact with his chakra cloak surprising me.

He took advantage of that by kicking me out of his way but with my enhanced abilities, I was able to move out of his leg.

I then launched several stabs while precisely aiming for his joints but every single one of my attacks got deflected or he simply dodged them by tilting his body a little.

When it was his turn to charge at me, I teleported right behind and instantly made a Chidori attempting to hurt him but he was still fast enough to dodge it.

"It's no use kid, nothing can affect me!" he proudly declared while chuckling

'His speed and defense are unrivaled for sure'

As expected of the greatest Raikage ever, not even Flying Thunder God helps me offensively... The difference between his son and him at his peak is phenomenal.

As both of us were ready for another exchange we heard a loud *BOOM* coming from the sea.

I smirked when I saw the Raikage look at it because I knew it was Shiromari who took down one of the nearest boats.

"It's not me who is running out of time." I said as his subordinates got decimated by Shiromari in the sea

And many screams of horror could be heard around us because no one but the Raikage could take care of the Triffids that slaughtered everyone.

He thought that they could take care of the creatures now that he knew how to injure them, but when they started releasing paralyzing pollen and spit digestive acid from afar, they had no chance to take them out.

Both of us smelled the strong odor of blood that was lingering as he said "I need to take care of you faster, let's get serious." as he cracked his fingers

'He wasn't?!' I thought shocked by his revelation as I suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from my chest

Looking down I saw his hands piercing me, only leaving an empty hole the moment he would take it out.

Blood gushed out of my mouth as he tossed me into several trees, my body crashing into a wall of rocks.

'I couldn't even see him move at all' I thought as I tried to heal myself

A shiver ran through my body when I thought about him learning the Eight Gates.

'If he can compete with the Sixth Gates with just his Chakra Mode... How strong would he be if he could use it'

How wrong of me to try and fight against him in close combat, serves me right for trying to compare myself.

Not giving me more time, I saw a giant panther made of black lightning surge at me.

'I have to use that don't I' I thought as I closed my eyes and opened them almost instantly making the flower pattern I had shine and change into a red color

A black skeleton started to surround me and grew until it looked humanoid, barely blocking the Black Panther.

"An Uchiha? But you said you were a Senju, unless..." I heard him wonder as he looked at the black humanoid form that surrounded me and more importantly my eyes before frowning

'This state won't be enough' I thought before forcefully opening my sealed chakra sending a massive surge toward my Susanoo

The ground around me was breaking apart and the pressure my amount of chakra gave even made the Third Raikage kneel.

A white armor began to shape around my Susanoo as he was growing in size until it became bigger than even mountains, the chakra changing from black to white.

My Susanoo wielded a giant Sword reminding me of Masamune in the right arm, the wings had a pair of hands to the bottom that wielded sheaths, one still had a sword inside.

[Here]

The moment I was safely inside the now full-body Susanoo's head, I felt a sharp pain in my eyes as chakra surged in them.

"Argh!" I let out as I covered my eyes with my hands and bent forward from the pain

Blood started to fall on my cheek and hands, the pain still great but I had to bear with it, I lowered my hands and when I looked at them I saw the reflection of my eyes in my blood.

The flower design spread to almost cover my whole eyes, three black lines disappeared in the outer layer while the center had three red tomoe surrounding a shuriken design.

'I guess getting pushed back helped'

[Here]

'This design looks familiar' I thought looking at the center of my eyes before shifting my gaze to the now ant-sized Raikage.

"Let's see who is faster now." I said with a voice that echoed and was heard from everyone miles away, while my Susanoo raised its massive sword and slammed it down where the Raikage was

The speed of my Susanoo was the same as mine but because of the size, it was harder to evade even for him.

*CRASH*

The whole landscape disappeared from the blow and I sensed that the Raikage barely left the area, not by forgetting something behind...

'Yasaka Magatama' I mentally said as projectiles appeared in my Susanoo's free hand before throwing them where the Raikage was fleeing, his whole right arm tore off from his body up to his neck.

My attacks destroyed everything, killed some shinobi, hidden or not, as well as some of my Triffids who were caught by the strikes.

With the state of my eyes, I could see him move with ease, and how he dodged some of the projectiles but not all of them.

He wasn't as fast as before now that I had my Sharingan activated.

I then waited for him to move where I wanted and crushed him under one of my Susanoo's feet.

"Argh!" he yelled as he was getting crushed, his head the only thing that wasn't below the foot.

Moving inside Susanoo by having the chakra motion me, I was now facing him and said "Think twice before assaulting a village that did nothing wrong..." I then laughed out loud and added "You will end up like the Gold and Silver Brothers and strengthen me."

He looked surprised by what I just revealed and understood that I was the one who took care of them.

"Don't think... This is over..." he said weakened by the blood loss from his shoulder

"Oh not for you that's for sure." I said smiling as Susanoo's sword was hovering right on top of his head

I motioned my hand down making the sword crush his head into nothingness.

'Suijin' I said making my right eye shine as I had my hand on the Raikage's body

'It's finally over' I thought exhausted as I saw the Triffids enjoy their meals before shrinking into the same seeds they were at first

I then moved myself using Susanoo for transportation as I saw Shiromari fly over to the coast.

He finished sinking every boat and killed everyone in the sea, he looked at me worried as he knew that I was barely staying conscious.

Without saying anything I raised my hand and touched his head sending him a message, before falling as my Susanoo expired.

The last thing I felt was something wrapping me and a voice I trusted saying "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

'Tsunade is going to kill me' was my last thought before falling unconscious

[A/N: Waiting for the 'He could've...' yeah maybe, but that's my story, and fights without hardship would be boring.

Some stuff should be explained in one or two chapters.

And fighting scenes aren't my forte.
