Chapter 9 The Uchiha's Shadow Play

"Yeah, you're correct. So what now?" Ayanokouji inquired, his gaze shifting towards a nearby tree. "If you give up, I can spare your life. It's not like I have to kill you; I just want you to stop sabotaging the Uchihas."

Meanwhile, a mysterious white creature lurked in the shadows, observing the battle unfold. "What? Just who's that shinobi?" it wondered, perplexed by Ayanokouji's abilities. "He seemed to have noticed me. Also, why can't I get a single clue on his chakra?" With that, it retreated further into the darkness, its curiosity piqued.

"Hmph Dream on. There's no way you can disrupt the plans of Lord Danzou." Replied Sugaru in an arrogant tone with some heated emotions to which Ayanokouji replied, "I alone can't but I have some really reliable too— cough* allies for this operation. I am gonna succeed no matter what." Then he proceeded to make some hand seals.

[Shadow Clone Jutsu!!!]

Suddenly a clone appeared near Ayanokouji as he nodded and went away for the hunt of the creature. The creature who had been just spying on them was none other than white Zetsu. 'Okay, then. It's time to capture this root. His body, it can be quite useful for some of my future plans.' Thought Naruto as he rushed towards the Aburame Root with nothing but one thought, 'I shall end this one soon enough.'

Seeing that the Aburame Root Sugaru began forming some hand seals as he took launched a huge fire Jutsu which was...

[Fire Style: Grand Fire Ball Jutsu.]

'I see. He is planning for a surprise attack. But...' Thought Ayanokouji Kiyotaka as he planned his next moves. Then after few moments from Sugaru's perspective he sensed something coming from the side of his Jutsu which he presumed to be Ayanokouji dodging the Jutsu, then decides to play a trick.

Swoosh!

'Now's the time.' He thought as he body flickered towards that vague portrait which he kinda guessed to be his enemy Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Then as he reached there he stabbed the figure but later he realized it that it was just a piece of cloth Ayanokouji used for distraction. Also with...

Boom!

But...

Poof!!!

Suddenly that Sugaru dissipated in smoke indicating it was a shadow clone. Seeing that Sugaru thought, 'As expected it was a trap. But you are not the only one with tricks, Ayanokouji. I too can use the shadow clone. Also now either he can come at me from down, up, and the other side. No matter where he comes from. I shall kill him. I have wasted too much resources and time in here.'

But then the next moment something very unexpected happened in Ayanokouji's side. Firstly the fireball Jutsu he had just used suddenly disappeared in the air as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka appeared from there running straight towards him.

'It's time to end this.' Thought Ayanokouji Kiyotaka as he speed up using the Body Flicker Technique as he internally added, 'Human brain is very easy to manipulate. Just distract it for few moments even milliseconds. If act well you can distract it for few moments. And in that few moments. It's enough to win.'

Seeing that Sugaru stood there with a defensive stance fully prepared for the upcoming clash as he thought, 'Just what is this kid planning? A taijutsu battle or another one of his tricks. Hmph, given enough time I can guess it easily. Which I have more than enough.'

"Then how about I just steal that time from you?" Said Ayanokouji as he prepared a fist in attempt to punch Sugaru. But before the clash could occur, suddenly Sugaru sensed something coming from a certain place from a tree. Which was a Shuriken.

Clang!

Which he had no problem blocking it with his kunai. And in the middle of it he widened his eyes. Because then he had realized it, 'Damn this brat. He purposefully threw that Shuriken to make me realize what I just realized more slower. He isn't going to engage in a taijutsu battle. He's gonna use fuinjutsu.'

Tap!

By the time he had realized what he just realized just now, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had already tapped him in his chest with his hands not his fists which was a Fuinjutsu formula as he said, "Yeah, you're correct. Though it was truly unfortunate for you that you realized it very late. I was planning on sealing your body for my research purposes actually."

Then suddenly various complicated sealing formulas appeared out of nowhere in his body, which then glowed right after the moment it appeared and as Sugaru Aburame watched Ayanokouji Kiyotaka helplessly he heard a phrase from him which was.

"Sleep well, my experimental subject."

Swoosh!

"How much did you succeed?" Asked Naruto as he picked up Sugaru and then turned around and just as he expected there was his shadow clone present in there. "Actually all I got was this piece of meat, luckily 'he' didn't appear there. And just as planned now Akatsuki knows about us. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. But not the identity known as Uzumaki Naruto which we possess now." Said Ayanokouji's clone as it disappeared and threw the scroll with the piece of meat of white Zetsu in it.

"I see." Muttered Ayanokouji as he caught it and he thought, 'Great Truly great, now with this I can proceed with my plans in this world. I wonder if I will succeed before the chunin exams with my new experiments now.'

Present time with Danzou, his root, Sishui, and the Hyuga clan:

Currently Danzou just knew with Hiashi's presence that the Hyugas now were against him as of now. And he didn't believe that they did it alone. Without a doubt an outsider must be involved. But who? Aside from the mysterious figure who caused Minato's death and Orochimaru, he can't think except for a few candidates.

As both parties got involved in a fierce glare against each other, Danzou thought, 'Whoever it is. They won't survive away from me no matter what.' Then he said, "Leave Hiashi and Sishui to me. As for others, kill them all, don't leave even one of them alive."

"Danzou Just what are you hoping to do against us two? You should give up. Your ways for the village's peace. It's truly wrong." Said Hiashi as he tried to reason with Danzou to which Sishui said, "No There's no need to forgive him. The only thing that will bring justice to his sins is only his death. Mangekyo Sharingan!!!" As he yelled the last part.

Then the next moment Sishui's Sharingan changed from the usual three tomoe towards the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan. Then Sishui started building up more chakra in his eyes as he muttered the next words which was...

[Susanoo]

Then with the help of his both the Mangekyo Sharingan, Sishui summoned a huge skeleton warrior alongside him. Which now glanced towards Danzou with its majestic attire.

"So that's the so-called legendary Susanoo." Said Danzou as he frowned a little, seeing it as if this kid Sishui reached the level of Madara Uchiha, he, no. Even if the whole village attacked him altogether, he would only survive. As he continued, "But it's really small. Which means you haven't mastered it fully."

"Let's see about it then." Said Sishui as he then alongside his Susanoo rushed towards Danzou. To which seeing that Danzou threw some Kunais accompanied with explosion tags. And as it reached towards Sishui's Susanoo, they exploded.

Boom Boom Boom!

"Where is he?" Muttered Sishui as he saw that Danzou now had disappeared from the place he was in. Then he suddenly realized Danzou's next moves. And he shouted, "HIASHI-SAN!!!"

"I see. So he was after me, huh? Really an old trick to reduce our number." Muttered Hiashi as he activated his Byakugan, but couldn't find him anywhere. Then he suddenly noticed some movements in the ground. And just as he expected, Danzou came out of there using an Earth Style Ninjutsu to travel via ground, just like Zetsu.

Then with the element of surprise, he tried to stab Hiashi with a kunai, which Hiashi noticed narrowly as he slapped Danzou's hand away, and seeing that Danzou then tried to punch Hiashi, which Hiashi countered quickly with a jab palm strike, which hit Danzou in an instant, showcasing the quick superior taijutsu of Hyugas.

But...

Poof!

"What!? A shadow clone? I should have expected it." Said Hiashi as he once again began the search of Danzou with his Byakugan. Then from behind a tree, Danzou appeared, which Hiashi noticed it, as Danzou then threw a very lethal Wind Jutsu towards Hiashi, indicating he had already finished the hand seals.

[Wind Style: Vacuum Great Bullets]

Muttered Danzou as he inhaled air, then the next moments a huge amount of strong chakra appeared in Danzou as he threw some really powerful wind-style bullets almost at the speed of sound towards Hiashi with tremondously destructive power. To which Hiashi countered it immediately by...

[Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation]

Said Hiashi then the next moment he started rotating at a very high speed, then chakra started appearing in his hand as it formed a sphere of huge amount of chakra by rotation.

Swoosh Thud Drip!

But still it seems that some of the bullets of it was able to pierce some of the body parts of Hiashi as it flew towards Hiashi's body before the defensive move of Hiashi's Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation was formed but luckily no major damage was done. As Hiashi put his hands in his wounds of the other hand, he thought, 'So this is a Kage-level shinobi's battle? No wonder I am feeling this much pressure. But still that 'boy'... His strength was even more when he used that chakra of his.'

Swoosh!

Then suddenly from high up in the air, two shurikens covered with wind chakra that too from 50 centimeters upwards its center point came flying towards Hiashi. Seeing that Hiashi took out his kunai in both hands as he parried those two shurikens away.

Swoosh!

[Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves]

Said Danzou as he neared Hiashi with the intent to kill him with wind chakra covered in his kunai with the shape of a sword. And as he was about to stab Hiashi to death...

"Not on my watch." Screamed Sishui as he rushed towards them and punched Danzou away with his Susanoo's ability. Which Danzou barely managed to block it, nevertheless still blocked it. Then once again Sishui moved forward with the attacks as he punched towards Danzou.

But he stopped in the middle, then suddenly from Sishui's Susanoo multiple spike-like objects materialized out of nowhere then shot like a bullet towards not Danzou but his root army as it pierced most of them while some dodged it.

"YOU!!! You faked to attack me but in truth you were aiming to reduce my other battle powers to gain the wave of advantage? Certainly even I didn't expect it." Sneered Danzou as he started molding chakra and also started planning his next moves.

To which Sishui responded, "No more like you couldn't possibly imagine helping your comrades. No wonder you couldn't guess it, right? Danzou." As he undid his Susanoo for now as he too started molding chakra and planning his next moves.

( A/N :- Hey guys, I am really sorry for very short chapter and will try to bring out the next chapter as fast as possible. Also it would help a lot if you could bring our some ideas I could try.

Anyway in this chap, as you may have read I made Ayanokouji completely overpower the Sugaru the root. Which I think is actually reasonable. Because if I am correct, Naruto was actually able to chase off some chunins when he was 12 with completely untrained body. Then this is Ayanokouji in Naruto's body. Just like how Ayanokouji was on his own level in Cote world defeating pro martial artists at the age of 9 with no change in heartbeat. I made this Naruto elite Jounin level and scratching the low Kage level a little. Which is more than enough to overpower Sugaru.

Also I would like to make Fuinjutsu one of the main arsenal of Naruto in this fic as it is freaking awesome. Also Once again if possible for point out some awesome Fuinjutsu techniques for my Ayanokouji in Naruto's body. Also currently Naruto is intermediate in it a little away from scratching grandmaster level.

Also lastly using the Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's name Naruto will turn the Akatsuki's situation to his desired outcome on the future. Using manipulation.

Also spoilers for manga....

It seems that Konohamaru can now use Windstyle Rasen Barricade. Honestly I love him then and now too. My boy konohamaru. As a character ofc.

And wow that bijidama collision was also really great. And it seems himawari can now use a little healing techniques too.

Oh and lastly, Boruto. I am looking forward to see how shall he confront with... Who was it, btw? Yeah jura.

Yeah that's it. Let's meet in next chap.)
