A minute passed, then another passed by, and only the sound of breaking bones resounded the room.
When the beast's head was no longer recognisable, he finally stopped punching. Then he turned around and slowly started walking away.
He looked towards his chest and remembered how Enkai shattered part of his cloak. If that Jutsu was just slightly stronger, then he would've been the one to die first.
Booom!!
He saw a red line of chakra as thin as a hair come out of his chest. "What?" He turned around only to see the most horrific thing he had ever seen in his life.
Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!
One of its hands looked like a greenish claw, the other one was dispersing greenish chakra. It was walking out of the dead chimaera's stomach, oozing out blood-red mist and liquids that melted whatever it touched. It had no skin; only muscle and organs closely hugging a skeleton. Its heart was beating and orange blobs of chakra were seeping out of its body.
It...was Enkai.
Raikage couldn't even take a single step back before he found himself falling on the ground weakly.
"Sheet! Eye misSed the hEart, butt loks liKe the Phoison is workhing." He didn't have any lips and his vocal chords were in shambles, giving him a very hoarse sound.
He wanted to deal a few more blows to the raikage but he had other problems to deal with right now.
Thud!
He fell on the ground with a loud thud; whiskers started forming from his cheeks and he took on a ferocious expression.
"Ahaaaa!!"
He screamed and willowed in resistance, as he screamed "Youh Whant control!? Over my dead body!" He started thrashing around more and more, not noticing the four tails that had popped out of his tailbone.
At this moment, the nine tails was trying its best to take control of Enkai. In normal circumstances, the nine tails can't do that, but it can do that now because of the special property of the eight trigram seal used to seal the nine tails inside of him.
The eight trigram seal not only seals high-tier beings inside of a host but also lets them draw in the power of the sealed beast, and right now Enkai was subconsciously drawing in an astronomical amount of chakra out of kurama to heal himself; allowing kurama to take control.
A battle of domination was taking place inside Enkai's body. The more he resisted the control, the more pain he felt and the more time passed, the more impatient kurama got.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the fight between Kurama and Enkai was of a much greater magnitude than the fight that just took place.
Enkai thrashed around like this for a few more minutes before the chakra around him started dispersing. He stopped thrashing around and sat up, now completely healed.
He looked at his naked body and let out, "You think I am stuck here with you? No. You're stuck here with me! Remember that!"
Standing up, Enkai looks at his surroundings. The floor was a mess, and so was the wall. There were craters and cracked ground everywhere. This infrastructure was as good as gone.
He looked at the bodies of the beast and the raikage and sighed. After fourteen minutes of extreme struggle, they are finally dead and he was the last man standing; the victor.
To be honest, he thought multiple times that he would die here. When the beast swallowed him, and his clothes started melting, he truly thought he would die there.
But he couldn't give up just because he was dying; he wanted to kill his would-be murderer.
With that thought, he turned off his sharingan and started drawing in the chakra of the nine tails.
Concentrating chakra around his right arm; he will finish the raikage off with a sniper punch – the very attack that raikage did his best to prevent him from making.
Soon he noticed Kurama's chakra slowing down the chimaera's melting process or rather his healing factor healed him faster than the chimaera could digest him.
It was a painful process, it was especially difficult to focus amidst all the pain. But this pain was nothing compared to the pain he felt when he first transplanted the poison glands of a salamander inside of him.
He noticed how his sniper punch was turning red because of all the evaporating blood from his body. Then he smiled and compressed it even further; he will make a sniper punch stronger than any of his previous ones.
Not long after that, it was compressed to the point that a small reddish-green barrel-like extension was coming out of his fist, entirely made up of chakra.
Believing in his revenge Enkai waited and waited inside of the chimaera's stomach.
Eventually, his skin started melting off of his body, his guts started hanging, and his tendons starts dissolving, but he persisted.
Then came the moment.
He felt the raikage's footsteps slowing down, the lightning buzzing around the atmosphere quieting down.
He knew that was his chance; immediately springing into action he activated his beast claws in his left hand and ripped through the dead chimaera's stomach.
He noticed the raikage's back, and swiftly aimed his right hand towards the raikage's heart and then...
Booom!!
A very thin, almost laser-like beam of reddish-green chakra shot out from the tip of his fist.
Since he wasn't using his sharingan he missed the heart, but the poison in his blood seemed to have worked because..the next moment the raikage fell on the ground with a loud thud.
Enkai looked at the lying body of the raikage and sighed again before his eyes lit up.
Now that annoying things are out of the way he can loot this place.
Enkai was sure that he could get all sorts of fancy data and technology in this place. He was about to search for those when he saw someone alive inside of the laboratory; The Uzumaki kunoichi or UK as he called it.
Throughout the whole fight and even before that, she was inside a fuinjutsu barrier that protected and amplified her powers; thanks to that she seemed to be alive.
Enkai approached the sitting Uzumaki and then shotgun punched the fuinjutsu barrier, shattering it into pieces.
"Eieeek!" She lets out a small yelp because of the abruptness of his action as well as... something else.
Enkai stares at her for a few seconds and then asks her, "Hey, Uzumaki! What's your name?"
"Eieek!" To which she yelps once more while covering herself as if she was very conscious of herself.
Enkai, who was getting annoyed by the constant yelling, squinted his eyes, "Uzumaki Kunoichi, are you incapable of speech?"
"Clloo.." The kunoichi muttered something very quietly.
"Hmm?" Enkai, who couldn't quite hear it, crouched down and leaned towards her to try and hear her better. "P-Put on some damn clothes, you pervert!" only to get slapped to oblivion by a blushing maiden.
"Wha-!?" Enkai who was speechless by what just happened; did she not see how he fought against two demigod-like existences? DID she not see how strong he was?! Where is this courage coming from???
"Eieek!!" The kunoichi was in tears thanks to the look Enkai was giving her.
'You are not the bad guy, Enkai. You are NOT the bad guy, Enkai! Deep breaths, Deeeep Breaths!" Enkai chanted this like a mantra and then looked at the fifteen-year-old kunoichi. This time he spoke in a much gentler way, as if trying to handle a child.
"I would also like to dress properly, but all my clothes are destroyed courtesy of the fight earlier, Uzumaki Kunoichi." Enkai pointed towards where he came from.
"O-Ohkay. And don't call me Uzumaki Kunoichi, my name is Honoka, Uzumaki Honoka." Honoka replied, as she stood up and went for a handshake, "Thanks for killing the Chimera earlier, although it was a joint effort, your partner seems a little...dead to me. So, you get all the credit!"
"Thanks, now tell me, do you want to live?"
"W-What do you mean? Surely you wouldn't kill a beautiful kunoichi like me, right?"
"Not if you let me sleep with you."
"What!? But you're a kid!"
"As if you are not."
"But I am still older than you!"
"Don't worry I was joking."
"Oh, haha. You got me there!"
"I would never sleep with someone like you."
"What!? Why you-" Before Honoka could continue she felt a hand pressing on her mouth. She looked at Enkai only to see the coldest expression she had ever seen someone make.
"Now listen up, If you want to live then you will not resist when I try to read your memories," Enkai said, looking her dead in the eye.
"Hmp! Hmp!" Honoka, who understood what was best for her, quickly nodded her head.
"Good," Enkai smiled.
Activating his sharingan, he stared at her. A few minutes later however he broke the genjutsu and clicked his tongue. Then he stood up and stabbed himself in the stomach.
"H-Hey! What are you doing!?" Honoka asked with a raised voice.
Squelg, Squelg.
He moved his hand inside of his torso for a while before taking his hand out; which was now holding a black piece of cloth. Briefly entering his partial chakra mode he healed his wounds and then wore the black piece of garment.
This was one of his black gloves that had storage fuinjutsu on it. This was the only piece of equipment he managed to protect from dissolving inside the chimaera's stomach.
From it, he took out multiple sheets of paper as well as scrolls. He also took out a few ink pots and a feather brush.
Then he looked at Honoka and said, "There, start writing every fuinjutsu and barrier technique you know."
"Y-You liar! Pervert! You said you don't have clothes to wear but you have gloves, ink and paper?!" Suddenly, Honoka felt the urge to hit Enkai.
"Glove, not gloves. My other glove had the utility stuff, this one only has weapons."
"Oh really? Then can you teach me how to kill people with scrolls and paper, please?" Honoka asked with a sceptical look.
"Explosive tags by cutting the papers, Storage scrolls for storing weapons. Need I tell you why the ink is important?" Enkai said with a deadpan expression.
"No." Honoka felt very annoyed by how much sense it made.
"Good, now start writing." He said as he walked towards where the lab equipment was being kept.
"What! No! I would never reveal my clan secrets!" Honoka screamed towards the parting back of Enkai.
Thriiing.
The next second she saw something pass by her at high speeds. She turned around to see a kunai lunged to the wall behind her. She subconsciously gulped her saliva and grabbed the papers with trembling hands.
