Yugito Akkipuden Episode 22: Four on One
WARNING: All Jutsu are in Japanese with the English Version in parenthesis.
Author's Note: Yugito, Hayate, Seiji and Han Lee clash with the Mizukage! Midori and Bee wreak havoc of the Kirigakure as a distraction! Asuka is brought in for questioning!
Yugito was dashing for the Mizukage alone and the others dashed after her. She threw a direct punch at his face but he dodged it and grabbed her forearm.
Yugito (thinking): Urgh!
He threw her at her teammates and she fell into Lee. As those two tumble to the floor, Seiji and Hayate continue dashing at him. Hayate threw a flaming, chakra enhanced punch at him and a wall of water appeared 8 inches away from the Mizukage's face and blocked the punch for him.
Hayate (thinking): What?! A water defense?
Seiji tried to sweep his legs, but the Mizukage aimed his palm at his face a blasted him with dense, high pressured water that sent him sliding across the floor. Hayate jumped back and did a back flip while doing hand seals. Once he ended with the "Tiger" hand seal, he spewed a large stream of chakra infused gun-powder from his mouth that engulfed the Mizukage.
Hayate: Katon: Haisekishō! (Fire Style: Burning Ash)
He quickly pulled out two kunai knives and clashed them together, creating a spark that caused the giant ash cloud to violently explode. Yugito and Han Lee ran up and stood beside him. Seiji stood up and stood next to Yugito.
Yugito: Did you get him?
Hayate: I don't know, but he's got some kind of water shield defense.
Han Lee: A what?
Seiji: A water defense. I saw it. It's fast. We've gotta be faster to hit him. And it looks like he can control water at will.
Hayate: We need a collaboration technique.
Yugito: We can combine your fire with his lightning. Those two elements go together well.
Han Lee: I can draw his attention with my speed.
Yugito: I'll cover you with my Kage Bunshin.
Hayate: Seiji-kun, while they're distracting him, you know what to do.
Seiji nodded. The dust cleared and the Mizukage stood before them, unscratched.
Mizukage: Well, well. It seems I've underestimated you kids. I actually had to use a full 360 degree water shield to escape that one. I guess I'll have to fight seriously now.
Yugito: Stop being so damn cocky!
Mizukage: A hot head… just like your father.
Yugito: Hrrgh!
Her eyes turned to her Sage Mode eyes and she dashed after him. Lee followed right behind her. She did the clone hand seal and created four Kage Bunshin. She used two of the clones to create a Rasengan in each hand simultaneously. Once the Rasengans were made, the two disappeared. Yugito, her two remaining clones and Han Lee jumped up. Her clones cocked back a fist and prepared to strike. She had both of her Rasengans aimed at the Mizukage. Lee was coming down at him with a kick.
Yugito: Rasenrengan! (Rasengan Barrage)
Han Lee: Dainamikku Entorī! (Dynamic Entry)
Mizukage: Suiton: Suijinheki! (Water Style: Water Wall)
He created a complete 180 degree wall in front of himself, stopping Yugito and Lee dead in their tracks.
Yugito (thinking): Urgh! Damn!
Just then, Seiji appeared behind him and he was in his Raiton no Yoroi cloak of chakra.
Seiji: Raiken! (Lightning Fist)
With his speed enhanced, he quickly made contact with the Mizukage only to realize he had hit the water shield. The Mizukage then released the Water Wall, sending Yugito and Lee back, and shot water from his hand at Seiji again. Seiji quickly side stepped the attack and Hayate came down from above with a Gurando Kasaiken (Grand Fire Fist). The Mizukage dashed backwards to avoid the powerful attack and Hayate crushed the floor where the Mizukage stood. Lee had opened the Gate of Life or the third gate. He rushed the Mizukage and delivered a flurry of punches and kicks, all of which the Mizukage's water shield guarded. As the Mizukage was being forced to back up because of his powerful strikes, he cocked his right hand back for one more power hit.
Han Lee: Tosshin Hyō! (Lunging Panther)
The head of a panther formed around his hand and he punched the Mizukage with it, connecting with his water shield and sending him flying back into the wall across the room. Like the Hirudora and Asa Kujaku, the Tosshin Hyō is a Taijutsu punch, not a Ninjutsu.
Yugito: Move!
The three looked back to see Yugito holding her right hand in the air. She was holding what seemed to be a spear and had a ball of Rasengan in the center of spears shaft. She had a Shadow Clone on either side of her and they poofed away since they completed what they were making.
Yugito: Senpō Fūton: Rasen Jaberin! (Sage Art Wind Style: Rasen Javelin)
She threw the Rasen Javelin and it went in the exact spot that Mizukage hit the wall. The Rasengan in the middle of the shaft was an explosive Rasengan that had pressurized chakra built up into it to detonate when tampered with; it's got the same explosive power as Sage Naruto's True Rasenshuriken. The Rasengan exploded and a giant sphere of blue chakra swirled around in that one area.
Seiji (shocked): Holy shit.
Hayate: Ha ha… ha ha haa!
Han Lee: Oh man…
Yugito: *huff huff* Heh heh…
~Kumogakure
Kitsune, Kiba and Izumi were being escorted into the Raikage's Mansion. They opened the door and Raikage was having a discussion with Shī and Kakashi.
Kitsune: Raikage-sama.
Darui: Kitsune, what happened? Were you able to track him?
Kitsune: No, sir. His scent went cold. It's a lot harder to track something that's flying. We lost sight of him in the night.
Kiba: We need an aerial squad ready so we can head back out!
Darui: We can't go back out there just yet. The village needs repairing and security. If we send too many ninja off at once to search for Isashi, we'll be weak if the Hakai Guntai come back and strike during the night.
Kiba: We won't be long. We cover a couple kilometers out and see if we can find any blood drippings. Last I saw, Isashi was terribly injured and bleeding. If we're going to save him, we have to do it now.
Darui: I see your point, but we just can't risk it.
Izumi: So what? We just let that guy get away with him?
Darui: For now, yes. We have to wait until the Konohagakure sends reinforcements to the Sunagakure. Once that happens, we send troops to the Tea Country and to the River Country to check on our bases out there. We just need to make sure that the Three Major Nations are secure first. We need to hold our ground, protect our remaining Jinchūriki from this new "Akatsuki" and figure out how to end this war faster.
Shī: Speaking of Jinchūriki, I'm surprised Yugito, Bee and Midori didn't come out to help like Isashi did.
Kakashi: Wait, wait, wait. Yugito didn't come to help us… Something isn't right. Something's wrong.
Darui: What do you mean?
Kiba: What's up, Kakashi sensei?
Kakashi: Yugito didn't appear when the Akatsuki attacked. Yugito Uzumaki? Hinata Hyūga and Naruto Uzumaki's spunky, red haired daughter? I'd expect her to be the first the frontlines!
Kiba: What are you saying?
Kakashi: Something probably happened to her. And Bee and Midori. Bee? Bee Number Two? I find it hard to believe that the disciple of Killer Bee would just sit back and let his village be destroyed. Midori? The niece of Yugito Nii? Same with her. She'd never just sit back and let her village get hammered.
Kitsune: Damn… I think he's right. When's the last time we've seen any of them?
Kakashi: I saw Yugito in her hospital bed a couple of hours ago. She isn't supposed to check out until later today, but if the village is in danger she wouldn't let being hospitalized slow her down.
Darui: How about Bee and Midori?
Kakashi: Haven't seen them.
Kitsune: Me either.
Izumi: Damn… Wait, come to think about it, Guy sensei was killed and Han Lee didn't snap like his father did.
Kiba: Yeah… You're right.
Shī: He wasn't out there. I didn't see him, Hayate Haruno or Seiji Yuhi. Hayate helped Seiji to Asuka Mitarashi and Asuka got him to the Infirmary. I'm shocked I didn't see Hayate out there…
Darui: Whoa! Okay, this is becoming a big problem. Kakashi, head to the Infirmary and check on Yugito. Izumi, find Hayate. Kitsune and Kiba, find Asuka. From what I'm guessing, she was the last one to see Seiji Yuhi. Shī, tell Omoi to search for Han Lee. We need to do this quietly and not cause a panic in the village. Am I understood?
Everyone in the Room: Yes, sir!
~Kirigakure, Mizukage's Mansion
The blue chakra from Yugito's Rasen Javelin cleared. Han Lee had exited his Hachimon to save his energy and Seiji had done the same with his Raiton no Yoroi.
Yugito: There's no way I missed. I had to hit him.
Hayate: We can't celebrate too early. He IS the Mizukage, remember?
Seiji: Right. This can get out of hand if we aren't careful.
Through the dust and blue chakra, the Mizukage was standing. His clothing was now tattered and the right half of his right was ripped, revealing his entire right arm and a portion of the right side of his chest.
Yugito: Shit…
Han Lee: At least it landed on him.
Seiji: What the hell is he holding?
Water was flowing all around the Mizukage and he was holding water in the shape of a sword in his right hand. The water around him wasn't armor like the Raiton no Yoroi, but more like Gaara and Utada's automatic sand defense.
Hayate: It looks like a water sword.
The Mizukage began taking steps towards them. Water formed at the bottom of his feet with every step he took. He did the "Tiger" hand seal and then jumped up, landing on a wave and began surfing or "riding" it towards Yugito and her team.
Yugito: Here he comes!
Han Lee: He is faster on water!
He rode his wave of water up the wall and spit a large amount of dense, high pressured water at them.
Mizukage: Suiton: Mizuppoi Haka! (Water Style: Watery Grave)
Hayate quickly didn't the "Horse" hand seal.
Hayate: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku! (Great Fire Annihilation)
His Great Fire Annihilation connected with the Watery Grave technique and created a thick layer of mist. From above, a giant water dragon came diving towards them.
Mizukage: Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu! (Water Dragon Jutsu)
The four jumped out of the line of fire of the enormous dragon.
Hayate: Where the hell did that Water Dragon Jutsu come from?!
Yugito: Somewhere above. But he was just on the wall. He couldn't have gotten to the ceiling THAT fast.
Han Lee: Look out!
Bullets of water rained down at Yugito.
Yugito: Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! (Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu)
She created dozens upon dozens of Shadow Clones and had them all shooting upward like arrows, intercepting every water bullet.
Seiji: He's gotta be using Water Clones.
Yugito: Then let's smash every single clone he's got!
Seiji clinched his right fist and flexed his right arm.
Seiji: Haaah!
He activated his Raiton no Yoroi once again. Lee pumped his chest outward and threw his arms down, activating his 5th gate, the Gate of Closing. All the walls in the room became layered in a sheet of water, making the Mizukage even faster.
Mizukage: See this? This is me being serious!
Lee saw the Mizukage sliding on the wall.
Han Lee: There he is!
Lee dashed for the Mizukage. Hayate spotted him on the roof.
Hayate: He's up there!
He jumped after him.
Yugito: Wait! He's probably trying to split us up!
Seiji: Shit, I think you're right. We should've stuck together.
Han Lee came crashing to the floor with a gash on the left side of his stomach.
Yugito: Lee-san!
Han Lee: Urgh… His water sword is durable enough to cut through my Flak Jacket and sharp enough to slice you open. Be careful.
Seiji: Are you alright?
Han Lee: I am fine. I advise you to take cover. This next technique will surely blow him away.
Yugito: Lee-san… the Hirudora?
He nodded to her.
Yugito: But the Hirudora is too much. Your body can't handle that level of Taijutsu yet. Guy sensei said so!
~Konohagakure, Training Field 15, Three years ago
Yugito and the rest of the Konoha 12 were being lectured by Guy sensei about the appending war that was recently started.
Guy: Let me start of by addressing my disciple's son, Han Lee. Lee junior, you have become a fine prodigy of the Strong Fist style of Taijutsu and have mastered six of the eight gates. Soon, you will exceed the sixth gate and gain the ability of opening the seventh, meaning the Hirudora can then be used. But, listen to me carefully. Opening the seventh gate alone destroys your body. Your muscle fibers are ripped to shreds, causing colossal pain if anyone or anything touches you. Using the Hirudora while in the gate is considered by many as suicide.
Han Lee's eyes opened wide.
Guy: I am telling you here and now as an order for the future; the seventh gate is to only be used if you find yourself in a life and death situation. No exceptions. Am I understood?
Han Lee: Yes, sir! I promise to not let you or Lee sensei down! Once I unlock the seventh gate, I will not use it unless I am defending my life, or some I care about!
Guy (crying): You've grown up so much! Your father would be soooo proud of you right now!
Han Lee (crying): Thank you, Guy sensei!
~Kirigakure, Mizukage's Mansion
Han Lee: If I am not mistaken, this is a life or death situation, correct?
Hayate: Hurgghh!
Hayate landed on the ground in front of them.
Seiji: Hayate!
Hayate: I couldn't land a hit. He's too fast on the water.
Han Lee: Perform this attack should blow the roof and walls out of this building, meaning no more water. Then will be your chance to strike.
Lee clinched his fists tightly and his skin began turning red again. Water suddenly surrounded his body and trapped him in a spear of water. The Mizukage had trapped him in a Suirō no Jutsu (Water Prison Jutsu). He had his hand aimed at Han Lee, creating it from a distance.
Yugito: What?! A Water Prison from a distance? How?!
Seiji: We have to get him out!
Just then, the Mizukage began filling the water prison with water to drown Han Lee.
Yugito: No!
Lee began beating on the Water Prison in attempt to smash his way out of it. Yugito created a Rasengan and tried to destroy the Mizukage's jutsu. Seiji was in his Raiton no Yoroi and tried a flurry of attacks, but his Water Prison seemed indestructible.
Yugito: Dammit! Nothing's working!
Lee's eyes were beginning to shut, meaning he was close to drowning.
Mizukage: There is nothing you can do for him. My Suirō no Jutsu is too dense for you children to break. You'll need Naruto's help for that.
Yugito: Hrrgh!
Seiji grabbed her arm.
Seiji: Stop. He's just trying to piss you off even more.
Yugito: Leave my Dad out of this!
Mizukage: Oh? Maybe I should talk about Hinata instead.
Yugito: You're dead!
Hayate: Stop it, Yugito.
Yugito: What?! You hear what he's saying!
She looked at Hayate and he had his eyes closed, concentrating. Yugito and Seiji began feeling warmer.
Yugito: Hayate-kun?
Seiji: Damn, do you feel that heat?
Seiji looked at Hayate. A ring of fire began spinning on the floor around him. The ring shot up and a vortex of flames spun around Hayate. Yugito and Seiji covered their faces and tried to defend against the intense heat.
Yugito (to herself): Holy shit, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: I'll show everyone how much I've developed over the years… I'll show them a power that is stronger than the sun itself, and burns twice hot!
The fire swirling around him pushed away and revealed Hayate who was now in a chakra cloak of fire.
Hayate: Katon no Yoroi! (Fire Release Armor or "Phoenix Mode")
He stood there and continued to increase the heat and power of his Phoenix Mode. His arms were much more muscular and defined. His eyes turned completely white and his clothing wasn't even visible due to the intense Katon no Yoroi.
~End Theme
Author's Note: Hayate turns up the heat! Can he also turn the tide of the battle with his new jutsu?! Stay tuned for more Yugito Akkipuden!

Author's Note: Yugito, Hayate, Seiji and Han Lee clash with the Mizukage! Midori and Bee wreak havoc of the Kirigakure as a distraction! Asuka is brought in for questioning!
Yugito was dashing for the Mizukage alone and the others dashed after her. She threw a direct punch at his face but he dodged it and grabbed her forearm.
Yugito (thinking): Urgh!
He threw her at her teammates and she fell into Lee. As those two tumble to the floor, Seiji and Hayate continue dashing at him. Hayate threw a flaming, chakra enhanced punch at him and a wall of water appeared 8 inches away from the Mizukage's face and blocked the punch for him.
Hayate (thinking): What?! A water defense?
Seiji tried to sweep his legs, but the Mizukage aimed his palm at his face a blasted him with dense, high pressured water that sent him sliding across the floor. Hayate jumped back and did a back flip while doing hand seals. Once he ended with the "Tiger" hand seal, he spewed a large stream of chakra infused gun-powder from his mouth that engulfed the Mizukage.
Hayate: Katon: Haisekishō! (Fire Style: Burning Ash)
He quickly pulled out two kunai knives and clashed them together, creating a spark that caused the giant ash cloud to violently explode. Yugito and Han Lee ran up and stood beside him. Seiji stood up and stood next to Yugito.
Yugito: Did you get him?
Hayate: I don't know, but he's got some kind of water shield defense.
Han Lee: A what?
Seiji: A water defense. I saw it. It's fast. We've gotta be faster to hit him. And it looks like he can control water at will.
Hayate: We need a collaboration technique.
Yugito: We can combine your fire with his lightning. Those two elements go together well.
Han Lee: I can draw his attention with my speed.
Yugito: I'll cover you with my Kage Bunshin.
Hayate: Seiji-kun, while they're distracting him, you know what to do.
Seiji nodded. The dust cleared and the Mizukage stood before them, unscratched.

He created a complete 180 degree wall in front of himself, stopping Yugito and Lee dead in their tracks.
Yugito (thinking): Urgh! Damn!
Just then, Seiji appeared behind him and he was in his Raiton no Yoroi cloak of chakra.
Seiji: Raiken! (Lightning Fist)
With his speed enhanced, he quickly made contact with the Mizukage only to realize he had hit the water shield.

~Kirigakure, Mizukage's Mansion
Han Lee: If I am not mistaken, this is a life or death situation, correct?
Hayate: Hurgghh!
Hayate landed on the ground in front of them.
Seiji: Hayate!
Hayate: I couldn't land a hit. He's too fast on the water.
Han Lee: Perform this attack should blow the roof and walls out of this building, meaning no more water. Then will be your chance to strike.
Lee clinched his fists tightly and his skin began turning red again. Water suddenly surrounded his body and trapped him in a spear of water. The Mizukage had trapped him in a Suirō no Jutsu (Water Prison Jutsu). He had his hand aimed at Han Lee, creating it from a distance.
Yugito: What?! A Water Prison from a distance? How?!
Seiji: We have to get him out!
Just then, the Mizukage began filling the water prison with water to drown Han Lee.
Yugito: No!
Lee began beating on the Water Prison in attempt to smash his way out of it. Yugito created a Rasengan and tried to destroy the Mizukage's jutsu. Seiji was in his Raiton no Yoroi and tried a flurry of attacks, but his Water Prison seemed indestructible.
Yugito: Dammit! Nothing's working!
Lee's eyes were beginning to shut, meaning he was close to drowning.
Mizukage: There is nothing you can do for him. My Suirō no Jutsu is too dense for you children to break. You'll need Naruto's help for that.
Yugito: Hrrgh!
Seiji grabbed her arm.
Seiji: Stop. He's just trying to piss you off even more.
Yugito: Leave my Dad out of this!
Mizukage: Oh? Maybe I should talk about Hinata instead.
Yugito: You're dead!
Hayate: Stop it, Yugito.
Yugito: What?! You hear what he's saying!
She looked at Hayate and he had his eyes closed, concentrating. Yugito and Seiji began feeling warmer.
Yugito: Hayate-kun?
Seiji: Damn, do you feel that heat?
Seiji looked at Hayate. A ring of fire began spinning on the floor around him. The ring shot up and a vortex of flames spun around Hayate. Yugito and Seiji covered their faces and tried to defend against the intense heat.
Yugito (to herself): Holy shit, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: I'll show everyone how much I've developed over the years… I'll show them a power that is stronger than the sun itself, and burns twice hot!
The fire swirling around him pushed away and revealed Hayate who was now in a chakra cloak of fire.
Hayate: Katon no Yoroi! (Fire Release Armor or "Phoenix Mode")
He stood there and continued to increase the heat and power of his Phoenix Mode. His arms were much more muscular and defined. His eyes turned completely white and his clothing wasn't even visible due to the intense Katon no Yoroi.
