A/N:- Inkstone was broken for me yesterday, both website and app. Website is working fine after deleting the cache but the inkstone button on app is still missing. Does anyone has a solution?
--------------
Several figures walk out of the thick mist.
"They are"
The eyes of Tsunade, Mei, and the rest of themanders narrow as they recognize the new adversaries.
"D-Dan"
Tsunade''s lips tremble at the sight of a man with long, pale blue hair and dark green eyes.
"Is that you, Dan?"
Tsunade mumbles, and a drop of tear leaks from her eyes.
Fugaku, Hiashi, and the othermanders also clutch their fists as they recognize their n members within the group.
"Elders!"
Both Fugaku and Hiashi stare at the several old figures with white hair.
Some bitter memories sh across both Fugaku and Hiashi''s minds.
The shinobis in front of Fugaku are among the few of the rebel faction group. Previously, they were ughtered by the surprise attack of Akatsuki and Danzo before they could make their move. And now, Kabuto has resurrected them to wage war.
Simrly to Hiashi, he recognizes the few elders as the members of the conservation faction in his n.
Another squad with Konoha and Kiri''s headbands walks out of the fog.
"They are they are a part of the Hokage and Mizukage protection squad."
A few old veteran shinobis recognize the group of new Edo soldiers.
Asuma''s expression turns ugly as he recognizes a group of shinobis.
"The Twelve Guardian Ninjas!"
Asuma stares at the central figure within the ranks of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.
"Nakamura-san!"
The shinobi in the center have an orange-red iris. Two-tear-like red marking flows down from the bottom of his eyes over his cheeks. The man has the appearance of a lean adult in histe twenties with a build of over 190 cm. His crimson hairs shine under the asional glow of the moonlight.
Hmm
The central figure, as if sensing a gaze, turns in Asuma''s direction and is slightly stunned for a few seconds at Ausma''s appearance.
"Ajuka, is that you?"
The shinobis with crimson hairs open his mouth.
"No, I am not him." Asuma shakes his head.
"I am his younger brother, Asuma." Asuma shakes his head.
"No wonder!"
The crimson hair shinobis nod his head and nce towards the line-up of the Allied Shinobi forces.
''So, that''s the legendary me God of Konoha, Nakamura Kazuya.'' Asuma murmurs as he recalls the legend of the shinobi in front of him.
Nakamura Kazuya was a legendary hero of Konoha who made a name for himself after the end of the First Shinobi War. He actively fought in the Second Shinobi War and won several victories for Konoha. He was once a part of the Twelve Guardian Shinobis andter returned to Konoha to teach my brother under Father''s instructions.
He lost his life while protecting his students against the ambush of a toon of the Kumogakure. His death cast a shadow on my brother, whoter joined the anbu to ovee the grief.
"My body isn''t under my control!"
The me god Kazuya raises his hands and makes a series of hand signs.
"Fire Release: Great me Destruction Wave,"
Kazuya takes a deep breath and infuses arge amount of fire chakra into his mouth. He expels arge stream of mes from their mouth that progressively widens with range. The high-temperature mes rapidly evaporate arge quantity of seawater and expand the Mist field.
Several water-style usersbine forces from the allied shinobi side to douse the mes of therge-scale jutsu.
The rest of the twelve Guardian Shinobis follow the cue and flicker amongst the allied Shinobis force to cause chaos.
Akira, Yagami, Asuma, and several other shinobis from Kiri confront them.
On the other side of the battlefield,
"Tsunade!"
Dan turns towards Tsunade.
"Dan"
Tsunade grits her teeth and enters into a stupor as the trauma from the past resurfaces. Dan slowly raises his hands against his will and makes a series of hand signs.
Swish swish
"Secret Technique: Spirit Transformation jutsu,"
Dan''s spirit leaves his body and quickly flies towards the group of captains and vice-captain.
Dan possesses the body of a captain. The eyes of the captain turn white upon sessful possession.
sh sh
The possessed captain swings his de and slices the neck of his subordinates.
Whoosh
Dan''s spirit leaves the body of the captain and possesses another shinobi.
The other Edo shinobis also wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Fugaku and Hiashi also confront their respective elders in battle.
"Tsunade-san, snap out of it!"
Mei''s loud voice wakes Tsunade out of her stupor. Mei shakes Tsunade''s body to wake her up.
"Tsunade-san, what''s going on? What kind of secret technique is this?" She points towards the flying spirit of Dan.
"That''s the Spirit Transformation Jutsu! It''s a powerful, forbidden jutsu that allows the user to leave their body as a spirit and possess another person. The user of this technique can suppress and copse the victim''s spirit, killing them in the process. He can then freely manipte the body of the victim and use all the abilities of their victim, including their Kekkei Genkai.
Also, when the user is in spirit form, ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu are ineffective against him. Only the Fuinjutsu technique can restrain the spirit form. Also, the body of the user will be vulnerable to a sneak attack when the spirit is out of the body. Though such weakness no longer exists for an Edo body." Tsunade reveals the nature of the abilities of her former lover.
She closes her eyes as some painful memories of her past resurface. Dan''s dying moments sh past her eyes. She clenches her fists and turns towards the spirit form of Dan.
"I will stop him!"
Tsunade takes a step forwards and flickers toward Dan''s figure. She takes out a Fuinjutsu scroll from her storage. She makes a series of hand signs and tosses them toward the battlefield.
"Four Violet mes Formation,"
A purple me barrier istes Tsunade and Dan''s spirit from the rest of the shinobis.
"Tsunade"
Dan''s spirit pauses and turns to Tsunade.
"Dan"
Tsunade extends her fingers toward Dan''s spirit. Dan''s spirit glows and possesses Tsunade''s spirit. Both Tsunade and Dan appear inside Tsunade''s mindscape.
Several sealing formations appear in Tsunade''s mind and restrict Dan''s spirit while freeing him from Kabuto''s influence.
"That was a wonderful n!" A smile appears on Dan''s face as he nces at Tsunade''s image.
"It wasn''t me. It was my most brilliant student!" A prideful smile appears on Tsunade''s face.
------------------------------
At some distance away from the new first division,
Swoosh BAM
A bandaged hand erupts out of the ground.
Rumble rumble
The surrounding sand, debris, and rocks tremble as the bandaged figure of M crawls out of the ground.
"That Onoki I didn''t expect him to possess such a trump card. To think, he will forego his stubbornness and learn enemy jutsu."
M cracks his neck and nces in the direction of the allied shinobi force.
"The preparations areplete, heh!"
Kabuto''s lips curl into a smile.
Swish swish
He makes a series of hand signs and Mperfectly imitates them.
"These hand signs" Mrecognizes the involuntary hand signs his body makes.
"Summoning Jutsu,"
He ms his palm on the ground.
Poof
With a puff of white smoke, a wood coffin erupts out of the ground.
Shoom
A shiver runs down M''s spine as he senses the chakra within the wooden coffin.
"This chakra" M''s eyes narrow as goosebumps crawl across his body. His hands tremble in fear from the sheer intensity of chakra within the wooden coffin.
BOOOM
The wooden coffin explodes into pieces to reveal a figure wearing a high-cor ck shirt with blue pants and bandages around his shins. A crimson armor with numerous metal tes, forming protective guards along his chest, waist, shoulders, and thighs, covers his clothes.
"Finally. Looks like he''s managed to sessfully groom that brat, Nagato."
"I didn''t think I will be summoning you"
"If I''m mistaken, you are"
"The user of this Edo-Tensei jutsu has a keen understanding of war. To think of using you"
"Did you say Edo-Tensei? This is not the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu?"
The new Edo figure nces at his hands.
"Hehe this new body of yours is way better than your body in its prime." Kabuto''s voice rings in the unknown figure''s head.
"Way better than my original body, you say"
Shiing
A pulse of chakra shes past Kabuto''s mind as he senses a pair of eyes locked onto him.
Gulp
Kabuto gulps his saliva in fear.
''There is no way he can figure out my location with just that.''
"So, that''s where you are hiding?"
However, the next words of the figure send a shiver down Kabuto''s spine.
"How did you"
