The Path Of a Hunternin

Decisive Battle

Two days ago, a large-scale battle between the alliance forces and the white zetsus took place. The battle was brutal and only ended due to a strange golden light that a few managed to conclude was caused by the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. With that battle gone, now another was about to take place that certainly would surpass the previous one in power and carnage. On one side, was Uchiha Madara and Pein followed by seven jinchuuriki going from the Nibi to the Hachibi. The other side was the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki followed by the five kages and elite jounin of Konoha, Kumo and Iwagakure. Although the jinchuuriki were mere dolls, bodies used by Madara, they couldn't help but bring forward feelings of dread to those who knew them.

Onooki and Kizuki knew both Han and Roushi and were familiarized with their history. The Tsushikage felt a bit of remorse seeing as he didn't lift a finger to stop these two from being captured by the Akatsuki.

Mei observed Yagura and immediately remembered her fight with the jinchuuriki before taking the mantle of Mizukage. She knew Utakata only in passing.

The Raikage was fixing on both Yugito and Kirabi with a snarl on his face. In Yugito's case, A wasn't even aware of the organization's existence, but with Kirabi, he underestimated their boldness in invading his village a second time. Now, here he was facing the consequences of his misjudgment. The rest of the allied forces looked at the enemy with nothing more than determination as they analyzed the situation. Jiraiya was no doubt facing the enemy with the rinnegan, since it reminded him so much of Yahiko, an old student of his born in Amegakure. Tsunade was eyeing the rinnegan user as well, but also looking at the main enemy, Madara. She remembered one Uchiha Madara when she was a child playing in her grandfather's backward. Because of the mask, she couldn't recollect much. Naruto was focusing solely on Madara. No one knew it but the hunter-nin had activated senjutsu and his eyes were the same as a toad's.

Looking around the vicinity, Naruto was surprised when he felt another presence a couple miles away from his position. This feeling was similar to the one he felt from the six men with the same eyes.

"I'd have pictured this area to be clean of other threats, but it seems you have someone else hidden. Someone's chakra feels the same as Pein over there." A small silence reined after his declaration as everyone was focused on another threat. Pein, though, didn't take his eyes away from the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. Madara for his part released a small chuckle at his comrade's misfortune. Who would have thought that someone would have been able to sense the real one from this distance.

"It seems that you managed to pinpoint my real location, Kyuubi. Too bad none of you will be able to reach that far." Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other and nodded briefly.

They would be pairing up against him and hopefully end it quickly. Even if there were six of them, Jiraiya and Tsunade could handle them. Naruto deactivated his senjutsu and smirked at the enemy in front of him. As a hunter ninja, he couldn't help but smile as he was now facing perhaps Konoha's oldest missing-nin. He could only imagine how thrilled his boss would be to face the man himself. Quickly activating the golden cloak around his body, Naruto wasted little time and charged at Madara while golden hands were busy performing hand seals.

Fuuton Kyoumou Shippu (Wind Release: Fierce Hurricane Technique)

Naruto vanished and reappeared in the middle of the opposing force before releasing the deadly technique consisting of a gigantic hurricane with slicing capabilities. The enemy immediately left the vicinity, not wanting to risk getting hit. When Naruto emerged from the crater he created, he was face to face with the swirling masked person. Stopping a while to inspect the enemy, Naruto realized both the sharingan and a different eye, similar to the others. Madara also had a strange shaped fan behind his back, which though the blond couldn't figure its use, didn't mean it wasn't any less dangerous. He needed to treat this man with extreme care, so imagining the fan to be useless would be sealing his fate.
