The Rescue Mission Battle Part 5

Sasori and Deidara were watching the battles that were taking place from the sand dune they stood on…

"My man, Looks like that Orochimaru guy we wanted to kill is being given a run for his money by that blond haired kid…" Deidara said.

"Deidara!"

"Focus!"

"There are things that require more attention!" Sasori said while feeling threatened from the reveal of the Third Kazekage's reanimation form.

"Hm!" Deidara agreed.

"Huh?" Sasori turned a bit away from the direction of the battle to see a particular figure running towards the group…

("What is honored granny Chiyo doing here….?") Sasori thought, following which he turned to face his partner…

"Deidara!"

"We've waited long enough!"

"Let's go now, or else more unnecessary people will get involved in this…" Sasori said causing Deidara to get excited at the prospects of unveiling his art of explosion.

Deidara raised a single hand seal.

"Hm!"

(Poof!) the strange creature appeared once again…

"Let's go!" Deidara announced following which, the pair jumped up at the same time, landing on top of the creature's back.

KYAROOOO!!!!!! The creature cried as it quickly ascended the skies.

——————————————————

(BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

A massive cloud of dust rose from the spot where Sasuke and Kimimaro were fighting…

The sound of destruction, reverberated within the vicinity of the battlefield to the point where Kakashi, Kabuto, and the others stopped for a moment to witness the result of the attack.

The cloud of dust was slowly clearing up…

(Cough!)

(Cough!)

(Cough!)

Sasuke coughed upon inhaling a bit of dust.

His eyes started to tear up when being exposed to the cloud of dust...

He tried to block his nose from inhaling more dust and forced himself to look for Kimimaro.

(Crack!) Sasuke heard a sound from the front…

Soon… The dust cloud cleared up revealing a rib cage in front of Sasuke.

(Crack!)

(Crack!) (Crack!) (Crack!)

The Rib cage crumbled into pieces, leaving a small number of unbroken ribs in front of Kimimaro 's chest.

("Did he just create a rib cage to defend against my Chidori") Sasuke thought…

(Bleh!) Kimimaro puked quite a bit of blood, that dyed the sand red.

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Kimimaro breathed in and out heavily…

He looked towards Sasuke and stared at him in anger. Meanwhile, Sasuke stood in the same place without moving a muscle, while admiring Kimimaro's life-saving ability.

...

Kabuto stared at Kimimaro who just puked out blood…

("This is bad…")

("I can't let him fight anymore…")

("We need him to lead the Sound Four for the destruction of the leaf plan!") Kabuto thought as he quickly reached into his pocket and threw a bottle towards Kimimaro.

(Whoosh!)

Before Kakashi or Sasuke could interrupt, the bottle fell into Kimimaro's hands…

Kimimaro quickly took out two pills and popped it into his mouth.

"You…" Kimimaro stared at Sasuke angrily while he activated his Cursed Seal of Earth seal that was on his chest.

(Sh!)

(Sh!)

(Sh!)

Kimimaro's skin turned dark from the center of his chest which spread outwards to cover his entire body.

"Let's continue the dance!" Kimimaro said as he dashed towards Sasuke.

< Third Dance - Dance of the Larch! >

Kimimaro announced as he continued his battle technique from earlier…

Several bones started to pop-out all over his body once again, this time appearing stronger than ever.

"AAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Kimimaro raised his battle intent to the highest as he ran towards Sasuke in full speed.

Sasuke felt a bit threatened…

He thought back to the time where he came up with Defensive and Offensive maneuvers for circulating Thunder Natured Chakra throughout his body.

< Chidori Stream! >

Sasuke announced upon which small streams of Chidori flashed all over his body.

Kimimaro noticed the defense Sasuke had put up against him…

"It's useless!" Kimimaro declared as he appeared near Sasuke.

Sasuke quickly unsheathed his sword from the scabbard and held it against Kimimaro as he ran the Chidori stream through the sword as well.…

"Hmph!" Kimimaro snorted as he thrust his bone against Sasuke.

(Slash!) The sword and bone parried.

"Argh!" Sasuke groaned upon feeling the brunt of the inertial force from Kimimaro's body that rushed towards him from his sword through the contact with Kimimaro's bone.

(Grrr!!!)

(Grrr!!!)

(Grrr!!!)

Sounds of grinding against each other echoed throughout the battlefield where neither bone nor sword refused to give up.

"Hehe!" Kimimaro snickered, following which he started to spin around on the place he stood.

(Slash!)

(Slash!) (Slash!)

(Slash!) (Slash!) (Slash!)

Kimimaro's bone tried to tear Sasuke's skin apart but was blocked by Sasuke's Chidori stream that flashed across his body, protecting him from the bones.

"Argh!" Sasuke groaned a bit, as there were places that could not be protected and started to bleed.

Kimimaro became a bit happy upon seeing his technique having an effect on his opponent's body.

("Looks like I have no choice but to use it…") Sasuke thought, following which Sasuke closed his eyes for a few seconds.

("What is he doing?") Kimimaro thought.

————————————————————

A few meters away….

Naruto stared at Orochimaru who had trouble gaining his breath.

"Will you give up on destroying The Hidden Leaf?" Naruto asked.

"Hmph!" Orochimaru let out a discontent sound.

Naruto frowned at Orochimaru's gesture following which he raised his hands.

(Buk!)

(Buk!) (Buk!)

(Buk!) (Buk!) (Buk!)

Small sounds of bubbles popping up were heard.

Orochimaru looked towards Naruto to see small balls of red and blue chakra were gathered around Naruto's hand.

Naruto then commanded all the balls to join up into one small black sphere…

("Such a dense amount of concentrated chakra?")

("This whole area will be vaporized if it were to be released…") Orochimaru thought as he brought his two hands near his mouth and bit on it.

< Mini-Tailed Beast Bomb! >

Naruto launched the small black blob of highly concentrated Chakra at Orochimaru.

< Triple Rashomon! >

(BOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Naruto saw the incredible blast radius that was created by the tiny Beast Bomb….

————————————————————

Somewhere in the sky…..

"Would you look at that!" Deidara admired the explosion that was set off by Naruto.

"That's Art, my man!" Deidara declared as he turned towards Sasori.

"Whatever…" Sasori ignored Deidara as he continued to observe the battles.

————————————————————

Rasa stared at the Third Kazekage who got resurrected from being blasted to smithereens.

"Ra.."

"sa…" The Third Kazekage mumbled a bit before becoming emotionless once again.

Rasa felt a bit sad upon seeing the Third Kazekage trying to regain control of himself, Killing the emotions did not completely kill the Kazekage's thought process.

Rasa could only imagine the amount of pain the Third Kazekage was feeling as he tried to fight it out with his junior…

("Damn it!")

("Orochimaru!")

("I swear I will make you pay for this!") Rasa thought as he raised his golden sand once again to face the Third Kazekage.

The Third Kazekage raised his hands following which, the iron sand in the area started to gather in front of him..

Hah! The Third Kazekage brought his hands together, following which the Iron Sand morphed into geometric shapes.

Rasa controlled the golden sand to form under his feet…

Soon the golden sand formed into a stable platform for Rasa to ride on, which Rasa used to take off the ground.

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!)

A pyramid, cuboid and a sphere chased after Rasa who was flying on the golden sand.

Rasa increased the speed of the sand, thus increasing the distance between himself and the iron shapes.

Hah!

The Third Kazekage increased his supply of Chakra to make the shapes chase faster…

(Whoosh!) The pyramid tried to attack Rasa, only to be blocked by a giant blob of Golden Dust.

What the Third Kazekage did not notice was, his techniques were chasing after a clone of Rasa, meanwhile… the real one was hiding behind a small dune, crouching down on the ground with both palms placed on the sand.

("Looks like I have gathered enough water…") Rasa thought as he looked at the sky to see his clone heading towards where he was…

"NOW!!!" The clone shouted following which Rasa formed a series of hand seals.

< Water Release - Water Blade Technique! >

Rasa announced upon which a column of underground water raised into the air.

Rasa brought his hands together following which, the water compressed into a water blade and flew towards the incoming Iron Pyramid.

(BOOMMMM!!!!!)

The Iron Pyramid got destroyed to pieces.

("It worked!") Rasa thought as he looked at the pieces of the Iron Pyramid…

Meanwhile, the other two shapes chased after the clone.

The Water Release - Water Blade Technique is a technique where the user forms a hand seal and raises a column of underground water from beneath their feet, which takes the shape of a high-pressured water blade. If one were to take a direct hit from the blade, it would cut clean through flesh and bone. This technique is perfect for digging through bedrock without creating igniting sparks. Using hydrated calcium and volcanic rock from the underground water, the shape of this technique can also take the form of a javelin.

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!)

The Shapes chased after the clone.

< Puppet Technique - Light Shield Block! >

(Bang!)

The shapes crashed against two puppets which held a shield made of Chakra.

"I'm here!" Granny Chiyo announced as she entered the battlefield.
