Yugito Akkipuden Episode 11: The Land of Lightning
WARNING: All Jutsu are in Japanese with the English Version in parenthesis.
Author's Note: Utada's Battalion marches to the Land of Lightning! The battle is right around the corner!
The battalion had made it to the body of water they needed to get to. Utada, Sai and other Shinobi and Kunoichi are using their own means of flying to carry the other battalion members. Utada, of course, was using multiple sand platforms to carry the troops that hand no way to fly; Sai was carried several dozen people on his ink birds.
Sai: Captain, I see the Land of Lightning's Coastline.
Utada: Alright. Everyone, land on the beach.
The battalion swooped in and landed on the beach of the Land of Lightning. There was a squad of five on the beach awaiting their arrival.
Sai: Omoi!
He jumped down from his ink bird and approached Omoi. Omoi still had his short, spiky, white hair but his attire slightly changed. For the most part, he's got on the same outfit, but he now wears a black, overlong shirt with a hood and sleeves that stops a little past the elbow. Instead of his red bandage hand guards, he now wears bandages on his wrists.
Sai: Omoi, we're the battalion Raikage-sama requested.
Omoi: We've been waiting for you.
Utada: I apologize for keeping you waiting, Omoi-sama.
Omoi: And what is your name, soldier?
Utada: Utada of the Sand. I am Captain of this battalion.
Omoi: Ah! Utada! The Kazekage's son. I haven't seen you in a while! I almost didn't recognize you.
Kankurō: Omoi-san!
Omoi: Kankurō! It's been a while! Haha!
Kakashi: Uh, Omoi? Maybe we should get them to the village first?
Omoi: Right.
Kakashi's attire hasn't changed much either due to war time. He wears his common war outfit as seen in Shippuden.
Might Guy: To the Hidden Cloud!
Rock Lee: Yes, Guy sensei! Shall we lead everyone in a dash for the village?!
Guy: Yes! Let us lead the lot of 'em!
Rock Lee and Guy's attires haven't changed at all either.
Samui: Is there any way you two can calm down?
After 8 long years of trying to reverse the effects of the Benihisago (Crimson Gourd), the Kumogakure was finally able to free Atsui and Samui along with many others that were trapped within the gourd. Sadly enough, Atsui died one year ago during siege on the Iwagakure.
Guy: Calm down?! My Flame of Youth has not yet been cooled!
Kakashi (thinking): 57 years old with 16 year old mindset. Guy still hasn't changed.
Lee: Woo hoo! Let us run through the wind!
Guy and Lee darted off to the village, travelling several meters per second.
Kakashi (scratching the back of his head): Heh heh. I apologize for those two. They just don't know when to settle down.
Samui: Omoi, let's get back to the village. Darui-sama is awaiting their arrival.
Omoi: You got it.
Kakashi: Let's go then.
Utada: Battalion! To the Kumogakure!
Battalion: Yes, sir!
The all began running to the village.
~Konohagakure, Hokage Office
Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru were busy discussing issues of the war and issues within the village.
Sakura: Ino-chan, try contacting Utada's battalion again.
She did the Seal of Confrontation and focused.
Shikamaru: I'm sure that Utada's battalion will make it. That battalion is packed full of powerful Shinobi, each with their own special skill.
Sakura: That's true.
Ino: I think they're out of my range.
Sakura: Damn… Well… I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. How is reconstruction going?
Shikamaru: The Kyuubi did do some damage, but we estimate that the village is at about 86%. We're moving rather quickly.
Sakura: Excellent. I've been doing paper work in this office all day. I wouldn't mind an hour break. *sigh* But never mind my personal needs. How is the hospital holding up?
Ino: Everything there is going great. The numbers of fatalities from the Kyuubi's attack was at a bare minimum.
Sakura (thinking): Great job, Naruto. You did your job in protecting the village perfectly. Barely anyone got hurt. You're power is to be compared with Hashirama's...
Just then, a young, Jōnin level man rushed into the Hokage's Office. It was one of Ino's clansmen, Kenchi Yamanaka.
Sakura: Kenchi? Are you alright?
Kenchi (out of breath): Word… from… Kumogakure! Directly from Shī, Raikage-sama's top Sensory Ninja. Utada's battalion made it!
Shikamaru: Excellent news!
Sakura: Shannaro (Cha)! I hope Hayate and Seiji made it with them.
~Kumogakure
Hayate looked at the village in awe and saw large differences between the Konohagakure and Kumogakure. Seiji tapped him on his shoulder and got his attention. Shinobi and Kunoichi casually dispersed and began to blend in with everyone in the village. The village already had some Sunagakure ninja and Konohagakure ninja before Utada's battalion got there.
Hayate: This is a pretty awesome village, but it's not home. Hmm.
Hayate, Seiji, Asuka, Kota, Shikoku, Kenta and Izumi with Kiyoshi all stayed together in a group and explored the village.
Izumi: Damn… this village is huge.
Seiji (to Asuka): Hey, I can show you around if you want.
Asuka: Hmm… I'd like that. Come on.
She grabbed his hand and playfully pulled him away from the group.
Seiji: Uh... okay!
Hayate (thinking): Ah… So she's the one.
As Seiji and Asuka walked away, a group of Sunagakure Shinobi and Kunoichi stopped in front of them. They could tell what village they were from by their armor. The girl in front seemed to be the leader. She wore the standard Sunagakure attire complete with bandages shins. She also has the Kekkei Genkai Shakuton or "Scorch Release" that she inherited from Pakura of the Scorch Release, her mother's sister or her Aunt.
Shikoku: Hey, what's up?
? (female): Hey.
Shikoku: I'm guessing you five will be on the battlefield with us tomorrow?
? (same girl): You guessed right. I'm Rise (pronounced Re-say). That's Mako–
Mako: Hi. How's it goin'?
Mako carries a black War Fan, much like Temari, and has mastered Fūton at the young age of 17. She was wearing the standard Sunagakure attire; a black, long-sleeved shirt and matching pants. She also had on the trademark beige colored Flak Jacket with shoulder protectors and had bandages around her shins.
Rise: Kūryū–
Kūryū: Yo.
Kūryū is a 19 year old, Jōnin level Shinobi. He wore the exact same black suit and beige Flak Jacket that his father, Kankurō, wore during the Fourth Great Shinobi World War (complete with the black hood the covered his entire head) and was wearing red face paint. He has a red line going across his face, just under his nose and has a line on the left and right of his cheek going downward from the line under his nose. He also had a straight red line going horizontally across his eyes like Kankurō did at the Five Kage Summit. He's even a puppet master like his father. The only exception to him is that he only uses one puppet called Akaoni or "Red Demon or Devil". He keeps it wrapped up in bandages and on his back like PTS Kankurō did with his puppet Crow.
Rise: Hikomaru–
Hikomaru: WOO HOOO! What's up guys?!
Hikomaru was a unique 20 year old, Jōnin level Shinobi. He's got very noticeable spiky orange hair and a loud, happy-go-lucky attitude, always happy and excited (even if there's nothing to be excited for). He wore the regular Sunagakure attire but made slight modifications to it. The first noticeable feature of his attire is that he removed the shoulder protectors from his Flak Jacket. He wears an orange, tattered sash around his waist and has three white laces on each forearm. He wore black gloves that revealed his fingers and word loose fitting black trousers to match his long sleeve shirt. Another unique feat of Hikomaru is his orange and red electric guitar that he carries on his back via orange strap. He's the founder of the new Ninjutsu nature called Onton. By strumming his electric guitar, he can fuse his chakra with the sound or sound waves and through the use of Fūton and In'yōton (Yin/Yang Release), he can attack his opponents with booming sound to do physical damage or damage the opponents mind with Genjutsu. In some cases, he even uses his electric guitar as blunt object for Bukijutsu (Weapon Techniques).
Rise: And this is Sanji. He's the youngest in our group. He's only 14.
Sanji is a Chūnin level Shinobi and wears a long-sleeved, long white cloak that stops at mid-thigh and has a chin-high collar. He wears a light beige colored Flak Jacket and has his forehead protector plate stitched on his right shoulder. He has straight, grey hair that touched his neck and silver eyes with a black pupil along with pale skin. He is the only known user of the Kekkei Genkai "Garaton" or Glass Release. It is unknown to everyone outside of his village, but Gaara and a few others have witnessed his prowess and estimate that he has Raiton and the ability to control sand. They get this hypothesis from the fact that if sand is in contact with lightning for too long, it will turn to glass. It is not confirmed as to whether he has Raiton or the ability to control sand, but his ability with his Kekkei Genkai are so great, that he doesn't need additional chakra natures.
Hayate: I'm Hayate Haruno. This is Izumi Inuzuka, Kenta Akimichi, Kota and Shikoku Nara. Asuka Mitarashi and Seiji just went off somewhere.
?: Hayate-kun!
Hayate: Lee-san?
Hayate looked around and Han Lee along with Hitomi and Toshiro Aburame landed in front of them from the roof of a building.
Han Lee: Hayate-kun. Lord Raikage wants all Chūnin level Shinobi and Kunoichi to gather in the Ceremonial Quarters behind the gardens!
Hayate: Where's that?
He just remembered that Asuka and Seiji ran off together.
Hayate (thinking): Dammit! Where are those two?
~Seiji and Asuka, roaming the Kumogakure
Asuka: This village is so big!
Seiji (thinking): That's what she said.
Asuka: It's awesome here!
Seiji: Hm. I'll bet ryō that you didn't know that I'm from this village.
Asuka: *gasps* You were a Kumo Shinobi?
Seiji: Well… I lived here before I moved to the Konoha eight years ago. So I wasn't a Shinobi, I was in the Kumogakure Ninja Academy at the time.
Asuka: Why did you move away?
Seiji: I'd… rather not talk about it.
Asuka: It's okay. I understand.
Hitomi: Down there!
Hitomi, Hayate and Rise jump down from the rooftops and landed behind them. She had her Byakugan activated, but once they found them, she deactivated it.
Hayate: Seiji-kun, Asuka-chan. Raikage-sama wants everyone to gather in the Ceremonial Quarters. Come on.
Seiji nodded and the four darted through the village. Rise stood there and watched them run off.
Rise: Hmph. Glad I'm a Jōnin.
~Ceremonial Quarters
All Chūnin from all of the Allied Shinobi Forces' villages were gathered in one area and they were facing a rock structure that was being used as a stage. They were all murmuring amongst themselves.
Seiji: What's this about?
Hayate: Not sure. It's probably about the battle tomorrow.
Izumi (whispering): Quiet guys. It's the Godaime Raikage!
Seiji looked up and Darui was before the Chūnin on the rock structure. He still had on the standard Kumogakure Flak Jacket with a high-collared black shirt underneath, loose fitting pants and bandages on his wrists. One major difference is that he now wore a long, white haori, similar to Raikage Ei's. But, his was decorated by black lightning motifs on the edges, much like Minato Namikaze's haori which was decorated in orange flame-like motifs on the edges. His haori also had the three symbol kanji for "Black Lightning" going vertically down the center of his back. He didn't have his foldable cleaver-like sword with equipped on his back like usual.
Darui: I'm sure you all know what's going on tomorrow. The Hakai Guntai is launching an attack on this village. If they manage to defeat us, then we'll have one less village on our side. Our military potential here surpasses the Konohagakure and Sunagakure, but we never know what the Hakai Guntai have up their sleeves. And I'm sure the last thing any of you want is to lose this war and become prisoners of war.
All Chūnin remained silent. Darui had to be frank with them. This war has been going on for a little over three years and a small amount of Chūnin have actually seen battle. The Allied Forces kept the Chūnin in and out of battle on and off because they wanted to keep them as reserves and mainly for village defense.
Darui: Right now, I'd like to go over tomorrow's battle plans with you. And I'll start by introducing the new Junior Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces. My son will be leading the Surprise Attack Unit tomorrow and his sister will be second-in-command.
Hayate (thinking): I wonder who his daughter and son are.
Just then, two ninja that Hayate and Seiji haven't seen in ages walked forth.
Darui: Their cousin will also be accompanying them.
Dee, Tarui and their cousin Kamui was standing before the Chūnin in a straight line, Dee in the middle, Tarui on the right, and Kamui on the left.
Hayate: What?!
Seiji: Dee and Tarui are royalty?!
Hayate and Seiji looked at each then back at their new Commanders.
Shikoku: Kamui is there cousin? Who would've guessed?
He's right. Nobody would've guessed that she was their cousin. She was fair skinned and they were both brown skinned.
Darui: Now, for two very large assets to the Allied Shinobi Forces. The disciple of the late Bee-sama and the youngest host of the Nibi (Two Tailed Beast), Bee and Midori!
Shoji energetically ran out onto the rock structure like her was the star at a concert and Midori casually walked up behind him.
Bee or "Shoji" (rapping): It be me, Bee Numbuh 2! Gonna show you what I can do, foo' ya foo!
Midori: Bee and I are the only two Jinchūriki in the Land of Lightning as of now. We'll make sure nothing happens to you kiddies.
Shoji adopted the name "Bee Number 2" as villagers and fellow academy students called him at a young age, showing the same charisma, energy and likability as Killer Bee.
Toshiro: Bee Number 2, huh? He's got the same characteristics of Killer Bee, so I guess it's a suiting name.
Darui: These two extremely skillful Jinchūriki will be in charge of defending the village tomorrow. Their ability to fully transform into their Bijū is extremely useful defensive prowess to defend the village with.
Izumi: I get the feeling that we're going to lose a lot of our own tomorrow…
Han Lee: Nonsense! Do not think like that, Izumi-chan!
Kota: We'll fight hard and win the battle no matter what.
Kenta: Nothing will defeat us!
Izumi: You're right guys. I shouldn't think so negatively about tomorrow. We will never give in to the Hakai Guntai! No matter how grim the situation!
Han Lee: That's the spirit!
All Chūnin began chiming in and cheering for victory tomorrow. Darui crossed his arms and nodded his head in approval.
Darui (thinking): This generation is looking very promising.
Hayate (thinking): As long as we prepare for tomorrow's battle ahead of time, and get a good strategy, there's no way we can lose! Hmm!
