"Who was that weirdo?" stated Choji as he violently munched on the many bags of chips. Naruto stated, "I don't know, but he's gone now." Naruto said bye to Choji and Shikamaru as he had a mission the following day.
The following day:
2 minutes before:
Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi headed for the next mission.
"Naruto and Sakura! Kakashi has a separate classified S class mission he's got to complete. I'm assigning Yamato to you. He's an Elite Anbu captain," stated Tsunade as Yamato Body Flickered in and greeted the two.
"Who's going to be our 3rd member," questioned Sakura. Tsunade smirked, and stated: "Glad you asked, come out Sai."
The same man that attacked Naruto the previous day came out. Naruto stared at him and said, "NANI! Why do I have to work with the pale stalker." Tsunade had told Naruto to calm down saying, "It's only temporary, he's a replacement for Sasuke."
"Sasuke can never be replaced by this guy," stated Sakura and Naruto in unison for different reasons. "Hi, teammates," stated Sai with the most fake smile ever.
Yamato had told his team that he would wait at the gates as they went off toward the direction of Tenchi Bridge. They'd headed 30 degrees SW and had kept shelter in the amazing house Yamato made utilizing his wood-style Kekkei Genkai.
"That Kekkei-Genkai sure comes in handy," stated Naruto as he utilized his Zenchogan and turned it off before anyone noticed. Yamato looked back at Naruto, and said, "I guess so..."
As they were walking, Sai stopped and told Naruto that he wanted to fight him 1 on 1. "I want to see how strong the host of the Kyuubi is, stated Sai as he had his Super Beast Scroll ready." Sakura was nervous. Yamato had announced the start of the fight. *Vroom*. Sai saw a flash of red and black dash right past him. In seconds, Sai went from preparing to create a Tiger to being stuck implanted in trees barely able to move.
"Hmph. You're weak. I don't know what drugs Danzo gave you to make you think you were close to my level," stated Naruto as he showed the Kyuubi eyes for the first time after the time skip. This frightened Sai immensely as he felt emotion for the first time.
"Danzo, you are a fool if you believe I don't know what your plan is," stated Naruto internally. He's also salty that Sai was considered a suitable replacement for Sasuke. Yamato had told them the plan and how he would use Henge no Jutsu to look like Sasori in order to sneak attack Kabuto.
The plan commences:
The trio had hidden underground with the use of Earth style. As Yamato and Kabuto were talking on the bridge about matters, Kabuto suddenly used his chakra scalpel to attack Yamato. This revealed Yamato who was using a Henge and Orochimaru came out of hiding telling the others they couldn't hide. The trio jumped out as Naruto stared at Orochimaru with bloodlust.
"I'll destroy you!" smirked Naruto. "You're not near my Sasuke's level." retorted Orochimaru. Naruto had blitzed Orochimaru which surprised him then he followed up by faking a punch causing Orochimaru to dodge and then punch him through many trees with the second fist utilizing Tsunade's chakra technique. Orochimaru stared at Naruto and his blood licking it, "So you've gotten a little stronger, fox." Naruto smiled at Orochimaru and: "BOOM*" Naruto had exploded Orochimarus's body which also destroyed the ground underneath. Naruto had put some mini clay into Orochimarus's body when he faked the first punch in their Taijutsu bout.
"Body Replacement Technique!" stated Orochimaru as he regurgitated a body out of his destroyed one. Naruto smirked stating, "Your one hell of a dumbass, as he immediately charged up a Bijuudama-Rasengan!" This purple-shaped Rasengan formed and the density of chakra produced by this Rasengan shook up Yamato, Sakura, Kabuto, and even Orochimaru. Naruto with this attack in hand had dashed towards the snake Sannin launching it for a direct hit. The attack had cleared the entire forest and mountain supporting it as it crumbled and the group on the bridge jumped back to the forest on the other side. This power shocked the group and Kabuto.
"What is this power? This isn't human. I must report this to Lord Danzo." stated Sakura, Kabuto, and Sai in chronological unison.
"Wood entangling Jutsu! stated Yamato as he caught Kabuto not paying attention to their fight.
"Sakura! We must heal Naruto, Orochimaru grabbed him mid-attack not allowing him to escape the vicinity of his own attack. He must be damaged." shouted Yamato knocking Sakura out of her daydream.
Orochimaru had transformed into many snakes able to barely come out alive as one. "Huff, puff. This kid is dangerous, but he's injured himself," stated Orochimaru as he widened his eyes once he saw Naruto's damaged body just morph into many shapes until it was back to perfect condition.
"What? Fox got your tongue." mocked Naruto. "I'd used my Zenchogan to copy his Body Replacement Technique and I added Kabutos regenerative abilities to create a new jutsu: Perfect Restoration. It morphs a damaged body back into its previous condition within 1/10th of a second. It will restore any fatigue, and bring me back to a full tank of chakra." stated Naruto as Orochimaru praised him.
"Well, Well, Well, FOX! Why don't you try the Kusanagi Blade," stated Orochimaru as it came out his mouth and extended towards Naruto. But he stood there with no fear in his eyes as he stared at a sword that could cut through almost anything.
"Zenchogan!" stated Naruto as red stars appeared in his once blue eyes. Orochimaru was surprised as Naruto created a red blade out of pure chakra(like Goku's black ki blade) called Kusanagu no Shinsei Hakaimono(Divine Destroyer of Kusanagi). This jutsu that Naruto had derived from the Kusanagi Blade cut through the middle of the Kusanagi Blade and Orochimaru like butter as Orochimaru seemingly turned into dust and died(Hakai effect).
"Naruto! you did it, you defeated Orochimaru," stated Sakura with Joy in her eyes. Naruto looked at the detained Kabuto while stating: "It's not over, the only way to ensure Orochimaru is gone is by removing his soul from Sasuke's curse mark and then trapping him using the Totsuka Blade."
"Totsuka-what," questioned Sakura. "However, no one has seen the Totsuka Blade for Ages which is what Jiraiya told me, stated Naruto as he got off-track."
"That means we can quickly escort Sasuke back to the village," stated Sakura thinking about how Naruto changed as a person and shinobi. However, she was disappointed when Naruto told her that he'd sensed Sasuke's chakra reversed summoned as soon as Naruto used Kusanagu no Shinsei Hakaimono.
That was when Yamato felt his wood jutsu become lighter as Kabuto also utilized the Reverse summoning jutsu. Sakura looked around, and stated, "Where is Sai??" Naruto had told her not to worry as he went to Orochimaru's base which was emptied out by now.
The team excluding Sai had traveled back to the Leaf reporting the mission failure, but also including how Naruto can shut down Orochimaru. A figure with a 3 tomoe activated stated, "As expected, you've gotten stronger Naruto. I wouldn't let there be a gap for long, I'll kill you and get the Mankegou. Then I'll toy with Itachi and kill him making him regret leaving me alive that day!
