Minato vs Hashirama
Location: Akatsuki hideout (Land of Rivers)
Situation: Minato is alive has intel on the Akatsuki hideout thanks to Jiraiya.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Over the earpiece radio with Konoha*
Kakashi: ~Minato sensei, are you sure about this? Jiraiya only gave you the location of their hideout.~
Minato: ~Yes, I'll be fine. This is more or less a recon mission. But if things go south, I am prepared.~
Kakashi: ~Indeed you always are.~
Minato: ~Listen Kakashi, I just arrived. I'm going into recon mode and I can't communicate anymore.~
Kakashi: ~If you need backup, just give the word.~
*Minato approaches the Akatsuki hideout a few hundred feet away from the enterance hiding behind a tree*
Minato: *I can sense several chakra's inside. One is fading fast. Which seems to be Lord Kazekage*
*Inside the cave / Akatsuki Hideout*
Deidara: Ughh, how long is this going to take again?
Sasori: What do you care? You get a break since you're the one who captured him.
Deidara: ...
Pain: Even with all of us here, it'll take approximately 3 days to extract the 1 tail from him.
Hidan: 3 days?? Ehh, too bad that Orochimaru fella isn't here. Could've sped up the time.
Pain: Orochimaru defected of his own will. His betrayal will be delt with later.
Deidara: I already called dibs on killing him.
Kakuzu: Unless I get to him first. The bounty on him will be enough for me to---
*Explosion sound from outside the cave*
Akatsuki: ?
Zetsu: It seems we have a visitor. One that made their presense purposely known.
Sasori: Let me take care of it. I'm bored stiff since I had to sit out on the last fight.
Pain: No. I can only feel 1 chakra source. I'll use my jutsu to create a diversion. Our base is compromised. Retreat is essential.
Itachi: So extraction is delayed?...
Pain: For now. I will report back to you all when it's conveniant. Sasori, Deidara, retreat.
*Akatsuki hollograms disappear*
Deidara: Guess I get my vacation a little early.
Sasori: Quiet, the leader said retreat. Let's do just that.
*Deidara and Sasori disappear with a transportation jutsu*
*Pain raises a seal titled "1st" on the front*
Pain: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu(Outer Path — Sa?sara of Heavenly Life Technique)
*The 1st Hokage (Hashirama Senju) emerges from smoke*
Hashirama: Where am I??....How am I alive? Actually alive!! How did you--
*Pain uses a hand sign to bind Hashirama to his command*
Pain: There is an intruder outside. Kill him.
Hashirama: ....Understood.
*Pain's hollogram disappears*
*The cave's front boulder rises revealing an enterance*
*Hashirama walks outside*
Minato: !!
Hashirama: ....
*Hashirama looks up to the sky and sighs*
Hashirama: I can feel you nearby. Just come out.
*Minato jumps down just a few yards away front Hashirama*
Hashirama: ...
Minato: Lord first?!? How?
Hashirama: I don't know. But I've been ressurected to kill you apparently.
*Hashirama notices Minato's headband*
Hashirama: Hidden leaf? Glad to see the village has thrived!!
Minato: Yes. But more importantly Lord first, who summoned you?
Hashirama: I'm being controlled against my will. I'm sorry. I can't talk anymore. Here I come!
*Hashirama bends slightly at the knees and claps his hands together*
*Minato thrusts a kunai from his pouch and raises his right foot behind him, tapping the ground lightly*
*Minato dashes with shunshin(high speed dash) speed*
Hashirama: ?!
*Minato slashes through Hashirama with one swipe passing behind him*
*Minato looks behind him*
*Hashirama's body turns to wood and falls over*
Minato: *A wood clone...*
*Wood branches shoot from underneath Minato at his legs*
*Minato slashes at the first branches and jumps away sliding and jumping off the branches*
*As Minato is falling he notcies the real Hashirama standing in the distance*
Hashirama: *He seems to have immense speed. I barely saw him move. I need to corner him.*
Hashirama: Secret Wood Style Jutsu: Deep Forest Emergence
*Trees and branches start growing and traveling from underground creating a massive forest around the location*
*Branches are chasing Minato faster than before but Minato outmaneuvers them*
*Hashirama closes in on Minato from his side, high in the trees with a katana in-hand*
*The two clash and engage in kenjutsu(weapon combat)*
*Both showing adept kenjutsu skills Minato then slides past his blade and jumps over Hashirama's shoulder*
*As he lands on Hashirama's blind spot, Hashirama spins and kicks Minato but Minato blocks with his wrists spinning backwards*
Hashirama: You're definately skilled. Frankly, I'm proud Konoha has produced such talent.
Minato: *He doesn't waste any movements. He knows I'm physically faster and plans accordingly. Although it looks like to perform his bloodline abilities, he must keep his hands intact......I'll aim for that window.*
Hashirama: I hope you find a way to defeat me. But I have no choice. I'll end this.
*Hashirama plants his sword onto the tree branch and claps his hands together*
Hashirama: !!!....
*Minato is suddenly behind Hashirama slashing upward across his back*
*Hashirama falls to his knees but keeps his hands together*
Hashirama: *coughs* It seems...you have the same transportation jutsu as my brother. Earlier.....when you jumped over me, that's when you placed a seal on my shoulder.
Minato: ....My deepest apologies Lord first. But I must know what the Akatsuki are plannin-- ....huh?
*The wound on Hashirama's back starts healing exceedingly fast*
Hashirama: Unfortunately, physical attacks can't harm me....
*Hashirama enters Sage mode*
Hashirama: It's over.
*Hashirama quickly turns and shoots his hand toward Minato's chest.*
*Minato barely dodges by crouching sideways and goes to slice Hashirama's arm off with his kunai*
*But Hashirama blocks the attack with his other hand knocking Minato's kunai free up high in the air*
*Minato jumps back to create distance*
Minato: *Sage mode?*
*Wood again shoots from the trees straight at Minato*
*Minato teleports to his kunai high in the air and lands on a branch up high*
Hashirama: *shouting upwards* As I figured. Just like my brother, you can label items with that transportation seal too.
Minato: *I know the aspects of Sage mode. Basic Flying Raijin isn't going to work on him now. Guess I need to take it up a notch too. I need to test something first...*
Hashirama: *Even in Sage mode, this man can still react to my agility. Quite Impressive*
*Minato throws his kunai down at Hashirama*
*Hashirama easily dodges the kunai but Minato appears behind him with the kunai in-hand about to strike*
*Using his Sage mode sensory and reflexes, Hashirama guards against the kunai with his wristguard*
Hashirama: *Both of his seals are now close to me*
[One seal on Hashirama's shoulder and one on the kunai in Minato's hand]
Hashirama: Wood Style Jutsu: Wooden Lock Wall!
*A wooden dome closes over and around Hashirama and Minato, trapping both inside*
Hashirama: ....heh. Too clever.
*The wooden dome decends and Minato is gone with Hashirama looking up*
Hashirama: I guess I should expect at this point this entire forest is tagged for your jutsu, huh?
Minato: ...
[Back at Konoha]
Shizune: Kakashi, why would Lord Hokage go alone? It's too dangerous!
Shikamaru: I have to agree. It's too risky---
Kakashi: He asked for this. He has intel from Jiraiya himself. He has a plan.
Shikamaru: A plan?...To take on the entire Akatsuki? That's suicide.
Kakashi: I've known Minato sensei almost my entire life. And if you ask anyone who knew him, he was never the type to do something without reason.
[Back at the fight]
*Minato looks down on Hashirama*
Hashirama: In Sage mode, I can sense chakra. I already know that you created Shadow Clones during my last attack. Shadow Clones won't help you.
*Hashirama looks around him cautiously knowing the exact location of Minato's clones*
Hashirama: *I don't know what he's planning. He knows he's not quite fast enough to hit me while I'm in Sage mode. Better play it safe.*
*Hashirama raises one hand and makes a hand sign*
*Just then, Minato up in the trees reveals several kunai in each hand then throws them downward at Hashirama*
Hashirama: ?...
*Hashirama changes his handsign to wood element*
Hashirama: Wood Style: Laughing Buddha Jutsu
*A giant wooden hand shoots up from the ground crashing through tree branches on the way up to Hashirama in front of him to stop the kunai*
Hashirama: ?!
*Several other kunai shoot from different directions all around Hashirama at that same moment*
Hashirama: ...he plans well.....
*Minato clones surround Hashirama striking in sequence repeatedly*
*Hashirama blocks the first few attacks but slowly gets overwhelmed by the clones recieving several slashes*
*Whilst getting attacked repeatedly*
Hashirama: *yells* I told you, physical attacks won't-----uuhhhaaaaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Minato has appeared behind Hashirama in Sage mode with a Giant Ball Rasengan*
Hashirama: AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Hashirama is sent flying through trees at high speed from the force of the Rasengan*
*Right when the Rasengan is completely dispersed, Minato once again teleports in front of Hashirama and decapitates him*
*Minato lands on a branch and stands quietly while Hashirama's body and head fall to the ground below*
Minato: ...
*Minato teleports away and is later at the Akatsuki base*
Minato: *over earpiece radio* ~Kakashi. Come in.~
Kakashi: ~Lord Hokage.~
Minato: ~Get the forensics and tracking division to my position. I have their hideout. But the members have retreated.~
Kakashi: ~Yes, Lord Hokage!~
Location: Akatsuki hideout (Land of Rivers)
