(Damn, the PS this week was good for both fics, nearly 70 both, lol, keep them coming... still feels a bit funny that I am happy for 70 stones only, then again better than nothing I suppose)
Was becoming a Seal Master that easy?
Kids in Konoha, who are supposed to start the academy this year, are actually already Seal Masters.
People in the Mist looked at each other.
Then, they looked at Mei.
"Now, now, we are helping you guys. You better not have any weird thoughts," Kakashi said, closing his book.
He still had his eye-smile, but it seemed that smile didn't reach his eye.
Whatever that meant.
"Yup, we're not going to do anything now," Mei diffused the situation.
Still, it seemed that the Konoha ninjas were going to keep their guard up.
"You better, or you're gonna regret it," Sasuke said, leaking his killing intent, making the Anbu tense in the room.
"Calm down. Nobody is gonna backstab you," Mangetsu said, placing his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
Sasuke stopped channeling his chakra and just looked away.
"I am calm, just giving a warning."
Mangetsu smiled wryly.
"Well, let's focus on how to defeat the Jinchuriki Kage, not assassinate me," Sora deadpanned.
"Yes, yes. We have some grandmasters ready to make Yagura lose control of his chakra during mid-battle. We probably won't be able to seal him, so this is the method we've decided on."
"Hmm, is it wise to let a Jinchuriki lose control?" Sasuke asked.
"Generally, no. But Yagura is a Perfect Jinchuriki, so it would be better for us if he fights irrationally."
"I see. So, what's the plan?"
***
**Location: Mizukage Tower or its equivalent.**
"Sir, we have found that Kakashi Hatake was seen with the rebellion group. Do you think they are finally planning a coup d'etat?" An Anbu guard appeared and reported to the Mizukage.
"I see. It doesn't really matter. The addition of an elite Jounin won't mak—" Yagura stopped talking and looked up.
Just as he placed his hand on the bow staff, the ceiling broke—no, melted, and steam could be seen coming through.
For Yagura, the world paused.
He could see his Anbu guards starting to weave hand seals and the leader of the rebellion faction falling through the air, using Boil Release.
'How did she even get this high up?' Yagura thought, channeling chakra into his staff.
Yagura might be controlled at the moment, but Tobi's genjutsu allows him to still think and fight properly, like in his prime.
The only difference is that his intentions are not his own—he doesn't have free will.
So, it's similar to a watered-down version of Shisui's Mangekyou ability.
Surprisingly, she ignored the Anbu and directly attacked Yagura, who pointed his staff upward.
A Water Mirror manifested—no, a water dome manifested, neutralizing the steam.
"Whoa, that's one of my techniques. Are you the creator?" A voice could be heard by those present in the Mizukage Tower—no, the falling Mizukage Tower.
The tower was collapsing, and Yagura was on the top floor.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a concentrated chakra ball coming toward him, only a few meters away from his water dome.
Yagura's eyes widened, and he thrust his bow staff toward the spot where the small Rasengan would hit.
The spot on the water dome concentrated, and to Sora, a mini-Rasengan was seen in the reflection, colliding with his Rasengan and neutralizing it.
"So, your version can neutralize A-ranks? Or did you overcharge it?" Sora asked, knowing full well he probably wouldn't get an answer.
He didn't mind the rejection.
Currently, the whole tower was falling, along with the slabs Sora, Mei, and Yagura were standing on.
They were still sticking to the slabs with chakra.
The Anbu had almost completed their jutsu, but they realized they were missing something.
They looked down and realized they were missing their hearts.
They looked on in disbelief and heard a voice.
"You guys really need to increase your self-awareness. You might die by an unsuspecting person."
The four Anbu looked at the famous copy ninja wielding Nuibari.
They now noticed Nuibari's wires.
But it was too late—they were already dead.
Kakashi should have said, "Omae wa mou shinderu," but unfortunately, he wasn't feeling like a Uchiha today.
Back to Yagura, who had just thrust his staff to block the Rasengan (things are happening simultaneously and very fast).
He sensed a stream of lightning coming straight at him from the opposite direction the Rasengan came from.
'So, it was a properly planned ambush.' Yagura realized that his water dome wouldn't be able to hold off that concentrated lightning attack because, to increase defence in a specific area, he had to place his staff there first.
By the time he did that, he would have been hit by the Jutsu.
So, instead, he released a lot of chakra from his feet, using the slab he was standing on as a springboard to dash toward the copy ninja who had just killed his Anbu guard.
While mid-air, he realized that Kubokiribocho was heading toward him at high speed.
Yagura tilted his body slightly, releasing chakra from certain points, and caught the blade with his free hand.
Then, in a smooth motion, not letting the sword's momentum die, he allowed it to turn his body slightly and threw the blade with more than double the momentum toward the lava Mei had just released, effectively making her stop her jutsu and dodge.
He reached Kakashi in one second, who was sticking to the uppermost part of the wall and slammed his staff at Kakashi's head with great speed.
'Why is he not using his Sharingan?' Yagura thought, coating his staff with dense chakra.
Kakashi surprisingly tilted his head back, missing the staff by only a few millimetres.
Do note that Yagura was currently mid-air, and Kakashi was upside down, sticking to the ceiling.
Kakashi thrust Nuibari at Yagura with surprising speed, aiming directly at his heart.
Yagura used his free hand, coated with Isobu's chakra, to block it.
To Yagura's horror, the tip of Nuibari not only pierced the tailed beast's chakra but did so effortlessly, passing through his hand and piercing his chest.
"Oops, I missed. Then again, things would have been so easy if you'd died from this sneak attack. I should have only missed your heart by a few millimetres. Truly a Kage worthy of being called a Perfect Jinchuriki," Kakashi said to Yagura, who entered the second form of his chakra cloak.
"How interesting," Yagura commented, doing an axe kick toward Kakashi's head.
The speed of the kick was much faster than the thrust of his staff, thanks to the chakra cloak covering him.
Kakashi shouldn't have been able to react.
That was a fact, as Kakashi didn't have that level of reaction speed... yet.
"How?" Yagura wondered, watching Kakashi catch his foot with his free hand. Then he noticed that his chakra cloak was being suppressed throughout his body.
"You made me resort to this, but I guess I'll at least get one solid shot," Kakashi commented as purple lightning flowed from Nuibari into Yagura's body through his chest.
Yagura instinctively used the tailed beast's chakra to protect his heart.
But his chakra cloak was being suppressed, as it was more focused on healing the internal damage this move was causing.
Yagura tilted his head, and a mini-Rasengan passed through where his head had been.
"Tch. Anyway, I don't want to play with fire anymore," Kakashi said as the purple lightning enhanced his physical strength.
He delivered an axe kick, sending Yagura crashing to the ground.
Nuibari was finally freed from Yagura's chest, which was already beginning to heal.
Kakashi immediately used the ceiling as a springboard and leaped away from the spot.
Just a second later, a Tailed Beast Bomb hit the slab where Kakashi had been, pulverizing everything in its path and exploding in the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
Or more specifically, the attention of those who hadn't been attracted yet.
Even deaf people would know what was happening, as the Tailed Beast Bomb was like a firework in the sky.
That was a funny analogy, but it is what it is.
"I see. So you've resorted to getting help from Konoha ninjas... and kids alike," Yagura commented.
"Konoha's children are strong enough to beat different villages' Kages," Sora said with a smirk.
"Oh, Is that so? Shall we test that?" Yagura said while dashing toward Sora, the ground beneath him cracking.
'Oops, I fuc*ed up, didn't I ?' Sora internally thought while wondering if the usage of f*ck was right in this case.
He didn't know how right he was.
