Battle's End! "The Demon of the Hidden Leaves" and Ninja Reborn!
Battle's End! "The Demon of the Hidden Leaves" and Ninja Reborn!
Dante is standing on the lake watching something that would scare the toughest of warriors. His face was expressionless and calm but inside, his gut was telling him to run and escape with his life intact. He has never faced an opponent as strong or deadly before, at least not for a long time, not since he faced his leader! Dante's legs wanted to run away but he couldn't move he was transfixed at the energy output of this child, behind him Saku lied still. Senjiito looks upward at the sky as an electrical storm was forming, it grew darker as the clouds blocked out all light...all but one ray of light that was big enough to encase Saku in a warm glow... rain begins to fall as Senjiito looks at Dante once more except with a different look in his eye, not one that is evil but one of murderous intent! Dante looked deeper into Senjiito's eyes and was shocked...
Dante: (thinks) This mere child is...he is that child!
Dante's eyes widened as he realizes who he is facing...
Dante: (says) So you......you are....."The Demon of the Hidden Leaves"?!
Senjiito looks at Dante with an evil look and snarls at him. As he is looking at Dante, images of Saku fighting him surface themselves into his head...as this happens Dante notices that a lump was forming next to the other 3 tails, but it shrinks back?
Senjiito: (demonic) DON?T YOU DARE CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!
Dante blinks and suddenly feels a hot energy slam into his cheek, which knocks him sideways just less than ten meters. As Dante gains his balance paper bombs float to the surface of the water and begin to detonate. From out of the spray of water appears Dante...
Dante: (thinks) I just managed to get out of there before they exploded...
Again he feels the hot energy slam into him except this time it was his gut, as he is soaring upward at a 40 degree angle, he sees the flicker of Senjiito who knocks him down toward the water. Dante, as he is being hit uses the substitution jutsu to get away to the other side of the lake...
Senjiito: (Demonic) In this state my speed and strength have increased by at least 200% it is even more deadly than the 8 inner gates (yells) WHICH YOU FORCED SAKU TO OPEN!!!!!
Senjiito disappears and re-appears behind Dante, a ball of concentrated chakra in his palm...
Senjiito: (Demonic) RASENGAN!!!!!!
As Senjiito's Rasengan collides with Dante's back, Dante had taken the liberty of using the Shadow Clone Technique when the exploding notes went off to confuse Senjiito, now he was concealed within a tree?s branches. Senjiito was looking around, looking for the real Dante?
Senjiito: (Demonic) (thinks) No matter where you go?YOU CAN?T HIDE FROM ME!!!! (Yells) BYAKUGAN!!!!
Dante: (thinks) SHIT!!!
Dante jumps out of his hiding spot just as Senjiito lays his eyes on him, only to find that he can?t move and that he started to quiver. His eyes began to twitch as he grasped his head as a desperate attempt to stop the pain?
Dante: (thinks) Wha??what is going on?!
Dante notices that the red chakra around Senjiito had started to slowly change color from the blood red to the deepest purple and that the 3 tails had shrunk to one?
Dante: (thinks) this would be a good advantage to pay him back!
Dante speeds toward Senjiito?s paralyzed body and kicked it upward than by performing the hand signs for his next jutsu.
Dante: Water Style: Hardened Water Drill! (thinks) and I will also channel as much of my lightning chakra into the water for that little bit more damage?
A spiral of water starts rapidly spinning on Dante?s arm and little bolts of electricity emanate from it as Dante strikes Senjiito?s body, drilling it into the water?suddenly Dante feels that same energy smash into his stomach, blasting all the wind out of him and pummeling him toward the water?s edge? Senjiito lands on the water on all fours with one deep purple tail emanating from the aura around him, Dante creates a small crater next to the lakes edge. He attempts to get up and he stumbles under the blow that Senjiito had struck him, as he finally regains his balance he looks at a hand racing toward him and as the hand reaches him the fingers of it curl around him and yank him back at Senjiito who had his left fist up, ready to finish the battle for good?
Senjiito: (thinks) I don?t need the Byakugan to see how this will end! I?ll focus all of my chakra into my fist and ANNIHILATE HIM!!!!
Senjiito focuses all of the chakra he posses into his left hand, as he does this the chakra hand around Dante retreats back to Senjiito and the chakra around his fist grows a deep purple, so deep that you can?t even see his hand. At the same time Dante had the exact same idea and he starts to focus chakra into his right foot, ready for the kick of his life. Senjiito, putting everything he has got into one final punch, hits Dante right in the centre of the gut and at the same time Dante strikes Senjiito on the jaw with his right foot. Senjiito and Dante release their charkas at the same moment and Dante is sent flying for than 500 miles away?
Dante: (thinks) Damn that is gonna leave a bruise, at least I made sure that I kicked him that way!
While Dante was thinking that and blasting off, Senjiito had his own problems to think about. Since he had deactivated his Byakugan, he hadn?t noticed that Dante had readied a kick much like his punch. He also hadn?t cared enough to analyze his surrounding before he had been kicked and was now facing the problem of having to survive the biggest fall of his life, it was even worse because he had used up basically all of his chakra with that punch, now he hadn?t enough to even get a grip on the edge of the cliff?
Senjiito: (normal)(thinks) Oh man! I should always be more careful and analyze everything before storming like that! How am I gonna get out of this one? I don?t have enough chakra to get a grip on the edge, I can?t use any jutsu?but if I don?t try something than what will happen to Rei and Zanji, I will not only have failed the mission but then that means that Saku sacrificed his life for nothing!! I can?t die here, not now. I need to get back to Saku?
The deep purple chakra that had encircled Senjiito only minutes ago suddenly exploded out of every single chakra point in his body and formed a solid, floating platform underneath him which he lands on it with a thump?
Senjiito: (thinks) what in the world!? The chakra is solid! Can I stand on it??
Senjiito slowly stands up and finds out that he is able to keep his balance?
Senjiito: (says) I wonder how this is happening! Am I the one that is controlling it? Well let?s find out?
He raises his left hand and points to the ledge 10 meters upward and then slowly the platform rises up to the ledge, as he steps onto solid earth the chakra vibrates and then circles around him until it reaches all of his chakra points and then is absorbed back into his body. When all of the chakra had returned to Senjiito, he races as quickly to Saku as he could, only to see that Rei and Zanji were there, examining Saku. As Senjiito reaches them Zanji looks up?
Zanji: What the hell happened? You should know not to run off like that leaving your client like that! You lucky I don?t kill you now!...
Rei: Zanji! Stop it! This is his first real mission and it is a B-rank, give him a break and shut up I need to concentrate!...
Zanji: Yes Rei, I am sorry for my outburst?
Rei: Shhhh, anyway you shouldn?t apologize to me you should apologize to him, now be quite both of you!
She starts a series of handsigns...
Rei: Neko, Tokage, Wani, Kouchuu, Ushi, Mi, Inu, Ne, Tori, U, Tatsu, Batto, Ne, Batto, Neko! Art of the Crescent Moon: Life Restoration Jutsu!!!
Rei places her hands over Saku's heart and a bright glow exploded from her hands forcing Zanji and Senjiito to look away. The light expanded until every inch of Saku's body was covered with a soft, moonlight color. About Five minutes later Senjiito notices that one of Saku's fingers had begun to twitch and then suddenly the light disappears and Saku sit's up quickly...
Saku: (painfully) I'm sore!
Meanwhile, at the Ranmyaku's Hideout
Holographical images of Sin and Devi are before BiBi who is holding up her palm with a small sphere of blood floating above it...
BiBi: The owner of this blood shall be the Replacement of our departed member...
Sin: Who's blood is that, Mistress?
An unknown voice answers her question...
Unknown Ninja: It is mine...
The figure steps out of the shadow and reveals himself...
Devi: Is that...?
Sin: It is an honour!
Standing next to BiBi with a serious look on his face was... Itachi Uchiha!
