Chapter 9: Taijutsu Battle

In just blink of an eye a time skipped happened and another year has passed and Ryukagure continued to expand and grow, still, other than the residents of Ryukagure and Madara, Hashirama.

No one else knew Ryukagure where it could be found except knowing it was in the Land of Dragon, this was one of the things Tanaka had implemented, not to expose Ryukagure for now.

After all, his system is very different from the shinobi world, take note that, Hidden Villages only bloomed because they copied Konoha, and Tanaka doesnt want that, he like being different after all.

Anyways, in this year nothing really much happened, just that Land of Dragon became increasingly famous and many people got interested in it but no matter what they do.

They could not find any information, Land of Dragon continued to being mysterious.

In this year also, The Daimyo of other major countries tried to invite Tanaka to represent Land of Dragon and get acknowledge as one of the great nations in the Shinobi World.

But Tanaka refused, it was not time yet, he just gave a reason that, soon, he will join them but he still had matters to do.

The Daimyo's of other countries couldnt do anything so they just let him be, Land of Dragon was still too mysterious after all.

Anyways, they just sat at their mansions listen music and read manga that they had bought from the Traders of Land of Dragon who calls themselves Dragon Guild.

They had fully accepted these things as its very interesting and it kept them out from their boredom.

And yes, Dragon Guild became famous through out the world and many people had purchased from them.

Dragon Guild sold their merchandise in cheap price making it affordable for everyone.

But even with that, the world was still plunged in war especially Senju and Uchiha, their battles had grown incredibly fierce which Tanaka noticed and he thought the time has come.

Of course, the population of Ryugakure had finally reached 10,000, it may not be as huge as Konoha of 80,000 but it was still considerable number since Tanaka was very choosy on which clan he chose and the refugee's he takes.

Of course, in this recent years, Tanaka didnt laze around, he made a proper government system so his work will be lessened.

The technology also continued developing and Ryukagure was closing to modern world, Tanaka also finally had network! that means he can make phones and other stuffs now, the TV will also work now, he just needed to train some news reporters and the Idols are also progressing.

Tanaka was sitting on his throne which was in a form of couch, he doesnt like those cool looking thrones that looked uncomfortable after all.

Well, as the leader of Ryugakure, his loyal men wont accept this but Tanaka kept insisting he wants something comfortable and started acting like a kid.

In which, they complied and made him a throne that could be adjusted to bed, chair, couch, massage chair, and many more which Tanaka was happy about and he accepted it.

Anyways to make it look majestic, his friends heavily decorated it, now his throne looked like it had a dragon guarding it.

Well, Tanaka didnt mind, he rarely sits on the throne, today was a special day after all.

He had his eyes close with his senses shared with his falcon clone which was spectating the war happening between Senju and Uchiha.

And Tanaka remembered this scene, this was where Izuna died, the younger brother of madara and Tanaka wont allow that, it was said Izuna was as talented as Madara, this is something crucial that Tanaka found out.

Izuna will be a great help for his mission, he then watched as Hashirama and Madara face off, then Izuna and Tobirama face each other.

They were on stalemate as both had great talents, but Tanaka decided to swap with his clone.

Tanaka reappeared on a tree only a few meter away from the battle but they didnt seem to notice him but Tanaka knew.

Hashirama and Madara long discovered him, they lessened the intensity of their battle being wary of him, while Izuna and Tobirama havent noticed.

"Tsk, these two are no fun" Tanaka clicked his tongue, he found it not strange since Hashirama and Madara trained with him for a while and they grasped some of the Observation Haki, which increased their senses.

They also mastered some skill and that greatly improved them, Tanaka sighed and looked at the on going battle of Izuna and Tobirama then suddenly something came up to his mind.

If he remembers correctly, the battle of Madara and Hashirama lasted for many years, and Konoha was only established 50 or something years later which was heck of a long time.

Tanaka doesnt even know on that time his village would be long discovered, and then they would copy him, that is a no, no.

"I could only give them a push then" Tanaka smiled, he then flicked his wrist and a katana appeared on his hand.

Madara and Hashirama noticed this and their body became tense, they became alert, after all, they had sparred with Tanaka many times when they were still visiting his village, they knew his prowess, and now that 2 years has passed?

Its impossible for him not to become strong, and just like they thought Tanaka moved by using Soru to launch himself on the air and Geppo to boost himself.

He instantly reappeared beside Izuna and Tobirama which greatly surprised the both of them but they werent able to move since Tanaka was extremely fast.

Tanaka then raised his katana and slashed towards the both of them.

"Get away!" Hashirama and Madara shouted at the same time and kicked their little brothers away then used their weapons to block Tanaka.

*Dang!

*Boom!

As the Katana collided with their weapons, the two felt extreme power from the attack and the land beneath them cracked then a huge 3 meter crater appeared.

"What are you doing Tanaka?" Hashirama asked while pushing Tanaka's blade away.

"What is the meaning of this Tanaka?" Madara also asked, also pushing Tanaka's blade away.

"Joining the fun of course! its been a while since we three sparred, lets do it!" Tanaka said with a smile.

"Tsk, still havent changed, Izuna! get away from here as far as possible!" Madara yelled.

"You too Tobirama!" Hashirama also yelled.

Izuna and Tobirama were confused but seeing the their big brothers being serious, they stopped fighting and immediately fled away.

"Haha! that is good my old brothers! lets do it just like old times" Tanaka laughed, he then pushed the two of them with a kick and backed away.

Hashirama also backed away from Madara, they were now at a triangular position.

"Same old rules?" Madara asked.

"Yes" Tanaka and Hashirama replied with a smile.

*Ting!

A coin was tossed into the skies, the three of them didnt move and waited.

Izuna and Tobirama who was at afar stared at the three, they felt something big is going to happen.

A few moments later, the coin started falling down.

*Ting!

The coin fell to the ground.

*Boom!

Three different overwhelming auras appeared and clashed with each other making the two kids from afar felt suffocated, this was too much for them!

But thankfully it only last for a second before disappearing, then the three moved at the same time.

*Swoosh!

They all charged toward the middle at the same time.

*Swish!

Suddenly Madara waved his hands with flying shurikens going after Tanaka and Hashirama which they easily dodged and blocked.

Once they reached the middle, it was a fight of Taijutsu, the fight was a battle royale.

Madara used his sharingan and kicked towards Tanaka which he dodged by dodging to the side but Madara didnt stop his kick, it was going after Hashirama who was near him.

Hashirama raised his arm and blocked Madara's kick, Tanaka also moved and sent a furry of punch towards Madara.

Madara used his Sharingan to evade the multiple attacks of Tanaka but his Sharingan seemed to have malfunction and he wasnt able to read Tanaka at all.

In instinct he raised his arms and crossed it to his body, blocking all of the attacks, Hashirama who was free immediately use this chance to attack Tanaka.

Tanaka smirked and stopped his attacks, he blocked the attack of Hashirama but the force of the punch made him back away.

Madara who just got out from the attacks of Tanaka immediately went after Hashirama who was close to him.

Their fight was very fierce that it dumbfounded the two kids from afar.

'What are we seeing? is this their big brother that they know? and who the hell is the other guy? he was actually going toe to toe with their big brothers" The two of them thought.

After fighting Taijutsu for 5 minutes, the three broke off from each other and distanced themselves, Madara and Hashirama were breathing heavily, while Tanaka was fine.

"Fuu, Tanaka didnt even break a sweat" Hashirama commented.

"Get used to it" Madara said.

"Its not a sin to be blessed alright" Tanaka teased.

"Heh" The three of them laughed and then the next moment all of them started making hand seals while staring at each other, this is going to be a ninjutsu battle.
