Shorter chapter than the past few, but I decided to try to stick to the original 4-5 page limit xd Sorry for the long two-and-a-half week hiatus xd
The 6th Great Ninja War
Chapter XVIII: Three-Way Blazing Assault!
In the secret training area under Kirabi’s desk, Gats and Kiwii stood across from each other, panting, exhausted from sparring. It was almost completely dark, only lit by approximately 3 candles which dimly lit the sewage-like setting. Gats held a kunai firmly in his right hand, and Kiwii held several shuriken in his right hand. Kiwii was injured to a great extent, unlike Gats.
Gatsndshanks: You’re not so good at this training, are you? Even when I started, I was way better than you :|
Kiwii: Shut up! You’ve had more time to train in here than I have!
Gatsndshanks: Mastering the dark nature of the elements is difficult. If you can’t do it before you leave here, you’ll lose your ability to use chakra. Your wind affinity isn’t that well suited for this training, but if you can manage to pull it off, its destructive power will become incredibly great. :|
Kiwii: Alrighty…
Kiwii formed a single hand seal and shot from his mouth a pressurized sphere of wind that Gatsndshanks easily dodged by jumping over it. Gatsndshanks rushed Kiwii, sliding as he got within close-range and tripping Kiwii, at which he immediately grabbed Kiwii by the leg and flipped him over his head, causing him to land harshly on the watery floor.
Gatsndshanks: Is that all you got?
Kiwii: >.< *charges*

Outside of the Hall, Kaito’s statue cracked and Caliburn’s disappeared.
Goro: Caliburn won! O_O
Elias and Yoshino stood parallel to Ali, approximately twelve meters apart. They locked eyes. The wind blew softly, blowing a few leaves off the trees. Yoshino sighed, blowing smoke through his nostrils despite the lack of a pipe. His tail flicked back and forth. Elias focused solely on Ali, and as the last leaf fell, he darted off toward his target. Ali grasped his sword and waved it at Elias, unleashing a violent blast of fire at Elias. Elias, keeping momentum, simply slashed his hand through the blast horizontally, wiping it away. Some fire flared past him from around his body but did not affect him in any way. Elias spun 360 degrees around, one foot on the ground pivoting with each quick turn, and as he came around, he punched Ali square in the face, sending him flying into a tree. Elias flicked his hand to the side, hopping up in down excitedly.
Elias: Get up so I can beat you down again.
Ali stood up from the tree remains, which were burning from Elias’s punch impact. He slid his hand across the blade of his sword.
Ali: Sword of Hell Fire…Hell Fire Release: Hell Fire Conversion.
Elias: Finally getting serious…good.
Ali: Fire Release: Overheat!!
Ali put his hand up at Elias and took aim carefully. At the moment Elias moved a single muscle, Ali released a giant burst of concentrated dark red hell fire headed for Elias. The surrounding trees started to dry up and burn from the resonating heat of the blast. Elias held his two arms up, in a shielding manner.
Elias: Dark Fire Shield!
Instantly, a large, square shield of black fire rose up from nowhere and protected Elias from the Hell Fire, re-directing all of the colliding fire to the sides of the shield as if it were a dense, heat-resistant metal. Ace, Hiruzen, and Goro dispersed rampantly in panic. Goro leaped into a tree and watched closely from there. After a few seconds hiding behind the shield, Elias lowered it, but was met with an immediate blast of incoming fire that was too close to be avoided or blocked. Elias’ eyes widened, but he was suddenly pulled by something underground. His hands, however, thrown into the air by the quickness of the pull, were badly damaged by the fire. Ali’s eyes shifted quickly and his 3-tomoe sharingan activated. He shifted immediately to his right, 124 degrees. Yoshino and Elias rose out of the ground, almost as if merged with the earth itself, until they were completely above ground.
Elias: Thanks…*pant*
Yoshino: You’re hurt.
Elias took one disheartened glance at his hands. They were burnt nearly as black as charcoal. He shook his head.
Elias: I’m fine. Like Bsama always says: Mind over Body. *breathes* Yoshino, can you wrap my bandages around my hands. Here…
Yoshino: Of course.
Yoshino took Elias’s bandages and cut two pieces, both enough to cover Elias’s hands completely and extend down to his elbow while still leaving a strip of it fluttering freely. Elias clenched both fists and blood soaked into the bandage cloth. He took another deep breath and then ran to Ali. As he rushed, Elias pulled on the loose strip of cloth on his right arm-bandage to tighten it so that he could get a more forceful connection, but Ali caught his punch timely and flipped Elias over his head, cutting off Elias’ arm as Elias flew over him and slamming Elias’ body onto the ground violently. Ali crushed the disembodied arm in his hand and caused it to turn to ash. He turned again and swung his sword in a sweeping slash motion toward the ground, releasing devastating amounts of hell fire in the small area where Elias was, but when it cleared, Ali realized he had missed. Nothing was left in Elias’ place but burned grass. He searched with his sharingan and found Elias on the floor a great distance away from him with Yoshino holding him, setting him gently down. Elias stood up resiliently, blood spilling from his arm.
Elias: That didn't go as planned...
Ali: O_O Wow. Your willpower is better than anything I could’ve imagined. To force yourself to stand with your arm cut off, I should give you more credit, but then again, I hate you.
Elias: *pant* *pant* Yoshino…can you take him?
Yoshino: I think so. His hell fire’s quite troublesome. You should stay out of this fight. I need to unleash all my power for this one.
Elias: No…I’ve got a plan to end this quickly.
Yoshino: Are you sure you can do anything in your condition?
Elias: It’s okay. I am the fire Sage after all. I’ll use my ultimate technique.
Hiruzen: Ugh! Why are they even doing this? This would’ve been over now if we were battling. What’s the point of a Fire vs. Fire fight?
Ace: I guess it’s about retaining honor. Ali challenged Elias-san in the first place. It’d be rude of us to interfere.
Hiruzen: Hmph! Goro’s Abysmal Water is a much better match against that Hell Fire. Hell, even I could have ended it by now. That I'm sure of. I’m tired of waiting.
Goro: Relax, Hiruzen. If Elias goes down, Yoshino-san will need us anyway. Let’s just chill and watch.
Hiruzen folded his arms and pouted, dropping himself on the ground childishly.
Hiruzen: >.<' I've got a secret jutsu that could take care of Ali.
Yoshino sighed and formed one hand seal.
Yoshino: Fire Release: Blaze Ball!
Yoshino spit a huge, meteor-sized sphere of compact fire at Ali, who smirked as it raged on toward him. Ali held his sword in front of him with both hands and released an arrow-like shape from of fire from the tip of the blade, cutting right through the sphere as it and the blade collided. When the entire fire sphere had been dealt with, Ali raised one eyebrow. Yoshino was no longer in the same place. Elias was there, forcing blood onto the ground and drawing a unique, large summoning circle with a diameter of 6 feet with his foot. He formed the mark of a salamander in the center. Ali prepared to blast Elias when he heard a voice.
Yoshino: Hey!! Let us see how you deal with this.
Yoshino chained together hand seals rapidly and then opened his mouth.
Yoshino: Katon! Typhon Zetsumei Gekido! (Typhon Death Rage)
Yoshino spit out a huge fireball of deadly flames that hurled towards Ali. The flame, as it approached Ali, suddenly spawned thousands of elongating snakes of fire that stretched outward towards Ali from every single angular direction. Ali gazed in astonishment. He shook his head and regained composure. Ali swiped his sword at the first snake head of fire and cut it off with his blade, then he struck at the next three, succeeding also. Ali slashed left and right, up and down, side to side, cutting of each head with great precision and excellent speed. Several serpent heads made it past Ali, but missed him overall. Ali began to exhaust himself, as there were far too many fire-spawns for him to continue decapitating. Eventually, Ali leaped back and charged his sword for a split second, unleashing ludicrous amounts of fire from the hilt upward. Then, he swung the sword down and his hell fire overtook the Typhon Death Rage when the two attacks collided, but as the flames dispersed, there was a contained explosion in the center of the two attacks that knocked Ali back into a tree. Hiruzen and Ace fell off the branches which they were standing on and Goro held on by one hand only. Yoshino was in complete awe. Suddenly, the commotion settled.
Ali: What a pain in the ass
Yoshino: Impossible! That jutsu…it’s a forbidden technique that has never been completely defeated! How could he beat my ultimate fire jutsu?! How?!
Ali: Tch…stupid monkey.
Yoshino: You little…
Elias: Yoshino! Relax…………I’m done.
Elias practically threw himself to the ground, his left arm out in front to catch him before his body hit the ground, in the center of the circle. His left hand bled as it was still severely injured, but his palm had successfully touched over the salamander drawing in blood.
Elias: Kuchiyose: Kagutsuchi! (Summoning: God of Fire)
