As if waiting for this moment, Enkai threw his needles straight to his side where the scientists were gathered around.
"Damn it, you Mustard!" Enkai heard the raikage swearing, but his inner curse filter sorted the bad words out and swapped them for good words.
Raikage kept swearing as he rushed towards the scientists to stop the needles. At that moment Enkai blinked straight to one side of the room.
Raikage, who barely stopped the needles from killing the scientists, realised this was going to be a tricky fight and he needed to end this quickly; his wound was also worsening.
Even though this wound isn't fatal yet, with time he will lose more and more blood and this will turn into a fatal injury.
Raikage turned to look at where Enkai was and then turned his chakra output to the maximum.
This time he will kill him for sure – he thought as he closed the distance between them in an instant, but only then he notice a blue swirling orb in Enkai's hand.
Enkai smirked under his mask, and instead of attacking raikage with it, he twisted his palm backwards and slammed it into the wall behind it.
Raikage's face immediately turned pale when he realised what just happened. His fear was only momentary though because soon he remembered that even if Enkai tried to break the wall behind him he wouldn't be able to because of how sturdy this wall was.
Cr..Crack! Creak..Hush..!
Raikage's eyes almost popped out of his skull when he saw cracks forming in the wall. He looked at the kid with slight fear in his eyes, a jutsu strong enough to break a wall that's not only extremely sturdy but also reinforced by an Uzumaki's fuinjutsu. Just what kind of jutsu was that?
Of Course, the raikage didn't know about the rasengan or the fact that it's an A-rank jutsu and Enkai had no intention of telling him. Well, even if he had the raikage wouldn't be able to listen because soon from the cracks of the wall came a giant chimaera.
It looked like a giant human foetus with a lizard's features. It looked hideous but that's not the problem. Quickly spreading its tentacles it devoured the first thing that came into it's sight, the fourth raikage, or at least it tried but the fourth just moved out of the tentacle's way.
Enkai, who had already blinked out to the ceiling of the lab and was now watching the events unfold while standing on a chakra foothold, clicked his tongue.
Things could have been so much easier for him if the raikage had died here.
Enkai sighed and then looked at the fourth raikage. When he noticed that the raikage was also looking at him he waved his hand in a friendly manner; further agitating the already angry raikage.
If only raikage had long-distance Ninjutsu, he would have fried this kid.
However, the raikage remained calm, he understood that if he wasted any time on Enkai then the Chimaera would eat all the scientists and if he fought the Chimaera then Enkai would wait for the right moment to kill him.
He wanted to wait for reinforcements to arrive but if he waited for too long he would bleed to death.
He was trapped from all sides.
He had no choice, he had been cornered from three sides and the best thing he could do now was run away. Against a mere kid who is still wet behind his ears, the fourth raikage will have to run or die.
"I swear I will kill you the next time we meet!" Raikage screamed before grabbing the scientists, he wanted to save the Uzumaki as well but she was inside of a fuinjutsu barrier and he didn't have enough time to save her.
When he grabbed all the scientists he dashed towards the exit of the lab, but then he heard something.
Woosh!!! Followed by a Boomm!!!
All hope of leaving this place alive was lost as Raikage's face morphed into genuine despair. The wind-style rasengan that Enkai threw at the top of the door caused that part of the cave to collapse. Raikage could dig his way out if he wanted to, but it will probably be too late for him.
With flaring nostrils and moist eyes, he put the scientists down and said, "Hide. Hide until someone comes in here."
Then he looked up. Raikage was always the smart type of person. He would calmly observe before doing anything, but maybe it was the realisation of the impending doom or maybe it was a last-ditch effort to save the world from the...The Devil that stood at the top of this room, he no longer cared about self-preservation.
Enkai, who was hugging himself shyly said, "You know, if you stare at me too much I will bl-blush!" as he nervously moved his head to the side.
When the raikage didn't retort however he became serious for a second before snickering, "But come on, did you really think that there will be a next time?"
"...After my father, nobody has ever managed to drive me to a corner. That changed today. You. Prepare yourself because now I will fight you with my life on the line." Raikage said, which only earned a mocking chuckle from Enkai.
To Enkai, the moment he stabbed one of his swords at the raikage - no, the moment he made the contract, he was prepared for death. To him, the raikage looked like a fool who was too confident to be cautious.
"Good luck reaching me here then," Enkai said as he was still standing in mid-air through a blank foothold.
The raikage quietly stared at him; then he turned to look at the Chimaera, causing Enkai's eyes to widen, but it was too late.
The Chimaera which was pouncing on the fuinjutsu barrier that was protecting the Uzumaki suddenly felt a burning sensation on its back, it looked up only to see a Lightning-clad raikage; the raikage used the chimaera as a stepping stone and jumped towards where Enkai was.
Enkai, who had a horrified expression under the mask, blinked backwards. Even though Blink was multiple times faster than the flicker technique most ninjas use, it was nothing compared to raikage's speed.
Stab - Cracks - Clank!
Raikage felt his hand land on the kid's torso, but instead of the flesh and bones, he expected to hear. He heard the sound of metal breaking. Before he could do much, however. Enkai was thrown downwards and rolled multiple times on the ground before stopping.
As if no damage was done though, he stood up without any problems; but if one were to look closely they would see smoke coming out of different parts of his body as his eyes were now no longer blue, but instead a bright orange.
He was currently in his 'Partial Chakra Cloak State' he had full control over this form and this form greatly increased his healing factor and other physical attributes.
However, this had one downside, in this state he can't use sharingan. This happens with sharingan as well – while using sharingan he can't use his jinchuriki powers.
Enkai looked below to see a gaping hole in his poncho, he took it off revealing the countless weapons that were strapped around his torso forming a layer of protection in and of itself. All the weapons in his torso were now in pieces though; thanks to a certain kage.
Enkai sighed and extended his hands; in an instant blue chakra surrounded his hands in a claw-like fashion and soon it turned transparent with a greenish hue to it.
This was 'Beast Claws' one of the strongest offensive blank techniques in Enkai's arsenal, if these semi-transparent claws as much as scratched somebody tens of tear and slash wounds would follow that scratch. If he made perfect contact with someone's body then they would be ripped apart inside out.
By now, Raikage had given up on returning alive. He wanted to protect the scientists but he decided to ignore Chimaera when it was hunting and eating the scientists because right now he needed to focus on Enkai.
The Chimaera, on the other hand, had eaten quite a bit by now and he had also adapted a lot. His body had morphed into a wyvern-like being with a horn on his head that was constantly emitting Lightning charges. In canon, its mouth was on its stomach but here his mouth was where it should be.
SwoooSwoooSwoooSwooo-BzzzzZapp-Sheirkkk!!!!
The three beings stayed quiet for a few moments as if waiting for the first one to make a move.
One minute passed, two minutes passed and as if a bell rang inside their heads they all rushed at each other at the same time.
