Chapter 24: Dragon Brothers

"Greeting Mizukage. I am Jin, an Akatsuki member."

"Akatsuki? May I know, what are your purpose of coming here?"

"I'm here on behalf of the Akatsuki to catch you, Mizukage. Ah, let me rephrase it to you. I'm here to catch you, Jinchuuriki of Sanbi." explained Jin.

Yagura was shocked with what he just heard. He looked at Jin and replied in solemn voice "You are very bold, Akatsuki guy. Aren't you afraid that I and my subordinate will gang up on you?"

"I believe in my ability. Also if possible I want this to be settled peacefully."

"Do you think that I will let myself be your captive that easily?"

"Maybe not." Replied Jin. "Sigh. I am not really a fan of violent. How about this let's have a deal."

"You have come with an unpleasant reason. Don't expect me to make any deal with you." said Yagura, visibly hostile toward Jin.

"Hear my deal out first. If you can beat me in a fight, I will be your captive. However, If I defeat you, I will take out the three tailed beast. How is it?" Jin tried to explain his deal as clear as he can.

Yagura looked at Jin deeply and contemplatively. The way that he come alone boldly into Kirigakure just prove that this guy is certainly very powerful.

"Anbu."

"Here."

"Inform Terumi Mei and the others. I am stepping down from the Mizukage position. As of today, I want to appoint Terumi Mei as the fifth Mizukage."

"MIZUKAGE - SAMA!!" the anbu is greatly shocked when he heard the command.

"This is my command. Go!" commanded Yagura.

"...yes Mizukage-sama." the anbu bowed down, before moving away in a hurry.

"Let's fight somewhere else." said Yagura.

"Sure."

Yagura then flashed away while Jin followed closely. The two continued to travel for a while, crossing the sea until they reached an uninhabited island in the vicinity of the land of Mist.

"Before we fight, may I know why does Akatsuki want to seize Sanbi?" asked Yagura.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Akatsuki's purpose is the peace of the world. However, to achieve that, we need all nine bijuus. That's why I am here. Does this answer your question?" Jin.

"You know, I am really impressed with how brave and honest you are. It just so sad that you are my enemy. So, to respect you, let me fight you at my full power." said Yagura.

He then tranaformed into his Bijuu form. His form is not like Sanbi's former body. He transformed into a dark blue sea beast. His form is a gigantic merman with a head of a dragon, and with four hand.

"Bijuu! You are actually a Bijuu by yourself?" this time, Jin was the one who got surprised. "Are not you suppose to be just the Jinchuuriki of Sanbi?"

"Bijuu Style: Water Showering Shot!"

Yagura answered Jin with a barrage of water bullet. Jin hastily moved away and evaded every single water bullet.

"So, this is your strongest form. Then, let's me also fight you seriously."

Jin body sudden enlarged. His body grow longer, his head turned into dragon head, and a tail come into existance. Scales growed out of his skin, and three horn jutted out of his head.

"Dragonification: Blue Dragon!"

A deep voice come out of the now transformed Blue Dragon. The emergance of these two gigantic beast, made the island look so small. Just any small movement from these two can already shake the island.

"Dragon form! That is one very rare transformation. Let's see how good are you in this form. Bijuu Style: Bijuu Bomb!"

Yagura then charged a big black chakra bomb. In a matter of a few seconds, a chakra ball with two meter diameter was formed. He then launched the Bijuu Bomb towards the Blue Dragon.

"Dragon Breath: Blue Cannon!"

On the other hand, the moment Jin saw Yagura start charging a bijuu dama, he also started to focus an intense chakra in his dragon's mouth. The moment Yagura launched his chakra ball, he opened his mouth and shot a blue beam, that mainly consisted of water elemental chakra.

Booom!!

When the two attack got connected, an overwhelming explosion, and intense shockwave spread instantly, from the point of impact toward it's surrounding. All the object nearby was swept away far from that place. Both Yagura and Jin also got pushed back several hundred meters away from where they were standing.

After everything calmed down for a bit, the two beast then are able to see each other again. When Yagura saw that his opponent is still in good condition, he launched himself toward his opponent. The same goes for Jin. He also charged toward Yagura.

Without any suspense, the two straight away attacked each other, physically. Clawing, punching and other brawling style was used by these giant rival. Even biting is not an exception. Their struggle in trying to overwhelm each other was so intense that they did not realise that their location already changed, from being on the island, to being submerged into the sea.

...

On an island not too far from where Jin and Yagura is fighting, another fight has just started. Here, Utakata who was forced to transform into his six tailed Bijuu form is fighting against a Red Dragon. This Red Dragon is Shin, Jin's brother.

Suddenly, the Red Dragon, Shin turned sideway and looked at the distance. From the distance, he could feel the tremor of a large explosion. He also can feel the familiar energy that came from the direction of the explosion. 'So, Jin is already fighting at his full power. In that case, let me try my best to defeat this guy as soon as possible.'

"Sorry man. The playing time is now over. Let's finish this fight as soon aa posssible."

Roarr!!

"Uh...forget about it. You seems to be unable to talk properly in that bijuu form of yours."

The six tailed guy just aggressively attacked the Red Dragon.

"Sigh, this fighting style of yours is terribly bad. Let me teach you how to fight with style. Dragon Breath: Red Cannon!"

Just like Jin, Shin accumulated a chakra into his mouth and launched a red beam of cannon, signifying his attack is mainly consisted of the fire element.

The attack bulldozed Utakata, and sent him flying away into the distance. A while later, Utakata was seen standing in the distance with a terrible wound on his body. His bijuu chakra then slowly tried to heal him back. However, the healing process is too slow.

"This is enough. It's time to take a nap."

Shin who already retracted his transformation appeared beside Utakata and hand-chopped him on his neck. The wounded Utakata fell unconscious on the ground.

"Now, let's check on Jin's fight." whispered Shin. He then took the unconscious Utakata and rushed toward Jin's location.

...

On Jin side, his fight is also already concluded. He and Yagura are now floating on top of the sea near the ruined Uninhabited island. In this fight, he managed to defeat Yagura, though it cost him much of his energy and a broken left hand.

"You are the most powerful opponent I have ever fought so far. Thanks for the fight."

Jin treated his wounded left hand. After that, he prepared to moved toward the direction of the Rokubi's location, but stopped on his track when he saw Shin moving toward him from the distance.

"Hei, you already finished your fight? I was just about to came and give you a hand." said Shin.

"I just finished. This Mizukage is really a tough guy." said Jin. "Lets go. Shin, go and carry him." commanded Jin.

"Can you just carry him on your own? Beside, I'm already carrying the jinchuuriki of the six tail."

"Look. That guy ruined my left hand."

"Wow, my nii-san got wounded badly for the first time...Kakaka."

"Shut up. Just go and carry that guy." Jin then left without waiting for his brother.

"Ah, hei. Wait for me." Shin took out a weird gourd and activated a seal on it. The gourd then stored Yagura's giant bijuu body. After that, Shin kept the gourd and quickly followed after Jin.

An hour later.

At the place where Yagura's body was floating before, a black dot appeared out of nowhere. The dot enlarged and turned into a water mirror. A man then walked out of the mirror. This human is surprisingly the former fourth Mizukage, Yagura!

Sometime ago, when Yagura's bijuu dama collided with Jin's Blue Cannon, Yagura took that window of time to split his soul into a one-tenth and nine-tenth potion. He also divided his bijuu chakra body into 7:3 ratio. After that he got his bigger soul portion into the smaller portion of bijuu chakra body, while the smaller soul portion into the bigger portion of bijuu chakra body.

After he was done with that, he hid his biggest soul into a water mirror that he timed to be sealed in the space for a certain period of time. The small soul portion on the other hand will continue to fight using his bigger portion of bijuu chakra body. Although this is a big gamble, he succeed in the end.

"This cost me some of my soul, and almost all of my chakra body." whispered Yagura. " Well, it's worth the gamble. Now then, I should stay low for a while."

For a moment Yagura was lost in thought. "Ah, I know. Let's go to where Uzumaki Zokuto is staying. I should ask him to teach me those fighting mode that he used that day. If I have learned that, I might be able to beat that Akatsuki guy. Hmph! Just you wait Jin. I will take my revange in the future."

After making his mind, Yagura then left ans journeyed toward Tonika Village, in the direction of the land of Fire.
