Chapter 12

Sarutobi's face dropped, and Enma stared in pure shock and surprise.

The wave of fire was cleaved in two. Miyamoto stood in the middle of the separated waves, his crescent smile still on his face.

"Did a demon raise from hell to punish me?" Sarutobi said mindlessly, stumbling from shock.

Enma was also in shock, but he transformed into his monkey form and roared in Sarutobi's face, baring his teeth. Little traces of saliva landed on Sarutobi's face, as Enma roared

"Focus Sarutobi!" Enma shouted, shaking Sarutobi.

Sarutobi blinked multiple times, recovering from his shock, heaving from fear.

"I don't know how but that sword was the reason he was able to cut through the fire wave! You just need to get rid of the sword and you will be able to win!" Enma said before changing into his staff form.

"I believe in you, Sarutobi."

Sarutobi took a deep breath before he grabbed his staff, and charged toward Miyamoto.

"Thank you, Enma!" Sarutobi shouted, reinvigorated.

Miyamoto stood between the waves, his heart beating in his ears.

'This euphoric feeling, cleaving the wave of fire. How exciting!' Miyamoto let out a laugh, deep from his belly.

Miyamoto saw the Hokage charging him, leaving a don't cloud in his wake.

"Yes! Come, Hokage!" Miyamoto shouted before charging at the Hokage.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Explosions of smoke erupted around Sarutobi as he charged.

Miyamoto saw more Hokage burst out of the smoke clouds that exploded on the field

'Interesting, very interesting!' If Miyamoto could smile any wider, he would.

A front, middle, and back lines were formed as the Sarutobi's charged.

"Earth style: Great Mud River!"

The whole field in front of Miyamoto turned into mud and started rushing towards him.

The middle row of Sarutobi's jumped in the air.

"Fire style: Ash Pile Burning!"

A storm of ash hurled down at Miyamoto as he slid down the mud river.

The last row of Sarutobi's jumped higher than the middle row.

"Fire style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

A wave of fireballs rained down from the sky, one could mistake them for the sun.

Miyamoto knew what came next, luckily he was able to stay ahead of the ash cloud. He could feel the heat from the fireballs as they got closer.

"Good work, Sarutobi," Enma said, looking at Sarutobi.

Sarutobi looked as the ash cloud exploded, taking a huge chunk of the field, the shockwave from the attack split the clouds in the sky and sent a powerful gust of wind, kicking up dirt and sending Sarutobi skidding across the ground, sending him a few feet back.

Miyamoto was sent flying, skipping on the dirt like a rock skims water. He landed a few hundred meters away, and as he rolled to a stop, Miyamoto felt his back start to sting as the explosion left a burn on his back, dirt was stuck in the wound, and the wind made it irritate like a sunburn

All of the clones disappeared as Sarutobi was left exhausted from his overuse of chakra.

Enma transformed into his monkey form, his hands had regenerated and did his hand signs.

"Wind Style: Vaccum Bullet!" Enma shot a bullet into the sky.

The dust and don't that were thrown into the air by the explosion began to be pulled to the bullet.

Miyamoto stood up, unbothered about the injury he sustained, he looked into the sky and saw the gigantic dust cloud get pulled into the sky, never to be seen again.

"Hokage..." Miyamoto said as he began to walk to where the Hokage was last.

Enma held Sarutobi in his arms as he blacked out from the overuse of his chakra.

The Anbu black ops all arrived at the scene with an explosion of smoke.

"Lord 3rd!" An Anbu in a white cloak knelt down by Sarutobi, examining his wounds.

"He's just unconscious due to his excessive use of chakra," Enma said, calming down the erratic Anbu.

"Wow!"

"Look at that."

"Hm?"

While some of the Anbu looked at the chasm that Sarutobi made, they saw a figure wielding a sword, walk to the edge of the chasm on the other side.

"HOKAGE!!!" Miyamoto shouted with all his might.

The Anbu drew their weapons and gathered around to look at Miyamoto.

"That bastard isn't dead?!"

"I'm going to kill him for what he did to lord 3rd."

The Anbu were set on killing him, but they stopped when Enma walked through them and jumped over the gap, carrying Sarutobi.

"Enma?!"

"What are you doing?!"

The Anbu shouted as Enma jumped over to Miyamoto. The Anbu went to attack Miyamoto but were stopped by the captain.

"Leave him be."

"What?!" The Anbu shouted in confusion.

"Look!" The Captain pointed at Miyamoto.

When the Ambu looked, they saw Miyamoto surround by transparent versions of himself.

"What the hell?!" One of the Anbu said.

"None of us were able to withstand his pressure back in the office, do you think that you could take on 5 shadow clones?" The Captain said, mistaking Miyamoto's fighting spirit for shadow clones.

Enma sat down next to Miyamoto with Sarutobi in his arms.

Miyamoto turned to Enma, seeing the Hokage unconscious, Miyamoto spoke.

"I win," Miyamoto said plainly, before turning to walk away, only making it 2 steps before falling flat on his face.

With a whip of wind, 4 Anbu were on top of Miyamoto, attempting to stab him.

"RRROOOAAAARRRRR!!!" Emma roared at the Anbu, making them jump back.

"Monkey king! Why? He made lord 3rd like that!" One of the Anbu shouted back.

"Sarutobi has asked me to protect them both, so honour your Hokage's wishes!" Enma sneered.

The Anbu shook in anger as this was the second time that they were ordered away.

"You heard, Enma, leave him alone." The Anbu in white jumped the gap and landed next to Miyamoto's body.

"But-"

"Another word and I will class it as insubordination!" The Captain demanded, cutting off the Anbu.

The Anbu bit their lip under their mask in anger.

"Dismissed."

The 4 Anbu jumped away, leaving Enma and the captain behind.

The Captain and Enma stood I'm silence, the wind carrying a small whistle as it flowed over the battlefield.

The Captain looked down at Miyamoto with an unreadable expression.

"I know. I don't know why Sarutobi asked for him to be kept alive, but he did." Enma said, still cradling Sarutobi.

"He is a major threat, but if he can be turned into an ally, then I understand the lord 3rds intentions." The Captain replied.

After a few moments of no one speaking, Enma asked the captain to do something.

"Could you tell me what that sword is? Who it belonged to?"

The Captain went to lick up the sword, but when he went to pull it up, Miyamoto's hand refused to let go.

"The hell?!" The Captain cursed as he couldn't rip it out of Miyamoto's hand. The Captain bent down and examined the sword.

"Hm... I don't know, it doesn't seem to have any unique properties, it's just a standard blade that's slightly better than the ones samurai use." The captain said as he stood back up.

"That can't be right, I saw him cut a wave of fire in half," Enma said, stroking his chin.

"Well, it's possible that our attacker here and his sword achieve an impossible feat thanks to some power we don't know about." The captain concluded.

"Anyways, I need to calm the village and stop any information about this from spreading, it was good to see you again Enma." The Captain said before disappearing.

Enma leaned over and dragged Miyamoto over to him while sitting down, his hands began to emit a green light, and both of their injuries started to heal.

Enma shook his head as he glared at Miyamoto.

'I don't know what you want to do Sarutobi, but I don't think your plan will work.'

(Author, again. I don't know if I want to make the sword special or not, so you decide.)
