Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Shisui Uchiha
"Well then..." I murmured, looking at the battlefield, Konoha had gained the upper hand a long time ago, but it seemed the future Fourth Raikage still had no intention of surrendering.
My gaze landed on an interesting boy I brought with me purely by chance, Shisui Uchiha versus Terumi Mei.
Pov Shisui ~
In front of me stood Terumi Mei, a formidable kunoichi whose reputation as an expert in elemental combination techniques was not exaggerated.
Additionally, as a Suiton user, she can block and neutralize my fire Jutsus, I can't fight her head-on, I need to test her strength to find her weaknesses.
"Ninjutsu: Teleportation Technique!" Instantly, dozens of copies of me appeared on the battlefield, forming a tight circle around her.
"You're Shisui of the Body Flicker, right? You look cute, it's a shame I have to kill you, but don't worry, I'll keep you in my memory," Terumi said nonchalantly.
"Yōton: Lava Acid Flow!" A stream of yellowish lava flowed from her mouth as she moved in circles, covering all the copies.
The corrosive acid instantly devoured the ground beneath her feet, leaving a trail of black smoke.
However, the copies hit by the lava passed through it as if they were mere illusions.
"What.. Genjutsu?!" Terumi Mei exclaimed with wide eyes, watching as my copies passed through the lava effortlessly.
"Katon: Great Fireball!" Suddenly, one of the copies formed hand seals and a massive fireball appeared in front of him.
"Suiton: Great Water Collision!" Terumi reacted quickly, launching a stream of water.
Boom!
A blast of steam flooded the battlefield, momentarily obstructing vision, Terumi raised her hand to shield herself from the steam, trying to see where I was previously.
I took the moment, positioning myself behind her with my real body while my clones continued moving in erratic patterns, confusing her senses.
'Behind me!' she thought, feeling danger behind her.
Clink!
Terumi pulled out a kunai to block my attack, which worked, forcing me to retreat, she clapped her hands in front of her face, performing high-speed seals.
"Suiton: Water Dragon!" Out of nowhere, a massive water dragon appeared, its mouth opening to reveal terrifying teeth.
An explosion echoed, raising another dust cloud, but miraculously, I came out completely unscathed because I had already changed locations.
After distancing myself enough, I canceled my jutsu, taking a breath to analyze the situation, "She can create water out of nowhere, has Lava Release, and from what I know, possesses another chakra nature, she's definitely an expert..."
By the way, the jutsu I just used is the Teleportation Jutsu, based on the two basic techniques I learned in the academy, the Basic Clone Jutsu and the Body Replacement Jutsu.
Basic clones have the peculiarity of being unsubstantial, but they still have enough substance to use the Replacement Jutsu on them, instead of using it on wooden logs, I thought of using it on clones.
Obviously, these clones are more refined than the regular clones taught in the academy, I had to fine-tune my chakra control enough to avoid leaving smoke clouds or anything like that, it took me two years to perfect it.
Now, not even a sensory ninja can notice the difference, but I can't do anything against the Byakugan, I'm glad we're not enemies, but I plan to keep improving, maybe I can add Shadow Clone features.
"Impressive, that jutsu is very good, although I don't know how you did it, let's see if you can escape this," Terumi said, forming seals once again, making me tense.
"Futton: Corrosive Mist!" From her mouth came a thick, steaming cloud that began spreading rapidly, making the air unbreathable.
'This is bad!' I thought, retreating quickly as I watched even the stones around her start to corrode.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? If you tell me how beautiful I am, I might consider letting you go," Terumi said coquettishly after expelling the mist that continued spreading.
I simply kept silent, thinking of a solution, I can't allow that technique to spread, if it does, it will affect the other allied ninjas in the area.
'I must attack!' I thought, forming seals as I launched myself directly at the mist.
"Katon: Great Fireball!" Another massive fireball shot out, not to harm her but to create an opening through the mist.
Za!
Za!
Two shuriken flew towards Terumi, who easily dodged them, the shuriken embedded themselves in the ground behind her.
"Fūton: Great Wind Advance!" After the failure of the shuriken, I proceeded to use my second chakra nature.
The mist was forced to retreat, although Terumi seemed to be exerting control over it, she was eventually forced to retreat alongside the mist.
"Are all Uchiha this amazing?" Terumi asked, slightly excited.
"You can ask the Reaper," suddenly, a voice sounded behind her, a Shisui Uchiha holding a short sword appeared spinning in the air, about to cut her neck.
Slash
With a clean cut, lava flowed from Terumi's neck, that's right, it was just a lava clone, this surprised me, and I immediately relocated, feeling a sense of danger.
"Yōton: Lava Acid Flow!" Terumi used her lava jutsu again.
The copy that replaced me was enveloped in the yellowish lava, fortunately, I escaped in time.
"So the Reaper, huh? Seems like it's not the time yet," Terumi said, licking her lips with remnants of burning lava.
"Huh... huh..." After dodging that attack, I breathed heavily, having lost a lot of chakra between jutsus and the use of the Sharingan, which was already taking its toll.
Kaboom!!
Suddenly, in the distance, a figure was launched like a projectile, crashing into a hill and being buried among the rubble.
"Orochimaru-sama?" I murmured, narrowing my eyes, "Is he fighting the Raikage?"
Both Terumi and I temporarily stopped the fight, observing the combat out of the corner of our eyes, without completely lowering our guard.
Kakashi, who was closer to me, also stopped to watch the battle, he and his enemy, Dodai, were bloody and covered in dirt and grime, I seemed to see Kakashi use the Chidori several times, even activating the Sharingan he obtained from his friend, also a clan member.
With my Sharingan, I saw a massive hole in Orochimaru-sama's stomach, but I also saw it healing at an unimaginable speed, then he pulled a seal from who-knows-where and placed it on his arm, making his wound heal even faster.
Minutes later, he clashed again with the Raikage, holding his sword, I remember hearing him call it Murasame.
His Murasame sword glowed blue before being enveloped by black-red flames resembling blood, when they clashed, Orochimaru-sama rolled before stopping, Murasame shattered in his hands, turning into dust.
Meanwhile, the Raikage's arm began to be covered with symbols, I believe it was Fuinjutsu, but the most surprising thing was that the Raikage grabbed his arm and tore it off with brute strength, throwing it far away.
Before the arm touched the ground, it exploded, leaving a small crater around it, my red eyes lit up even more from the glow.
The Raikage seemed to let out a sigh of relief when suddenly, another Orochimaru-sama appeared behind him, holding another Murasame sword, he reacted using a technique similar to a spear with his fingers.
When both attacks clashed, Orochimaru-sama's Murasame shattered, and the Raikage's attack advanced towards his face, but it turned out to be just a shadow clone.
Suddenly, more clones appeared holding more Murasame swords, impaling the Raikage from four different directions.
Orochimaru-sama approached the Raikage and, after a few words, placed his hand on his face, and a strange mass of black energy engulfed the Raikage, devouring him, at least that's how it seemed to me.
Orochimaru-sama let out a sigh and turned towards me, our eyes met, and we made eye contact, he smiled and waved at me.
I nervously smiled back, slightly unsettled that he had just killed the Raikage, I always believed only a Kage could kill a Kage, but Orochimaru-sama isn't one, that doesn't make sense.
"So we lost..." Terumi's voice pulled me out of my thoughts, her tone held resignation and disappointment, but for some reason, there was also excitement and... anticipation?
[Note: It doesn't mean anything, Terumi is crazy, unless you want of course, but it's unlikely, just forget it]
...
Pov Orochimaru ~
After greeting Shisui, I turned my attention back to the battlefield, even though Konoha had gained the upper hand, they didn't seem ready to surrender.
Then I focused on the Raikage's son, A, who seemed on the verge of losing control, glaring at me with a murderous look.
"I'll kill you... I'll kill you... I'll kill you... I'll kill you!" he roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Activating his lightning armor, he rushed towards me like a raging bull, any ninja who got in his way was punched and instantly knocked out, some even died under his terrible blows.
"Ai-sama, we have to retreat, stop this!" Dodai, who had pulled back from the battle, arrived by his side, calling him by his name.
But the future Fourth Raikage acted like a furious bull, ignoring him and striking down everyone in his path, soon, all the ninjas wisely stepped aside to let him pass.
Dodai clicked his tongue and used his Lava Style to block his path, which finally made him stop.
"Move!" he roared.
"No, Ai-sama, look around and tell me what you see!" Dodai shouted, trying to reason with him.
"What do I see? I see the death of my brother and my father, what else could I see?!" he asked furiously.
"Ai-sama, just look around you for once, fuck!" Dodai shouted angrily.
That seemed to wake him up, and reluctantly, he glanced around, but what he saw made his eyes widen in surprise.
He saw ninjas with Cloud Village forehead protectors lying on the ground, some even taken prisoner, and with every passing second, more and more fell, either dead or awaiting capture.
This made him swallow involuntarily, "What happened?!" he asked, glaring at Dodai, demanding a reasonable explanation.
"They're too strong, we can't do anything, we must retreat before it's too late!" Dodai said, trying to make him see reason, A hesitated but finally said with difficulty.
"W-we retreat," he muttered through clenched teeth, but Dodai smiled and let out a sigh of relief.
"You heard him, we retreat, retreat!" Dodai shouted, "Take the wounded and fall back!"
The Cloud ninjas let out sighs of relief, immediately organizing the retreat.
Retreating didn't mean running with their backs to the enemy, the ninjas still able to fight moved to the front to hold off the enemy and buy time for the others to escape.
But they were mercilessly crushed, only a few managed to hold their ground, like a massive cat surrounded by blue flames.
Yugito, transformed into Matatabi, was being besieged by dozens of enemies while supporting the retreat.
"Blue Flames: Rat Hairbullet!" Matatabi opened its mouth, hundreds of small blue mice emerged from it.
The mice turned into dozens of small blue needles, rushing toward their targets like guided missiles.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Explosions echoed across the already devastated battlefield, with just a dozen of these needles, a building could be destroyed, so the Konoha ninjas struck by them exploded like piñatas engulfed in blue flames.
