A Show For The Village!

The last part of the chunin exams was in full swing… with some changes.

Neji had won his fight with Naruto, having no trouble disposing of the shadow clones, wasting no time to talk to Naruto but immediately attacking him, going after joints, and once seeing how Naruto recovered, he went for the joints, making Naruto unable to even stand and refuse the proctors decision. Not arguing with Neji as much as in the canon and Hinata not being as hurt made him unable to get angry or determined enough to draw out the Nine-Tails chakra. He looked towards my direction as soon as the match ended, seemingly seeking my approval as I nodded my head. Neji would make an effective tool and right hand in the village.

Minor deviations that had seen the first real change. This world was bound to deviate from its original course and this was but minor in comparison to what was about to happen later down the road.

I was matched against Shikamaru who forfeited after trying his shadow control on me, which was easy to overcome with sheer strength. Temari was my next match witch I ended with one hit, flickering behind her and knocking her out. I could feel Hiruzen's gaze on me, probably comparing my Flicker to Shisui's. The old man was assessing my capabilities, though my 'opponents' were way out of my weight class… literally.

The compressed biomass had made it so I needed to use chakra below my feet to keep from sinking a couple of cms every time I moved in the dirt. This was only going to get worse as time went on though. When I accumulated enough biomass to fill a city I would be holding that weight up using only two feet and chakra or I would have to change my form into something… bigger.

As I slowly made my way closer to the Hokage, my eyes met Orochimaru's who was currently in disguise. A finger tap from him let me understand that the One-Tail would soon break out.

And so it started. The moment Sasuke used Chidori, my Sharingan captured it. It fit well with my methods, mostly being my hand through someone's chest or head.

The One-Tail started to break out and Orochimaru immediately went for the Hokage. As Orochimaru grabbed him, I charged right in, flickering into the roof right before Orochimaru as the barrier went up. I moved fast as I accurately kicked Orochimaru in the face, sending him flying towards the other end of the barrier.

"Hokage-sama, are you okay?" – I asked him.

"Kei, I'm fine, though you shouldn't have come. The village needs you more than me." – he said as he removed his Hokage attire.

"As long as we finish him quickly the village will be safe." – I replied back to him.

"Do not get close to him, he is too dangerous. Stand back and support me…" – He started but wasn't able to finish as Orochimaru started weaving signs.

Acting quick the Hokage and I threw shuriken, but they were blocked by the rising coffins. Only 2 made it up as the third sank back in.

"Sensei, you should really pay more attention to what is going on around you, kukuku…"

The two reanimations walked out of their coffins, pointing out to the spectators who they were, the first and second Hokage.

"Long time no see… Saru." – Hashirama said.

"Oh, it's you… You've gotten old, Sarutobi. An Uchiha… huh." – Tobirama said. Then he turned his eyes towards me as they narrowed.

"I never thought I would meet the great brothers again in this manner… Lord First, Lord Second."

As they were speaking I interfered, giving Orochimaru some time to put the Kunais in the reanimations.

"Hokage-sama. I'll handle Lord First and Second. If you can take down Orochimaru then they'll go down as well." – I spoke to Hiruzen

"Are you serious?! They are both Legendary shinobi and are not to be underestimated. Especially if they have returned with their full power."

"Even more so the reason. Your chances of winning against all three of them at the same time are too small… as long as I can keep them preoccupied, I have hope you can handle Orochimaru before my chakra reserves run out."

"…Are you sure?" -Hiruzen asked seriously.

"Yes." – I said as my Sharingan rotated, turning into the Mangekyou.

"That pattern… the mangekyou…" "Indeed." – Tobirama commented as Hashirama confirmed.

"Very well, I'll leave them to you."

"Kukuku… Hiruzen, do you truly believe that a child can hold back two of the strongest Kage in history?"

"I do not, that is why… I have to bring you down quickly." - Saying that Hiruzen moved quickly clashing with Orochimaru as the two reanimated Hokage headed to engage me in hand-to-hand combat which I reciprocated.

-------------------------------

The first to engage me was Hashirama, as I dodged his fist, grabbed his arm, and pulled him into a rotation as I sent him towards Tobirama.

Tobirama was close enough so he dodged the first and sent a punch which I blocked with my leg. Using chakra I stuck my leg to his hand, jumped, and hit him across his face with the other leg, launching him towards the other end of the barrier as a kick almost landed on my chest as Hashirama had recovered.

Leaning back 90 degrees I dodged the kick, placed an arm on the ground for balance, and retaliated with a kick that sent him flying to the right, crashing straight into the barrier.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

Just as I got up I saw a huge water dragon heading towards me. I jumped back, weaved through hand signs, and retaliated.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall Jutsu!" – I planted my hands on the ground, pouring chakra as a wall appeared in front of me, blocking Tobirama's Jutsu.

As I blocked the Jutsu a kick landed on the right side of my face, making my body turn to the left slightly as I used it to spin around and land an elbow on Hashirama who had just attacked me, sending him to the wall I just raised, breaking through it as it came crashing down.

I weaved through hand signs, moved backward, dodging Tobirama who just landed in my position. Judging the distance as too short I rushed forward without executing the technique, dodged Tobirama's attempt at punching me by redirecting his arm and grabbing his armor near the neck.

It wasn't too late, I could still perform the Jutsu. Pulling Tobirama hard, I then nailed him into the ground, channeling my chakra and activating Chidori, pushing hard and creating a hole in his chest. Usually, this wouldn't be possible as Chidori relied on momentum, but my strength was sufficient to push through with brute force.

Grabbing the back of Tobirama through the hole I had made in him I swung him around, located Hashirama as he was weaving signs, and threw Tobirama towards him, not a moment too soon as a tree started to grow from below me, trying to restrict my movement and chakra as I flickered out of its reach.

Hopefully the show I was putting on was impressive enough. While their strength was not in their prime, they were almost like me, they just kept coming and I couldn't seal them as Hirzuen had to die. Flickering to his side, I kicked Orochimaru's back and covered his back. After I told Orochimaru how to escape the Shinigami and to prevent Sarutobi from summoning Enma it was rather easy for Orochimaru who was younger to exhaust Sarutobi, that is not to say that Sarutobi wasn't hitting back, just not as hard.

"Hokage-sama, this is bad, the First and the Second won't stop for long before regenerating. As soon as push off one the other jumps right in, leaving no room to take out one of the four who holds up the barrier."

"With the barrier up we have no hope of sealing the First and the second, I'm using chakra to reinforce my body but I don't know how much longer I can go on for."

As I spoke, Hiruzen gained a grim look on his face.

"Can you keep them restrained for a moment?" – He asked with a determined look on his face.

"Can you seal them?" – I asked him back.

"As long as you hold them in place for a moment."

"Very well." – I said as my Mangekyou rotated and I flickered out of sight.
