Yugito Akkipuden Episode 7: No Holding Back
WARNING: All Jutsu are in Japanese with the English Version in parenthesis.
Kota and Shoji were dashing at each other. Kota poofed up a medium sized ax in his right hand and a long katana in the other.
Shoji (thinking): Did that damn ax just appear in his hand in a cloud of black smoke?! Where does he keep getting these weapons from?
Kota swung his ax and Shoji blocked it with his left sword and the sword in his mouth. Kota put force on him which felt like a thousand pounds.
Shoji (thinking): Such force from a swing of that ax! From now on, I'd better watch my a–
Kota swung the Katana down at Shoji and he blocked it with the sword in his right hand.
Shoji (thinking): This kid is overly strong and he's no older than 13! Later in life, he'll be fierce! He'll be mean!
On the balcony, Sakura and Choji were flabbergasted at how talented Kota really was.
Sakura: Lee-san! He's doing really well! How come he's never shown his skill before?
Rock Lee: Because Kota is a quiet kid. He's not like Lee and I. In fact, he's more like Shino-san which explains why he and Toshiro are good friends.
Choji: The kid is nearly 13 and he's already a fantastic Shinobi.
Ino: Nice job Lee!
Rock Lee started blushing and got a huge smile on his face. Asuka was next to Toshiro on the balcony.
Asuka (to herself): Kota is a quiet kid. I never knew he could summon ninja tools at will.
Toshiro: His ability allows him to fight in close quarter environments and be effective at a distance.
Asuka: Hm? Oh, hey Toshiro-san.
Toshiro: Kota has a tattoo on each of his palms that allows him to summon any ninja tool he thinks of. But he has to lay eyes on the Ninja Tool before he can summon it.
Asuka: He can summon any Ninja Tool he sees?!
Asuke looked at the arena and Shoji and Kota were exchanging blows. They locked bladed and Shoji pushed him away. Kota aimed his palm at Shoji and fired 6 kunai like a machinegun at him. Shoji blocked all six and Kota lunged at him again.
Toshiro: The tattoos on his palms are cursed markings that he received as a child and will never go away. He kept his distance from us as kids because he couldn't control when a Ninja Tool would appear in his hand. He was cautious enough to not shake our hands or high five us because we were at risk of getting stabbed by a Ninja Tool. And for being so caring, Kota has my utmost respect.
Asuka: Kota is pretty dangerous… But just imagine how many Ninja Tools he hasn't seen! And what if he spots a Forbidden Tool? Kota's going to be a great Shinobi in due time!
Han Lee: Come on, Kota! You can do it!
In the arena, Kota poofed up a spiked mace and swung it vertically at Shoji. Shoji jumped back and the mace crushed the floor underneath it. Kota tossed it to the side and held his hand out behind himself. A Fūma Shuriken (Demon Wind Shuriken) appeared in his hand already spinning. Shoji jumped back a few meters to gain some distance for a breather.
Kota: You're doing well. I didn't expect this from you.
Shoji hates when people underestimate him. He got back into his unorthodox stance and tapped the metal plate on his forehead protector with his right sword twice. A pair of oval sunglasses, exactly like Killer Bee's fell from underneath his headband and slid perfectly over his eyes. Midori, Killer Bee's only remaining squad mate, was standing on the balcony next to Yugito, Hayate and Seiji.
Midori: Well, that's it for him. It's go time.
Team 5: Hm?
Yugito: What do you mean?
Seiji: That's it for him?
Midori: Whenever Bee #2 puts on his sunglasses, that means he's ticked off. He's fighting seriously now.
Team Five focused back on the arena. Kota slung the Fūma Shuriken at Shoji, slightly grunting as he threw it. Right when it was close enough, Shoji did a limbo move and put the blade of his sword in his right hand through the hole on the shuriken. Kota didn't expect that and as a result, his faced frowned hard. Very quickly, Shoji did a 360 degree spin and threw it back at him. As it spun for Kota, he did the "Ram" hand seal and closed his eyes. He made the Fūma Shuriken, along with any other Ninja Tool he summoned, poof away. Right as he opened his eyes, he felt a piercing thrust on the left side of his chest.
Team Lee: Kota-san!
Kota: Urghh! What… the hell?!
Shoji: Gotcha, foo' ya foo'!
One of Shoji's Supervibrato Raiton Swords was pierced right into Kota's heart.
Kota: H-How?!
Shoji: Always expect the unexpected when fighting the future Hachibi Jinchūriki!
Kota stumbled and fell to his back.
Yugito (thinking): Wow! As he spun around and threw it back, he also threw the sword in his right hand hard enough to keep up with the speed of the Fūma Shuriken and hid it underneath! Kota didn't suspect a thing! This guys a genius…
Toshiro (thinking): For someone so comedic, he was able to bring down someone as strong as Kota. An impressive Kumogakure Shinobi indeed.
Katashi: Nice work. I would've taken him down though.
Getso: Kota is unable to stand. Shoji of the Hidden Cloud is the victor!
Midori: Hmph. Job well, Shoji.
Medical Shinobi rushed to the arena for Kota. The blade was pierced directly into his heart. If he would've pulled it out, he would've died almost instantly.
Shoji: The Hachibi's future lies in my hands. Sorry Kota, but I couldn't lose here, man.
He lied on the ground quietly as the Medical Shinobi began to put him on the stretcher. Shoji walked up to Kota and knelt down next to him. He held out his fist for a knuckle touch. Kota looked at it and slowly raised his fist and their fists connected. Shoji nodded.
Shoji: Now get some rest, foo', ya fool.
Kota lowered his hand and the medics to him away.
Shoji (thinking): I might have banged you up a bit, but I can see us as friends down the road.
He took the stairs back up to the balcony.
Midori (to Shoji): Nicely done. You are worthy of being the Hachibi's Jinchūriki.
Shoji: Thanks, Midori-chan. Be careful during your fight. The last thing I want is another teammate to lose a life.
Midori: We've already lost Kei in the Forest of Death and it's only us two left. But don't worry about me, Bee #2. I'm the Nibi (Two-Tails) Jinchūriki, Matatabi's third host and niece of Yugito Nii. I'm not easy to bring down.
Shoji: I know, I know. Your tails are two. But don't get cocky, foo', ya foo'!
Hayate: The next two names are appearing on the screen, Yugito-chan.
Hayate and Yugito looked to the screen.
Seiji
VS
Katashi
Everyone in the New Konoha 12 looked at him. Seiji was ready to fight and hopped over the railing, landed in the arena. Everything then looked at Katashi, who was also in the New Konoha 12, and he jumped into the area as well.
Asuka: Be careful, nii-san…
They met in the center and Getso was waiting for them.
Getso: Let's make this an exciting and clean fight, just like the last. If your opponent is down and out, do not strike. The Jōnin on the balcony WILL stop you. Ready?
He looked at Seiji and then Katashi.
Getso: Begin!
Katashi quickly did six hand seals as he jumped back to gain distance. He did the "Bird" hand seal last and held it for a few extra seconds.
Asuka (thinking): Katashi!
Katashi (thinking): Let's end this quckly. (aloud) Yōton: Yōkai no Jutsu! (Lava Style: Lava Monster Jutsu)
He released a large amount of lava from his mouth and it spread in the air like a thin blanket. It hung over Seiji's head for a moment before crashing on top of him.
Yugito: Seiji!
Hayate: No! What the hell, Katashi?! He's one of us!
Asuka: It didn't kill him.
Hayate & Yugito: Hm?!
Asuka: He'd never intentionally kill one of his comrades. He didn't add enough chakra into his Yōton on purpose. All it will do is burn him to the first degree. Me and my brother can both control the damage of our Yōton by how much chakra we add into the jutsu.
Yugito: But still! It's lava!
In the arena, the lava started to spread out, revealing Seiji's badly burned body.
Hayate: Shit… Seiji lost…
Izumi: Wooo! That's my teammate!
Kiyoshi: Arf!
Toshiro simply nodded in approval. Katashi folded his arms and got a grip across his face. He tilted his head slightly to the right chuckled once. Suddenly, Seiji's body poofed into a burnt log.
Katashi: A substitution?!
He frantically looked around him, searching for Seiji. On the balcony, Hitomi figured something was coming.
Hitomi (thinking): Byakugan!
She scanned the arena for a few seconds and she sharply looked up.
Hitomi (to Han Lee): There!
He looked up and witnessed Seiji standing upside down on the ceiling of the building. He plunged down with lightning on his fist at high speeds.
Hayate: Holy shit! Look!
Seiji: Raiken! (Lighting Fist)
Seiji landed on Katashi's back fist first and punched Katashi into the ground with one of his signature moves, the Raiken.
Katashi: Kagghh!
The ground beneath them crushed and crated a crater. Katashi's head, arms and legs lock upward like someone was pulling him up by puppet strings. Dust and parts of the floor were sent into the air from the impact of the attack.
Izumi: Did he land it?!
Sakura: What power behind that Taijutsu of his!
?: It's not just Taijutsu.
Sakura looked to her right and Andō, the sensei of Team 5, was approaching her.
Sakura: Not just Taijutsu?
Andō: He uses the signature trademark fighting style of the Kumogakure Shinobi, Nintaijutsu.
Yugito: Andō sensei!
Dee (to Tarui and Kamui): Nintaijutsu?! Like Yondaime Raikage-sama!
Tarui: Holy shit!
Andō: Being from the Kumogakure, he's inherited the common chakra nature of the village. But only recently, he's been excelling in Fourth Raikage and Sandaime Raikage's style of Nintaijutsu.
Sakura: I've heard of his style. Combining strong Taijutsu with Ninjutsu in addition to using the Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Release Armor). But, it seem like Seiji was using his Raiton no Yoroi.
Andō: Probably used it too much in the Forest of Death. Since he's just learned the Raiton no Yoroi, he can only use it a certain amount of time's before his body tires out. There are two factors in this battle. One: He's trying to conserve chakra in case this is a long fight. Two: He isn't trying to kill Katashi. If he was, you'd see his Raiton no Yoroi.
Sakura: Hm… you've trained him quite well. All that has happened to him and he's able to control himself in a fight. Reminds me of someone I use to know…
Down in the arena, the dust clouds and smoke began clearing. Seiji's hand was still clad in lightning but he slowly started to release the technique. He stood up and Katashi's body was lifeless on the ground. His forehead was directly on the floor and his medium length black hair was covering his face.
Getso: Katashi has been defeated! Seiji is the–
Katashi's body started turned a bright red color. Seiji jumped away from the body and lava exploded from Katashi. Seiji landed and put his palm on the ground to stop himself from sliding. Katashi appeared 15 meters way from his across the arena.
Seiji (thinking): No way he survived the Raiken!
Asuka (thinking): A successful Yōton Bunshin. Good job, big brother!
Katashi: Didn't think I'd go down so easily, did you?
The two stare at each other. The showdown is stopped abruptly due to the ceiling caving in and large chunks of the ceiling falling into the arena. The two jumped around and dodged the falling debris.
Shoji: OH, SHIT!
Kiba: What the hell is going on?!
Choji: Not sure!
Tenten and Sai entered the arena. Tenten had her Bashōsen in hand and Sai was on an ink tiger.
Tenten: The Konoha is under attack!
Sakura: What?!
Shikamaru: By who?!
Sai: The Kirigakure! We've just received Intel that the Mizukage is trying to destroy the other 4 major nations!
There was one group of three Kirigakure Genin and the tried to flee through the hole in the ceiling. While in mid-air, Sakura cut off two of them and grabbed them by their throat. She slammed them to the concrete floor of the arena, nearly killing them. As the third tried to continue on without them, Choji cut him off.
Choji: Bubun Baika no Jutsu! (Partial Expansion Jutsu)
He expanded his right hand and slapped the Kiri Genin to the floor. All Genin and Jōnin jumped from the Preliminary Rounds stadium via gaping hole in the ceiling. All across the village, Konoha and Kiri Shinobi were battling, killing each other. Fires were all over and clouds of black smoke were lingering around.
Rock Lee: Tenten! Lee! Let's go!
Tenten & Han Lee: Right!
Yugito: What the hell is going on?
Rekishi, Chōsen and Kitsune landed in front of them.
Hayate: Kitsune sensei! What happened?! Why are they attacking us?!
Kitsune: Lady Hinata and a few others of the Hyūga clan were assassinated in a meeting at the Kirigakure earlier today! Now, the Kirigakure is trying to wipe us out!
Chōsen: Defend the village! Hokage-sama's orders!
Yugito (to herself): Mommy was…
Hayate: Oh no…
Sakura: Hayate! You are your friends are to join the battle now! I'm setting you younger ones on the defensive! Evacuate all villagers, now!
Izumi, Katashi, Seiji, Asuka, and Kenta: Yes, ma'am!
Sakura, Andō and the other Jōnin jumped into battle.
Seiji: Shinobi and Kunoichi of the Kumogakure! Will you join us in defending our village?
Dee, Tarui, Shoji, Midori, and Kamui looked at one another. They all nodded in unison.
Shoji (rapping): You can count on the Hidden Cloud, we got yo back! We'll help the Konoha no matter what! That's a fact! Fa show!
Seiji nodded.
Kitsune: Good! Let's go!
Everyone agreed in unison and charged into battle. Hayate looked at Yugito as they jumped the buildings.
Hayate: Yugito-chan… Are you alright?
Yugito: The Kirigakure murdered my mom. They WILL pay for what they've just done to me and Dad.
