Arc five. First Shinobi World War. Chapter 2. Gold and silver brother.
March 12, 2024 at 3:00 PM
- Ice element, snake grip technique. – I said the name of the jutsu without making any seals. I sent three ice snakes towards the golden brother. After that, I turned my attention to the second enemy, who was already close to me.
- Snake bite! - I pronounce the name to myself, striking with my right hand, into which I invested a huge amount of physical energy. The silver brother, like a cannonball, left my visibility zone, flying away several hundred meters. My intuition informed me of an impending crisis. The body reacted instantly, rolling to the side.
Damn, at this rate I won't be able to defeat them quickly. Konoha is on fire. Tobirama should be able to handle it, since I've likely taken on two of the toughest attackers. We must move to the third stage of evolution. No other way.
- Ginkaku! We need to end this bastard! – one of the brothers proclaimed with growling notes in his voice.
- I agree, Kinkaku! It's time to finish! – another approved his plan. I stood between them and was stressed by their teamwork. They were so compatible that they scared me. Their actions were synchronized to such an extent that it was as if they were not people at all, but machines... The chakra pressure on the battlefield tripled. These were no longer jokes. Their aura simply became so saturated with anger and hatred that I didn’t even need sensory input in order to determine that they were Kurama’s jinchuriki. But how? This is a big mystery to me.
I watched this amazing transformation of the opponents, beginning to understand that I would have to fight at full strength. What happened next resembled the real release of a demon. The fox's chakra began to strongly adhere to the body of the two brothers, thereby making a small copy of the Kyuubi out of the two opponents. A fourth tail grew from behind. Kinkaku and Ginkaku began to growl at me like animals. If before this moment, Kurama's chakra was simply released into space, creating quite good protection in the form of a layer of orange chakra, now Kurama's chakra has become denser, increasing in size tenfold. Now there was no visible skin on my opponents' bodies. They were completely covered with a strong and poisonous layer of Kurama's chakra... a frenzied layer of Kurama's chakra... The two red fox-like opponents opened their mouths unnaturally wide, beginning to concentrate such volumes of chakra that defy normal explanation. These were the volumes of chakra that could only be used by bijuu. Even the Shinobi Gods did not have as much chakra as these two were now concentrating in their techniques. Small balls of blue and burgundy colors began to form around both brothers. What is this? These balls began to connect directly in space, forming one black ball, which was larger than the previous balls. But this is really dangerous. You need to be ready to attack. They decided to use their trump card. I doubt I'll be able to survive a direct hit from a jutsu like that. Think, Michiko, think... what to do?! The attack may be too fast, so I may not have time to dodge, so there is only one way out of this situation.
- Ice release, ice oblivion technique! – I shouted out the names of my techniques, making about thirty seals. Both opponents were already ready to use their destructive techniques to end this fight. There was not much ice, but next to each of the opponents there was a small strip of ice, which I created as a result of my movement while the battle was going on. Kinkaku and Ginkaku have already swallowed these huge bombs... there is no other way to describe what they are trying to use now. But I just don’t understand why they swallowed them? Do they really use their body as a catalyst to release this energy in a certain flow? This would explain a lot, because a simple explosion is too destructive... this, of course, is effective against tens and hundreds of enemies, but against one enemy it is completely unreasonable... even stupid. It is better to concentrate the power of the bomb at one point in order to destroy the target with a powerful burst of energy.
- Aaaarrr! – I shouted from the weight of control. I have never concentrated such a volume of chakra anywhere, because there was no need. Three huge, truly huge, ice snakes rose from the ice paths, after which they attacked the two brothers, trying to disrupt their attack on me. I pressed my hands to the ground... trails of sweat rolled down my face. I worked hard to implement this as quickly as possible. Kinkaku was distracted by my attack and I was able to see the full power of their technique. The chakra beam simply cut through my three ice creations, which did not have time to do anything. The speed of the attack was simply amazing. In addition, even with a concentrated strike, this attack hit an area of ten meters, which was amazing. I'll have to talk about this technique with Kurama later. Maybe he will tell me the secret of this jutsu. Then I can finalize... Eh, I’m not thinking about that. Ginkaku failed to be shot down.
Eh, I'm not thinking about that. Ginkaku failed to be shot down. Kinkaku was able to use the rest of his attack to catch two ice snakes that were attacking his brother. One snake was unable to move this chakra monster, but I had a plan. All this time, I not only created ice snakes, but also turned the entire earth within a radius of five hundred meters into ice, and I spread the ice not only over the surface, but also deepened it into the ground five meters, which was very difficult. I spent a huge amount of chakra to do this, however, if I survive the enemy's attack, the initiative in the battle will pass to my side. This will be final and irrevocable. As long as I'm in the icy wasteland, even Madara can't control me. When the enemy opened his mouth, I had already fallen underground to a depth of five meters. Ginkaku could no longer change the direction of his attack, so I wasn't worried. The next moment I felt the ice I had created being destroyed. The deadly attack hit an area of seven meters, reaching 3 meters deep into the ice. It was just something. I simply have to come up with my own technique based on this jutsu. I think that this is not the individual ninjutsu of these two brothers. It is unlikely that without the cover they would have been able to use it. So I will consider this technique of the tailed beasts, based on their dense chakra and incredible control over it, and not the individual technique of these two brothers. I quickly left my safe zone, revealing myself to my opponents. Touching the seal on my palm, I summoned Morgana into the world. Now the fight will be fair. Two by two. And before it was a fight of one against two. Not good…
- Yes, who are you?! You are no longer an ordinary ninja! – a roar was heard from one of the brothers. Now it was difficult to understand which of them was speaking, but most likely it was Ginkaku. I responded to his words with a sarcastic grin. It was even nice that the monster he turned into to defeat me recognized my strength.
- You will have no more than three minutes. Get ready. – Morgana said in a calm voice. Yes, I finally have time to move on to the third stage of ice evolution. The next second I felt my body getting the desired effect. A pleasant cold force spread throughout my body, which, no matter how strange it may sound, warmed my muscles to the limit. Both opponents immediately felt the changes in my body. They launched their attack without a word. Odin began to form another technique... the same one he used earlier. The second one began to get closer to me in order to prevent me from using any ninjutsu.
However, now it was no longer so scary for me. I only have three minutes, but that's enough to finish this fight. I begin to move towards my opponent. As I run, having gained my bearings, I send my blade at the enemy with a precise throw. The enemy, of course, dodges the weapon, but this attack was not intended for him. Having formed the seal of concentration on the move, the blade turns into a thin needle, the end of which burns with a blue flame. The needle rushes at incredible speed towards the second brother, who is concentrating the bomb. Speed and accuracy are the main features of this attack. The needle pierced right through the opponent's head without even feeling the bijuu cover he was wearing.
- Kinkaku! - the second monster howled, grabbing its head with its clawed hands and turning towards the deceased. I didn't care what this Ginkaku was feeling right now. They attacked the village, so why should I cut him some slack so he can escape death? I simply took his head off with one quick and strong blow. The monster's head flew off his shoulders very easily. In my current state, I was at the level of a Shinobi God, so I had the appropriate strength. After death, the bodies of both brothers took on human form. It is clear that their strength was temporary. Even with the naked eye, I could tell that this cover was causing harm to the user, as evidenced by the burns all over their skin. Coming out of the absolute Sage mode and the third ice evolution, my body felt a very unpleasant aftertaste in the form of fatigue and chakra depletion. I fell to one knee from the unexpected rollback. Breathing heavily, I tried to get used to the heaviness that my body was experiencing. It wasn't that it hurt, but rather it was very hard. I just felt like I began to weigh hundreds of two kilograms more. My weapon flew into my hand as soon as I asked Morgana to help me. Somehow getting to my feet, I stomped towards the artifacts that both opponents were using. Having taken three artifacts, I was about to go to Konoha, the smoke from which had already stopped coming, however, turning my gaze to the village, I smiled slightly. My fight lasted about twenty minutes. It is surprising that during this time the shinobi of the village hidden in the Foliage had already managed to repel the attack. Although most likely it was a sabotage to provoke Konoha. They don't want to start a war themselves. This is understandable, but sabotage of this scale can already be considered a declaration of war. I think Tobirama understands all this himself.
- Search the seals on the body of these two jinchuriki. Maybe there is something worthwhile there, and take the bodies with you. – Morgana suddenly spoke, giving practical advice. I didn’t even bother to contradict the sorceress, I immediately went for the bodies. Within five minutes I can search the bodies of the two brothers and seal them in a scroll. There were many different bladed weapons in the seals, but only two weapons caught my attention. These weren't exactly weapons anymore... artifacts like the ones they used in battle. The first was a fan consisting of a dozen long feathers, which were colored red at the ends and at the beginning, and in the middle the fan had a white tint. The aura of this fan was in no way inferior to the other three artifacts. The last object that interested me was an amber pot that had a thick rope on top, by which it was most likely carried. A strange item, but quite intriguing. I still have to discover its capabilities.
Then I sent at a leisurely pace to Konoha...
