Yugito Akkipuden Episode 10: Stalled
WARNING: All Jutsu are in Japanese with the English Version in parenthesis.
Author's Note: Suna no Utada's (Utada of the Sand) Battalion is on the move! What's Yugito learning from Naruto's old scrolls?!
Sai, Asuka, Kitsune, Iyasu and Moegi made it back to the rest of the battalion with grim news.
Sai: Captain Utada!
Utada: What's wrong?
Sai: The Hakai Guntai (Destruction Forces) has a medium sized company of troops waiting to intercept us!
Utada: Damn. Everyone, hold your position!
Everyone halted. Utada has the same unique ability as Gaara, the ability to guide chakra infused sand and use it as a weapon. He can also turn soil into sand. He used one of his and Gaara's most used supplementary techniques, Sabaku Fuyū (Desert Suspension), and stepped onto it. He used his platform of sand to hover above his battalion.
Utada: Listen up, everyone! The enemy has an interception company waiting for us as expected. I want all Medical ninja behind the battalion and a perimeter set up around them.
Asuka: Captain! They're charging us!
Utada: Medics! Get a move on! Give me 20 Shinobi with good defensive skills and set up that perimeter! Everyone else, with me!
Utada knelt down onto one knee and flew into battle. The battalion wailed out their battle cry's and charged in behind him.
Sai: All ninja that have a means of flight, come with me! We're going to do aerial attacks!
A small group of Shinobi and Kunoichi created their own means of flight and followed Sai. Asuka had jumped down from the ink bird and joined the ground battle. Choji Akimichi was among the battalion and so were his two sons, Chōsen and Kenta Akimichi.
Choji: Let's go boys!
Chōsen: Right!
Kenta: Yes, sir!
The three jumped into the air and did a hand seal that combined the "Bird" and "Snake" hand seals; they did the "Snake" hand seal but had their pinkies and index fingers pointed upward, like the "Bird" hand seal has the middle and pinky fingers upwards.
The Akimichi Family: Chō Baika no Jutsu! (Super Expansion Jutsu)
All three of them grew to enormous size and landed right in the center of the Hakai Guntai troops, taking many of them by surprise. Kiba and Izumi were among the first to make contact with the enemy as well. Akamaru and Kiyoshi were accompanying them like always.
Kiba: Izumi!
Izumi: One step ahead of ya, Dad! Kiyoshi, it's go time!
Kiyoshi (deep bark): Ruff!
Kiba & Izumi: Shikyaku no Jutsu! (Ninja Art Beast Mimicry: All-Fours Jutsu)
Kiba and Izumi began running on all fours like their ninken (ninja dog) companions. The four jumped up and Kiba and Izumi did the "Tiger" hand seal.
Kiba & Izumi: Jūjin Bunshin! (Man Beast Clone)
Akamaru and Kiyoshi turned into human clones of their respective owners.
Kiba & Izumi: Gatsūga!
All four, Izumi, Kiba and their ninken, spun at ferocious speeds and hit the enemy troops with several powerful attacks. As they were spinning, Izumi let out a banshee-like scream, something she unintentionally does while fighting. When she feels sudden energy, it's exhilarating to her and tends to be too much for her to control. Screaming her high pitched, banshee-like wail seems to be the result from the overwhelming excitement. The four came to a stop after killing several enemies.
Kiba: Yahoo!
Shikoku: Kagemane no Jutsu! (Shadow Paralysis)
He caught eight unsuspecting enemies is his jutsu. Since there were so many targets he had trapped, he hand to maintain the "Rat" hand seal to ensure none of them broke free.
Shikoku: Konohamaru sensei!
Konohamaru Sarutobi appeared in mid-air above the targets. Konohamaru retained the same hair style, despite the long 27 years that has passed since his childhood. He was now a Jōnin and wore the standard Konohagakure Flak Jacket with the dark blue long-sleeved shirt and matching pants with bandaged shins and black Shinobi Sandals. One addition to his uniform is he has white laces on his arms, one around is left bicep and one around his right forearm.
Konohamaru: Fūton: Kage Bunshin Rasenrengan! (Wind Style: Shadow Clone Rasengan Barrage)
He and the other 7 shadow clones he had made each had a Rasengan in hand and rained down on the eight enemies trapped by Shikoku.
Shikoku: Damn! Nice one, Konohamaru sensei!
Konohamaru: Hey, it's easier when the targets aren't moving. You held 'em still for me. Thanks!
Shikoku nodded and drew a kunai, ready to fight and enemy he runs into. Asuka was by herself and a dozen troops stood before her. She immediately began a series of ten hand seals, the last hand seal being "Tiger".
Asuka: Yōton: Yōyūhebi no Jutsu! (Molten Serpents Jutsu)
She spit three large amounts of lava globs out of her mouth and at an arc at her opponents. The lava globs then roared and began showing very distinct features, resembling that of a serpent. Amegakure Shinobi fighting alongside the Kirigakure and Iwagakure came forth. In a line, 3 Ame Shinobi began doing hand seals.
Ame Shinobi (in unison): Suiton: Suijinheki! (Water Wall)
As the lava collided with the water, Hayate jumped down from seemingly nowhere and landed next to her. He did the "Horse" hand seal and put his right hand to his mouth. He made hole using only his thumb and index finger while keeping the other fingers balled into a fist.
Hayate: Katon: Gōka Messhitsu! (Great Fire Destruction)
He expelled a sea of flames from his mouth, over his knuckles and it collided into the lava, giving it more power. The flames and lava overpowered the Suijinheki and killed the dozen men.
Asuka: Thank you, Hayate-san.
He nodded to her. He looked over to Seiji who didn't need any help. He was taking down enemy troops left and right with his Nintaijutsu. Captain Utada swooped in on his sand platform. He then did and held the "Ram" hand seal.
Utada: Gokusa Maidō! (Sand Burial Prison)
He loosened the ground beneath the remaining Hakai Guntai troops and trapped them individually in a maelstrom of sand. The sand then began sucking the targets underground and suffocating them in the sand. The Allied Shinobi Forces' troops began retreating a safe distance from the sand. The scream and shouts of the enemy grew more and more bone chilling the further underground they went. Utada was still knelt down onto his sand platform. He placed both palms onto his platform.
Utada: Sabaku Taisō! (Giant Sand Burial)
The sand slightly rose up in the center. Utada put pressure down on his sand platform and the risen sand crushed down and the screams of the enemies screamed out. After a few short seconds of screams in anguish, the battlefield was quiet. Everyone started congratulating Utada for finished off the remaining 3 dozen enemy troops.
Utada: There's no time for praise. Medical Shinobi and Kunoichi, tend to the wounded. We're off in 10 minutes.
~Yugito's House
Yugito: So that's what Senjutsu is… Dad never told me anything about it. Hmm… according to the scroll, Dad made a scroll that is a direct way to Mount Myoboku.
She looked in the closet again and saw a green, white and red scroll leaning against the wall. She grabbed it and unrolled it on the floor.
Yugito: Hm? A summing formula? Must be for one of the toads from Mount Myoboku. But I don't know if it's a small or large toad… Ugh!
She picked up the scroll and took it into her backyard. She laid it out on the grass and studied it.
Yugito: Okay. Let's see…
She began the hand seals for the summoning jutsu.
Yugito: Kuchiyose no Jutsu! (Summoning Jutsu)
She slapped her hand on the scroll and a small toad poofed up in a cloud of grey smoke. It was Shima of the Two Great Sage Toads.
Shima: Hm? The Konohagakure? Who's summoned me?
She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around.
Shima: Oh! Yugito! I-uh… I'm sorry about Naruto… He was a great man.
Yugito: Thank you, Grandma Shima. I've got something to ask you.
Shima: Why yes. Anything. Please, ask away.
Yugito: Can you train me in the art of Senjutsu?
Shima: Hm… I'm not going to tell you no… You do know that it won't be easy, don't you?
Yugito: I understand that. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be a Gama Sennin (Toad Sage).
Shima: Okay, then. Follow me, Yugito dear.
Yugito: Where're we going?
Shima: The quickest way to Mount Myoboku.
~Utada's Battalion
Utada went to the Medical Ninja to ensure that things were going smoothly. All wounded Ninja were getting patched up and the Ninja that experienced battle minutes ago were resting.
Utada: Alright everyone! We're heading out.
Seiji: So let's go.
Utada turned and began running ahead of his battalion. Everyone else followed behind him.
Utada (thinking): That battle took a lot more time than estimated. It seemed like they were using a lot of defensive attacks. It's almost like they were stalling us.
He thought back to the enemy troops using several defensive jutsu like the Water Wall and Earth Style: Dome Wall.
Hayate: Captain. How far are we from the Land of Lightning?
Utada: Not sure. The enemy did manage to slow us down though. We can't afford to be stalled like that again.
Hayate (nodding once): Hmm.
~Secret Location in the Hidden Leaf Forest
Yugito: Where are we, Grandma Shima?
Shima: You'll see.
Yugito's face turned from to curiosity to frustration. They had already been walking for a while and the area they were currently in made Yugito feel like they were walking in circles. Just then, Shima stopped at a small puddle in front of a tree.
Yugito: Uh… Grandma? What's this?
Shima: A Teleportation Pool to Mount Myoboku.
Yugito: Pool? You mean puddle, right?
Shima: You're bigger than me. It's a pool to us "smaller" toads. Now follow me.
She dove in head first. She looked at the puddle in hesitation.
Yugito: Well, I won't be diving in head first but… Here goes nothing…
She did a pencil dive into the puddle and immediately dropped down into it like it was a deep pool.
Yugito (thinking): What the hell?! It is like a giant pool!
Shima signaled Yugito to follow her. With Shima taking point, the both swam to the bottom of the puddle-pool and started seeing light at the bottom. Once they reached it, they both poked their heads up and scanned the area.
Shima: Here it is. This is my home, Mount Myoboku.
Yugito's eyes grew wide and a smile came across her face. She had never seen a place so beautiful and green.
~Utada Battalion
Utada and his troops were on the move. He was determined to not be stopped by the Hakai Guntai troops again. Hayate, Seiji and Asuka were running together in the battalion.
Hayate: Seiji-kun.
Seiji: What's up?
Hayate: Is this nerve racking? I mean… going back?
Seiji: It will be strange to go back, but we're in war. I don't have time to muse over the past when I have a job to do.
Asuka (thinking): That was a very mature thing to say.
Hayate: I haven't met their newest Raikage. I only met Raikage Ei once when I younger with my mom.
Seiji: No. Izumi and her team travelled to the Kumogakure on a mission two years ago and met him. They said he's really laid back and easy going.
Asuka: He's been Raikage for 4 or 5 years now, right?
Seiji: Yeah. About that time. But I am excited to meet him.
Hayate (thinking): Hm… It is going to be interesting to see Seiji react to being back in his home village.
