Chapter 55 - The Clash of True Jonin

Kichi walks outside of his house. He sees a letter on his front doorstep. Kichi picks it up and reads it.

Kichi: "You have a mission that must be done in an expeditious manner. One of our spies has been captured. I have sent ninja, but they need your help. Don't bring your chunin team. They are too weak for this mission." signed Tadako.

The letter has a location written on it. Kichi runs to the training grounds where team one is. Ray, Nanami, and Kenzo walk up to Kichi.

Kichi: You will all be training without me today. The hokage has given me a mission.

Ray: And why not us?!

Kichi: Because you're not jonin. I'll be back later.

Kichi leaves, and starts jumping across trees.

Kichi(in head): It's weird for Tadako to send me a letter for a mission. I should be on guard.

After ten minutes of travel Kichi reaches an open field of grass.

Kichi(in head): Nothing here.

Rejiro steps out from behind a tree. Renjiro walks closer to Kichi, and then stops about twenty feet away from him.

Renjiro: Hello Kichi.

Kichi: I like the new cloak. Really brings out your evil.

The wind blows. Renjiros cloak is moving from the wind. Kichi takes out a ring with a blade on it.

Kichi: It's been a while since I've had to really try in a fight.

Renjiro: Me too.

Renjiro takes off his cloak. He throws the cloak in the air, and it gets blown ten feet by the wind. Kichi moves the ring with a blade. That one thick blade spreads out in the ring to become four blades.

Renjiro: A fuma shuriken.

Kichi runs at Renjiro. Renjiro shoots a fireball. Kichi dodges it, and continues to push forward. Kichi swipes with his shuriken. Renjiro ducks under it, and punches Kichi in the stomach. KIchi slices Renjiro's back. They both jump back.

Kichi: Fire Style: Flame Bombs!

Kichi holds oil in his mouth. He spits the oil out and it ignites. Renjiro takes out his sword. The sword absorbs the flame bomb. Then Renjiro sends it back. Kichi slices the fire in half with his shuriken. Renjiro runs at Kichi. Renjiro roundhouse kicks. Kichi blocks it, and kicks Renjiro in the stomach. Renjiro stumbles back. Kichi kicks Renjiro in the stomach. Renjiro elbows Kichi in the back. Then the clone of Renjiro disappears. The real Renjiro punches Kichi in the head as Kichi stumbles from the elbow. Kichi rolls back. Renjiro makes a rasengan and charges Kichi. Kichi makes a rasengan, but the color is red.

Kichi: Fire Style: Rasengan!

Renjiro: Rasengan!

Their rasengans clash together, and they are both sent flying.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ray slams his hands on Tadako's desk. Nanami and Kenzo are behind him embarrassed.

Tadako: What Ray?!

Ray: Why did you send Kichi on a mission, but not us?!

Tadako: I didn't send Kichi on a mission!

Nanami: Then where is he?

Tadako: Find him. He is one of my most powerful ninja. I won't have him being taken down.

Team one goes to Kichi's house. They break in through the window, and start looking around.

Kenzo: This house isn't even lived in. It looks like he doesn't use any of his stuff except his bed.

Nanami: I found something.

Nanami picks up the letter off the counter.

Nanami: It's a mission to go save a spy.

Kenzo: Does it have a location?

Nanami: Yup, lets go.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Renjiro and Kichi get up off the ground.

Kichi: Orochimaru taught you that?

Renjiro: You didn't.

Kichi: Heh.

They run at each other again. Kichi throws his shuriken. Renjiro dodges it. The shuriken turns into a puff of smoke. When the shuriken is gone Kichi is there behind Renjiro. Kichi then throws a real fuma shuriken into Renjiro's back.

Renjiro: AH!

Renjiro rips the giant shuriken out of his back, and throws it into the forest. Renjiro runs up to Kichi and punches Kichi in the side. Kichi hits Renjiro in the head, and Renjiro knees Kichi in the stomach. Kichi jumps up, and pushes off of Renjiro. Renjiro is sent backwards.

Kichi: Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!

Small fireballs are launched at Renjiro creating smoke. Once the smoke disappears Renjiro is standing there with some small burn marks. Kichi looks at him. Renjiro opens his eyes to show the sharingan.

Kichi: Come at me.

Renjiro runs at Kichi. Kichi punches, and Renjiro ducks under it. Renjiro elbows Kichi in the stomach, and uppercuts Kichi's chin. Kichi falls back. Renjiro grabs Kichi's legs as he is falling back. Then Renjiro spins Kichi around and throws him. Kichi puts his hand on the ground as he is flying through the air. He catches himself, and gets back to the ground. Five Kichi clones surround Renjiro. The first Kichi clone kicks. Renjiro grabs it's foot and elbows it's knee. The clone disappears. Another clone tries to punch Renjiro in the back. Renjio ducks down, and the clone falls over Renjiro. Renjiro stomps his foot on the clone, and it disappears. Two of them punch at Renjiro at the same time. Renjiro moves back, and the clones hit each other. They both disappear. The final clone tries to elbow Renjiro as Renjiro is off balance. The clone disappears, and Renjiro ses the real Kichi.

Kichi: Fire Style: Red Rasengan!

The rasengan hits Renjiro in the stomach. Renjiro is sent back into a tree. Renjiro's body slides down the tree until he hits the ground.

Kichi: You still have a lot to learn.

Renjiro comes up from the ground. His stomach still bruised and bloody from the rasengan.

Renjiro: Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!

Renjiro throws the rasengan down to the ground fast and hard. The shuriken explodes into a massive wind vortex. The wind slowly disappears. Kichi is standing there. His clothes were torn up. He has cuts and some blood. Kichi has a black mark around his eyes. His eyes also changed colors. His irises are black and his pupils are yellow.

Kichi: That was close. I would be in quite the bad situation if I didn't transform.

Renjiro lands on the ground.

Renjiro: What is that?

Kichi: You don't know? This is called sage mode.

Kichi puts up his hands.

Kichi: And it's been so long since I've used it.

Kichi runs at Renjiro with speed Renjiro has never seen. Kichi punches Renjiro in the stomach. Then again and again. Kichi uppercuts Renjiro. Renjiro is lifted off the ground by the uppercut. Kichi jumps up and tornado kicks him. Renjiro is sent into the ground.

Kichi: Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!

Kichi breaths in for about ten seconds. Then he spits out a giant mass of fire. The fire starts destroying trees around them. Kichi holds this fire. Then something starts walking out of the fire. The things are on all fours. It has a cloak of red and black chakra around it. The thing has claws and fangs. It has four tails of pure chakra. The face of this thing is completely black with white eyes and a white mouth.

Kichi: The demon fox cloak!

The beast roars.

Kichi: Shit.

The beast reappears behind Kichi and claws Kichis back. Kichi gains three giant bloody claw marks on his back. Kichi tries to run away. Then the beast opens its mouth. A giant red blast shoots out, and hits Kichi in the back. Kichi is blasted through trees landing on the ground.

Kichi: How am I going to beat that thing?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A man off in the distance is watching the fight. He starts laughing and licks his lips.

Orochimaru: How are you going to beat it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ray, Nanami, and Kenzo start closing in on Kichi's position. Then kunai come out of nowhere. They all land on the ground. Then Hanako, Gin, and Genji walk up to them.

Gin: Kichi is… busy. Come back later.

Ray: I fucking hate voicemail!

Ray jumps at Gin. She jumps back and starts running away. Ray follows her. Genji takes out a scroll, and kunai fly out of the scroll. Nanami and Kenzo jump to opposite sides to dodge it.

Hanako: Water Style: Tsunami!

A wave pushes Nanami back through the trees. Hanako runs after her. Hanako finds her far from Kenzo.

Hanako: It was too easy to split you guys up.

Nanami: We couldn't really do too much about it.

Nanami punches Hanako. Hanako grabs Nanami's arm, and turns it upside down. Then Hanako elbows her arm, breaking it. Nanami drops to the ground.

Hanako: I'm sorry.

Nanami: Are you apologizing?

Hanako: Just because I have a mission doesn't mean I want to do it.

Nanami: Wood Style: Roots!

Roots come at Hanako. Hanako dodges them .

Hanako: Water Style: Gunshot!

Hanako aims a finger gun, and shoots a water bullet.

Nanami: Wood Style: Wood Wall!

A wall of wood comes up to block the bullet. Hanako jumps over the wall, and as she is coming down she kicks Nanami back. Hanako runs up to Nanami. Nanami quickly gets to her feet. Hanako goes for a punch. Nanami elbows her in the chest. Hanako is sent into the wood wall. Hanako is gasping for air.

Nanami: Wood Style: Constraints!

Wood comes up from the wood wall, and ties around Hanako. Hanako tries to get out.

Nanami: You lose.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenzo is dodging the kunai and shuriken barrage that is sent his way.

Kenzo: Why don't you fight me instead of just throwing weapons?!

Genji puts the scroll down, and takes out his two machete.

Genji: You asked for this!

Kenzo runs at Genji. Genji slashes. Kenzo dodges the first slash, but gets a giant slash across his chest from the second blade. Kenzo is stunned. Genji kicks him back. Kenzo lands on his back, but rolls to his feet. Genji slashes down, and Kenzo barely moves his head back in time to dodge. A piece of Kenzo's hair is cut. Kenzo lands on one hand, and kicks Genji back. Genji stumbles, and Kenzo runs at Genji.

Kenzo: Chidori!

Kenzo slams his chidori into Genji's stomach. Genji is sent back. He hits a tree and his head smashes on the tree. Genji is unconscious.

Kenzo: Yes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ray stops once he doesn't see Gin.

Ray: Is this some kind of mind game! I don't like mind games!

Gin hops down from a tree.

Gin: But I do.

Ray sees a smoke cloud around him. Then multiple Gin's run at him. Ray guards, but the Gin's disappear.

Ray: This isn't like real life! This is a nightmare!

Ray takes a quick breath in.

Ray: That's it. It's a genjutsu.

In the real world Gin is walking over to Ray's incompacitated body. She takes out her sword.

Gin: He was so loud. I'll enjoy killing this one.

Gin stands above Ray's body. She goes to stab Ray. Ray dodges out of the way. Gin can see Ray's sharingan.

Ray: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

Gin is sent back by the fireball.

Gin: Damn you!

Gin gets back to her feet, and she charges Ray. She tries to cut him with her sword. He dodges the sword slash. Then punches her in the stomach. Finally he picks Gin up, and throws her into a tree.

Ray: I always win.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team one all meets back with Kenzo.

Nanami: We need to go help Kichi. We must be close.

They start running off. Kichi and the beast are standing a good distance away from each other. The beast is growling.

Kichi: Renjiro. We can talk about this.

The beast roars. Then almost as it teleports. It's in front of Kichi, and punches Kichi in the head. Kichi is sent flying. Kichi crashes into the rest of team one.

Kichi: Thanks for the cushion.

Ray: Get off me!

They all stand back up.

Nanami: What's with your eyes?

Kichi: Nevermind that. We have huge problems!

They all walk back into the field. The beast has returned to the spot it was in before it punched Kichi.

Kenzo: What is that?!

Nanami: That's like when Ray and Renjiro were fighting, but it looks like Renjiro isn't there.

Ray: My head hurts.

Kichi: That is the actual demon fox cloak.

The beast slowly gains another tail.

Kichi: The stronger it gets the more tails it gets, and this thing started at four.

Kenzo: Maybe I can take it down then. I'm the four tails jinchuuriki after all.

Kichi: You'll have to ask your tailed beast.

Kenzo: How?

Kichi: You have to almost die. So just hop in the ring with that thing and you'll meet your beast.

Kenzo slowly walks out. The beast charges him. It fatally claws down Kenzo's entire torso. Then the tailes wrap around Kenzo, and throw him in the air. While Kenzo is in the air it opens its mouth and blasts him. The beast returns to its original position.

Orochimaru: It's keeping its ground. Whenever they get too close to its position it attacks. Truly the mind of an animal.

Kenzo falls to the ground. He is completely unconscious. Kenzo starts to be covered by a purple aura. Kenzo gets up off the ground. He stands on two feet. He has one chakra tail.

Four tails: Kurama.

Kurama: Son Goku.

Kurama charges Goku. Goku grabs Kurama by the stomach and slams him on the ground. Kurama bites Goku's arm and blood travels down his arm from the bite. Then the tails on Kurama start whipping Goku in the face, Goku grabs the tails, and throws Kurama into a tree. Kurama lands feet first on the tree. It digs its claws in the tree to hold its ground. Then it opens its mouth and blasts Goku. Goku jumps out of the way and gains another chakra tail.

Kichi: I can't even try and stop this.

Ray falls to the ground holding his head.

Ray: My head is pounding. I can't hear anything but the pounding.

Kichi: Oh no.

Ray starts gaining a chakra cloak. He has a red cloak with one tail. He starts growling and slowly walks onto the battle field.

Goku: Two Kuramas?

Ray jumps at Goku. Goku slams his arm down on Ray like a hammar. Ray is slammed into the ground. Kurama jumps at Goku. Goku catches Kurama, but Kurama bites into his neck. Goku falls back and pushes Kurama off of him. Ray bites Kurama's leg. Kurama picks him up with his tails. Then Kurama bites Ray's neck. The tails let go of Ray, and the only thing holding Ray up is Kurama's jaw. Then Kurama swings his head around, and then throws Ray across the battlefield. Ray's chakra cloak dissolves. Goku and Kurama launch at each other. Goku's fists and Kurama's tails are locked.

Goku: Your holding back!

Kurama: My host is fighting me.

Kichi: Nanami, now! Wood prison!

Nanami: Wood Style: Four Pillar Prison!

A wood prison comes around Kurama and Goku. It starts absorbing their chakra. Soon the four tails cloak leaves Kenzo, and Kenzo is unconscious. The demon fox cloak leaves Renjiro, but he is still awake. The prison of wood comes down. Renjiro is weak and breathing heavy. Kichi slowly steps closer and closer to Renjiro.

Renjiro: I can't believe I have to use this.

Black marking comes all around Renjiro's body. Orochimaru starts smiling.

Orochimaru: The curse seal.

The markings start disappearing, but Renjiro starts morphing. Renjiro skin changes colors to a darker color. Almost inhuman. His hair gets longer, and turns dark purple. Renjiro gains a tail. Then Renjiros eyes change. They turn from sharingan into a different version of sharingan. He has three ying yangs in his eye connected by a small circle in the middle. The yin yangs and circle are all black, but the iris of his eye is red. Nanami walks beside Kichi.

Renjiro: No Nanami. This is a fight between Kichi and me.

Kichi and Renjiro are almost absorbed into another dimension. When Kichi opens his eyes he sees a completely dark world.

Renjiro: Do you not like it? This is my mangekyou sharingan power. I have my own personal dimension that I can bring anyone or anything to with my left eye. I control it with my right.

Kichi: Is this a genjutsu?

Renjiro: You wish. That's the funny thing about it. This is a real dimension.

Kichi: Are you going to kill me?

Renjiro: No, I'm going to leave you here, and then I will take out Nanami. Then I can leave. You will be returned to Nanami once I'm gone.

Kichi: What was the point of this whole debacle then?

Renjiro: To kill you, but I've decided against it.

Kichi: Won't you lose Orochimaru's trust?

Renjiro: I have a feeling if he sent me on this mission he already doesn't. I'll be seeing you Sensei.

Renjiro disappears from the dimension, and reappears behind Nanami.

Renjiro: Goodnight.

Renjiro chops Nanami in the back of the neck, and she falls asleep. Renjiro starts walking off. The curse seal turns off, and his eyes revert back to normal. He grabs his cloak and leaves. Kichi comes back to this dimension. He sees Nanami asleep on the ground. He wakes her up. The rest of team one wake up on their own. They return home to explain to the hokage what happened.

Tadako: You're telling me that Renjiro beat all of you?

Kichi: Yes, with the demon fox cloak and mangekyou sharingan we couldn't beat him.

Tadako: I'm just happy none of you died. All of you should report to the hospital to make sure you're alright.

Ray, Nanami, and Kenzo leave.

Tadako: That included you too Kichi.

Kichi: I thought Renjiro had betrayed us after he stopped giving me information. He didn't, did he?

Tadako: No, he started reporting directly to me.

Kichi: Why didn't you tell me?

Tadako: He said that he thinks Orochimaru knows that he isn't working for him. So he thought even making you not trust him would give him a little more time.

Kichi slams on his desk.

Kichi: Etsuo's life was for a little more time!?

Tadako: I didn't agree with that. What was I supposed to do?!

Kichi sighs.

Kichi: I don't know.

Kichi leaves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Renjiro gets back to Orochimaru's base. He walks into Orochimaru's office. Orochimaru is staring at him.

Renjiro: What?

Orochimaru: You've been betraying me for far too long, and I've grown tired of it. So I am giving you another mission, and you cannot return here unless you complete that mission. You will kill the woman that you report to. You will kill the Tenth hokage.

Renjiro:...

Orochimaru: Collect your things.

Renjiro walks into his room. He starts grabbing everything and putting it in his backpack. He looks at a case that looks like it's for glasses. He sighs and puts the case in his bag. His door opens while he's packing. Hanako is crying.

Hanako: You've been lying to me ever since I've known you!

Renjiro:...

Hanako: How could you?! Has everything you said to me just to get information?!

Renjiro: No-

Hanako: I don't want to hear it! It's just excuses that I can't believe! I don't want to see you again!

Hanako leaves the room. Renjiro finishes packing and goes to the exit. Orochimaru is standing there.

Orochimaru: You know your mission.

Renjiro leaves.
