‘W-what’s happening?’ Naruto said to himself. His brows furrowed in confusion. He was sure he heard a woman’s voice from behind him, seconds ago.
“Aren’t you glad to see me again, Naruto?”Minato asked the startled Naruto. “There is something that I have forgotten to tell you, my son.”
Suddenly, Naruto notices Sasuke running toward them. His hands were filled with lightning flashes as he gathers his chakra into his palm and created the chidori.
“Sasuke, wait!” With a short dash forward, Naruto shoved Minato out of the way to intercede Sasuke’s attack. Minato, a little off balanced managed to stride aside to Naruto’s left and Sasuke halted immediately.
‘Huh! Something is not right here’ Sasuke said in his thoughts. ’Sharinggan!’ He went on and activated his Sharingan eye.
‘Wait?! Haven’t I activated my sharingan already at the start of this battle?!’ Alarmed with the irregularities taking place, Sasuke started to think and recall all the details of the battle as fast as he could.
“Pay attention when I’m talking to you, Naruto!” Minato said in a commanding voice. And before Naruto could turn around to face him, he felt a deep pain as Minato’s knees sunk in to his abdomen.
“Ghack!” Naruto squalled as he bent over in pain. In a blink of an eye, Minato’s elbow struck his nape before he could know.
“Ungh!” He groaned. Naruto pained and puzzled started falling down to the ground.
Estranged by his father’s actions, Naruto rolled forward before hitting the ground to avoid any more attacks from him. But before he could get up, Minato’s toes hit his chin sending him flipping backward and be swept meters away.
“And you call yourself a hero?” Minato said towering over Naruto. His eyes fired in rage with the intent to kill him. “Get up and fight like a man!”
Minato raised his right feet to strike Naruto again. But Naruto was able to dodge it this time! He created a shadow clone of him and let it drag him out from under Minato. Shaking on his knees, Naruto faces his father in confusion.
“D-dad. Why are you doing this?”
“I’m sorry son but I have to. Within you is a power that can destroy our world. You are a weapon that needs to be destroyed.”
Naruto’s eyes widened upon hearing Minato’s reason. He could not believe what he is hearing. They now stand about 5 meters apart. To his right, 10 meters away, is Sasuke; silently standing and probably making up a plan.
‘Will Sasuke help him and kill his dad?’ Naruto ran questions in his mind. ‘He can’t allow Sasuke to kill his dad, but – his dad wants him dead. Why? Why the sudden change of mind? Didn’t he just say that he believed in him? That he will be the key to the peace in this hate-filled ninja world?’
“I-I don’t understand.” Naruto looked into Minato’s eyes and begged for an explanation.
“Naruto!!!” Sasuke yelled out loud. From where he stands, he could see Naruto going down on his knees. His eyes closed, and pain could be seen all over his face. He dashed toward him in a hurry and placed his hand on Naruto’s shoulder
.
“Huh?!” Sasuke’s eyes widened as he behold the figure in front of him.
Hovering behind Minato is a figure that’s like five times taller than he is. Clad in a cream-white robe that covers down to his feet, floating about a meter above the ground. Its white thick hair ruffled around his head like a lion’s mane and flowed down to the front, beyond his shoulders. A knife was held in his mouth and his long white hair suspended the summoner’s soul.
“D-death God?!” Sasuke clenched his fist in horror but held and maintained his proud composure. In result, his eyes flared in rage while he witnessed the death god’s hand buried into Naruto’s abdomen. Fixing his eyes on Minato, he gathered lightning charges in his right hand and as soon as his chidori was ready, he leaped high up from the ground and thrust it on to Minato.
“Saa-su-kee! Nooo!!!” Naruto, straining to speak cried out for Sasuke to stop. But Sasuke ignored his call and thrust his chidori to Minato while he was off guard concentrating with the Death God summoning technique. The death god vanished in a smoke and when the smoke cleared out, what stood before them was none other than Shin.
Shin stared back at Sasuke and pushed him with a wind technique that she manipulated from her palms. Thrown back to where Naruto is, Sasuke immediately grabbed Naruto close to him and whispered into his ear. Wide eyed, Naruto agreed with a nod.
“Yosh! Let’s do this, Sasuke!”
With that, Sasuke gathered up his chakra and released a huge burst of fire fireball.
“Katon! Zukokku”
[Katon Zokokku: Intense pain fire technique. A huge burst of fire that turns into a huge fireball and can cover a large area, burning everything that it passes by. Credits to NBRP Justsus]
“Huh?!” Surprised with the incoming attack, Shin was caught off guard. They were supposed to direct their attack at a direction 5 meters, 2 o’clck from her instead of from where she stands.
Immediately after that, Naruto released a huge blast of wind into Sasuke’s fire making the fire technique stronger and intensely hot. The fire turned white with its extremely high temperature and was revolving with a tremendously high speed toward their target.
Instantly manipulating a defense, Shin performed a spinning wall of water to counter the spinning fire - wind combination technique.
“Now, Naruto!” Sasuke signaled Naruto and they both dash toward the colliding fireball-wind rasengan combination and Shin’s spinning wall of water.
Sasuke then shot a ball of fire toward Naruto while he shot Sasuke back with an equally strong gale of wind. The collision created a hot air balloon concept and immediately, Naruto kicked into it and he went flying high up above the spinning wall of water, fire, and wind collision.
“Rasengan!” Naruto dived in to the center of the colliding techniques and thrusts his rasengan to the confident Shin.
Shin was pushed down to the ground while the spinning colliding technique vanished into thin air. Naruto bounced back to a safer distance and stood beside Sasuke. Both panting from the combo plan that they just did.
“Ha!” Naruto excitedly cried in victory.
“Not so fast, Naruto.” Sasuke disputed to Naruto’s surprise. “This battle has just begun for real.”
“What?!”Naruto’s eyes widened as he began to see and understand what Sasuke is talking about.
* * * * *
Sakura and Sai back against back with each other put theirselve together up again after the scropions, which have just crumbled to pieces awhile ago, are now beginning to regenerate.
“Just what the hell is going on?!”Sakura exclaimed. “Are they putting up their selves together again?
“It seems like it…Now, what the – dodge, Sakura!” Sai replied with a warning when a stream of fire came flowing out from the red crimson scorpion’s mouth.
“Not just me, Sai!” Sakura yelled almost at the same time to Sai when a bolt of lightning just surged out from the death black scorpion facing her.
“Ugh! These creatures just got better! They’re firing up lightning and fire this time?”
“Right on that, Sakura. They were just using chakra blows that first time we fought them.”
They both rolled over to the same direction when they dodged the fire and lightning blows from the scorpion.
“Now what?!?!” Standing still with back against the other, Sai and Sakura chorused in surprise while they see the scorpions scamper down toward them into thousands of regular sized scorpions.
Sai immediately painted an eagle and grabbed Sakura into it as it seemed like the only means of escape was the air. And yet their surprise did not end that way. As the thousands of regular sized death black and crimson red scorpions meet up in the middle, they joined in together and became one!
“And it just got a lot bigger, this time!” Sakura hailed with a low tone.
“Oh shit!” Sai cried just as the red and black scorpion’s tail hit his eagle, turning it back to ink before they could ascend to a higher height. Sakura and Sai fell hard to the ground, 5 meters away from the red and black scorpion.
“Looks like we just have to face this ugly faced creature, ha Sakura?
“Right! … Sha-na-ro!” Sakura once again punched into the ground this time and caused huge chunks of spear-shaped earth rocks from underneath the scorpion.
“This is total madness!!!” Sakura frustrating exclaimed. Every time one of those spear-shaped earth rocks hit a part of the scorpion, it breaks that part to pieces and yet as the scorpion continues to move toward them; those pieces come back together again.
“We need a plan!” Sakura dragged Sai down into the ground and out they come from behind a boulder. Panting, Sakura and Sai rested their backs and head against the large boulder.
“So, the scorpions seem to have some kind of a regenerating technique?” Sakura stated in between her breaths.
“I think not.” Sai finally said after a moment of silence. “The scorpions are not real summoning creatures.”
“What do you mean?”
“There!” Sai pointed out the scorpion as they peeked from behind the boulder.”Notice how it glistens against the sun. Remember how they sparkle against the sun when they broke into pieces.”
“Hmm…” Sakura started thinking and after a few seconds, “It’s made of crystals?”
“Ice crystals, I believe.” Sai concorded. “Kakashi-sensei mentioned that Saburo can use Ice Release technique. He is manipulating ice crystals by turning them into what we think as summoned creatures.”
“Then, what about the summoning hand seals and all? He’s just –“
“Faking it, yes.” Sai intercepted. “But it’s not just that.”
“There’s more?”
“Look far beyond Naruto and Sasuke. Saburo is actually busy controlling Arashi’s mind. While the crystals gather up together, there was a stream of chakra flow from somewhere to the south. I suspect that there is something that’s controlling it to keep it going while Saburo concentrates in controlling Arashi.”
“All right then, we go find this control, destroy it, and eliminate the regenerating process of the scorpion.”
“Right!” Sai said. “Now, you distract the scorpions while I go find the source. I think I knew where it is.”
“Okay! Good luck to the two of us!” Sakura said while she revealed herself out of the boulder, ready to distract to proceed with her plans. Sai slipped off from hidding and out into the direction where he thought the control was.
END OF CHAPTER IV
Naruto and Sasuke's battle has just begun?!?! What does Sasuke mean by that?
Will Sakura and Sai pull through their plans without being harmed?
The next chapter would answer those questions and I was about to post it together with this one.
However, it was very short for a chapter so, I would have to delay it and include part of the ending chapter.
One more chapter to end this adventure, I think.
