Fighting against the Legendaries Part 9

Kimimaro looked at Sasuke following which, he charged his way over…

< Fourth Dance - Dance of the Clematis: Vine! >

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Kimimaro howled while simultaneously releasing a huge amount of battle intent.

Sasuke released a massive amount of Killing intent into the atmosphere as he glared at Kimimaro who was running towards him...

*tk!*

Kimimaro's legs got petrified.

("His eyes, they are looking at me as though I am his prey...") Kimimaro thought.

As Sasuke kept glaring at Kimimaro, he brought his right hand out.

(Bz!)

(Bz!) (Bz!)

(Bz!) (Bz!) (Bz!) (Bz!)

(Bz!) (Bz!) (Bz!) (Bz!) (Bz!) (Bz!)

< Sage Art - Snake Lightning Chidori! >

"What…is…that…?" Kimimaro thought back to the time, Sasuke used his Chidori against Kimimaro back when they fought in the desert.

(Whoosh!)

Sasuke ran towards Kimimaro…

Time seemed to have slowed down by a hundred times as Kimimaro silently watched Sasuke run towards him with those cold yellow eyes…

("Is this the end…") Kimimaro thought following which his life flashed by him…

...

Before he met Orochimaru,

Kaguya clan treated him as a prisoner since he had a special battle power that far surpassed the usual clan members…

Aside from being in prison, Kimimaro would wander around aimlessly near the banks of a river.

He would come across things like rocks or flowers; however, he would think nothing and continue walking.

Kimimaro was generally not interested in anything.

However, when it came to battles, Kimimaro as a part of the Kaguya clan had always rushed into battles alongside his clan members...

The Kaguya clan lived to fight.

Fighting was their only way of survival, which taught Kimimaro that if he did not fight, then he couldn't live…

Soon, the Hidden Mist was disconcerted with the existence of the Kaguya clan; thus the leader of the clan decided to launch a night assault on the hidden mist to have them realize the power of the Kaguya clan…

coincidentally, Zabuza also decided to leave the Hidden mist on that day along with Haku.

Kimimaro who was on the outskirts ran towards the hidden mist village, but on the way, he happened to bump into Zabuza and Haku.

"Are you of the Hidden Mist?" Kimimaro asked as he raised his bone-sword against Zabuza.

Zabuza was in the mood to kill from his humiliating situation of being forced to flee from the village; however, he changed his mind following which he replied…

"No!"

Kimimaro lowered his bone hilted sword.

"I see…"

"Excuse Me!" Kimimaro said as he ran towards the village.

Haku turned back to look at Kimimaro.

("He has the same eyes as I did before meeting Zabuza…") Haku thought as he looked towards Kimimaro who was running to the village.

"What is it Haku?" Zabuza asked.

"Oh, It's nothing…Zabuza!" Haku said in a low voice.

"We don't have time to be stopping."

"Let's Hurry," Zabuza said as he started walking again…

"Right!" Haku followed from behind…

Soon…

Kimimaro came across Orochimaru who was staring at the village from the edge of a cliff.

Hah! Kimimaro attacked Orochimaru from behind.

(Whoosh!) Orochimaru quickly dodged and sent Kimimaro flying away with a punch.

Kimimaro immediately got up again and ran towards Orochimaru…

"You're quite the Hasty one aren't you?"

"I'm not from this village," Orochimaru said.

Kimimaro was surprised.

Orochimaru slightly turned towards the direction of the village.

"The thing you are after is right there…"

"Now, Go," Orochimaru said.

"Mm!" Kimimaro nodded following which he leaped of the cliff as he ran towards the Hidden Mist village.

…

During the battle,

Kimimaro shifted across people as he took them down one by one while the rest of his clan members fought as well…

By the time it was morning, only Kimimaro had survived, while the rest had died overnight.

…

Somewhere along the banks of the river…

Kimimaro walked around aimlessly once again until he stopped beside a particular flower.

"This flower…."

"It's from back then…" Kimimaro thought back to the time he used to walk along the banks of the river.

He squatted down and looked at the flower closely…

"Why are you growing in a place like this?"

"…"

"Why won't you answer?" Kimimaro asked the flower.

"You're ignoring me too, huh?" Kimimaro asked as he raised his bone-hilted sword.

"There's no way you'd be seen by someone in a place like this, yet you…!" Kimimaro was angry from loneliness, yet he decided to show his anger on an unrelated flower.

Just as he was about to stab it…

"That's Enough!" A voice interfered.

"Huh?" Kimimaro turned back to see Orochimaru staring at him.

"Maybe… There is no significance to living, But you might be able to discover something interesting by continuing to live right…?" Orochimaru asked.

"Like how you discovered that flower…"

"Like How I discovered you," Orochimaru said as he caressed Kimimaro's face.

"Okay let's go!" Orochimaru said.

Kimimaro smiled as though he had found a reason for his existence.

….

The scene changes back to the present as Sasuke continued to run towards Kimimaro…

Kimimaro who was petrified in one place smiled at the incoming Sasuke…

("My mission is to protect Lord Orochimaru and his ambition…")

("His ambition is to obtain Sasuke's body, for that, I am ready to sacrifice my life.") Kimimaro thought as he looked at Sasuke.

*Pierce!*

Sasuke's hand pierced into Kimimaro's body completely.

"ELDER BROTHER!!!!!!" Jūgo shouted in despair, as he looked away from Gaara.

*Ugh!* Kimimaro coughed out blood.

("I'm sorry Jūgo for not looking after you…") Kimimaro thought following which he looked at Sasuke.

"Uchiha…"

"Sas..uk..e"

"Mm!" Sasuke responded.

"Please take care…"

"of my…."

"little brother…" Kimimaro managed to say before he fell down to the floor lifelessly.

However, Sasuke was stunned.

Somehow, seeing Kimimaro and hearing his words during his final moments gave him the feeling of earning for Itachi, just like he was back in his childhood.

No matter how much Sasuke detested Itachi, He still yearned for a family.

Sasuke turned towards Jūgo who stared at him with hatred.

He saw an image of himself staring at Itachi with hatred…

—————————————————

(Whoosh!)

Kabuto had arrived at the top of the stadium wall in an ANBU agent disguise.

"Just what is going on in here?" Kabuto thought as he had a general overview of the situation, where all the sound ninjas had been taken down; meanwhile, the battle between the hokages continued.

"Hmm…?" Kakashi looked at Kabuto who was disguised.

Upon seeing the mask, he instantly understood that the man was not an ANBU agent, at least the agent wearing the particular mask was actually scheduled to be at some other place on duty.

"Kakashi!" Gai called out.

"Mm!" Kakashi nodded.

Gai with Kakashi's nod also confirmed that they thought of the same thing.

"Orochimaru-sama…" Kabuto observed the scene that was taking place in the stadium.

….

"No…."

"This cannot be happening…" Orochimaru stared in horror at Naruto.

(Katcha!)

Naruto pulled out the kunai completely.

"NOOOO!!!!!!" Orochimaru shouted in despair…

("GOOD FUCKING JOB!")

("I like this brat!") Enma thought internally while trapping Tobirama within it's prison.

Minato remained emotionless for a moment or two before he finally snapped back to reality.

"Naruto…" Minato murmured.

"Dad…" Naruto murmured as he stared at Minato happily.

Minato turned towards Orochimaru, and so did Naruto.

"Orochimaru, I would like to introduce to you, my dad!" Naruto said in a smug voice.

"Nice to meet you, Orochimaru-san!" Minato said.

*Ugh!*

Orochimaru's face twisted in anger and humiliation.

"Go, Naruto!" Minato said.

"Mm!" Naruto nodded following which he looked towards Tobirama who was stuck in the prison.

(Whoosh!)

Naruto reappeared by the prison.

"Damn it!" Orochimaru cursed as he tried to move again in pursuit of Naruto.

(Whoosh!)

Minato appeared in front of Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru-san, that's enough!" Minato said.

….

Meanwhile, Naruto was examining the prison cell.

"Umm…" Naruto was wondering how he would fit his hand through…

*tk!*

One of the staffs moved away making way for Naruto's hand to fit in.

"What?"

"it moves on its own…" Naruto thought.

(Bang!) Tobirama punched through the opening.

However, Naruto reacted by catching Tobirama's hand with his left side chakra hand.

"This is going to be troublesome…" Naruto thought following which he raised his right hand.

< Sage Art Magnetic Release - Mini Rasengan >

A mini Rasengan appeared on Naruto's hand; meanwhile Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Rasa watched Naruto with wide open mouth.

(Whoosh!) Naruto sent the Rasengan through the small opening.

(Bang!) Tobirama was sealed as well.

("Looks like it is safe now…") Enma thought.

"Brat, Go in!" Enma said as he opened up one side of the cell completely.

"Eeeeehhhhh….?" Naruto stared at the cell weirdly.

"Go in brat!" Enma said again.

"You can talk?" Naruto asked.

"Now is not the time!" Enma reminded.

"Right!" Naruto said as he stepped in and reached into Tobirama's back and pulled out the kunai with the talisman.

"Thanks, brat!" Tobirama said in a low voice.

"My work isn't finished yet…" Naruto said as he looked towards Hiruzen who was holding down Hashirama within the earth with the Earth Release - Double Suicide Decapitation Technique while two more shadow clones of Hiruzen were holding down Hashirama by the shoulders.

("Naruto") a voice sounded within Naruto's mind.

("Shū!") Naruto communicated internally.

("Naruto, go over to the First, I will coat your soul energy with mine to prevent that from happening again!") Shū said.

("You mean I can take it out of him all by myself?") Naruto asked.

("Yup!") Shū replied.

"Got it!" Naruto said following which he took out his kunai and threw it towards the ground in front of Hashirama.

< Flying Thunder God - Stage 2 >

Naruto appeared in front of Hashirama who was stuck in the ground.

"Naruto!" Hiruzen called out.

"You can release him, Old man!" Naruto said.

"It's okay to release him?" Hiruzen asked.

"Mm!" Naruto nodded.

"All right!"

"I shall leave it to you!" Hiruzen said following which he dispelled all his clones and jumped out of Naruto's way.

(Bang!) Hashirama broke out of the ground.

(Whoosh!) Naruto instantly appeared in front of Hashirama and used his hand to phase through Hashirama's chest and grab the kunai.

"It's finally over…" Naruto murmured.

"Mm!" Hashirama nodded as he looked towards Tobirama and Minato who had recovered as well.

Soon Naruto, Hashirama and Tobirama also appeared in front of Orochimaru who's expression was at the lowest of the low.

"Allow me to introduce the legendary duo," Naruto said with a smug look.

"Nice to meet you!" Hashirama greeted.

"I am Senju Hashirama!"

"I am Senju Tobirama!" Tobirama also joined in on the fun as they stared at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru felt like salt was being rubbed over his wounds.

…

"Orochimaru-sama is done for..." Kabuto murmured in defeat while he simultaneously prayed in his heart...

("May Orochimaru-sama's soul rest in peace.")

For Kabuto knew that Orochimaru was royally fucked.
