~~~
Naruto strode forward, jumping as trails of power were being left behind. While it would be easy simply just erase them from existence with a slither of antimatter-
He wanted to show them the difference in strength between.
Only then will his victory will be most fruitful and most enchanting. Naruto appeared from above, his body enhanced by the antimatter swirling inside of his body.
I'll make you all regret facing me. Naruto mused, bringing his foot up before shooting it down, a wave of stabilized antimatter releasing from his axe kick.
Naruto saw them dodge the attack, their bodies moving with swiftness. Feeling a wave of chakra from behind Naruto turned his head to see Ay.
"Lightning Release: Spear of Indra!"
Naruto widened his eyes, mesmerized from the display of power. In Ay's hand was a spear of lightning that was over 20 meters in length.
*CRACKLE!*
The tendril of lightning sparked and crackled with brilliance, expanding under the influence of the epitome of lightning users.
If only using the antimatter inside of me through external means didn't actually use the positrons that I have. Naruto thought, looking into the future.
This wouldn't have been a problem if he could use antimatter without using methods like his Preta Path and Kengen collaboration technique.
Not wanting to waste the antimatter that he was wielding Naruto jumped to the side, a huge explosion occurring once the lightning made contact with the sand.
Naruto looked at the minions that were made up of complete sand.
They weren't destroyed? Naruto thought, his musings trailing as he saw numerous minions ride on top of a wave of sand. He now realized that there was something more than what meets the eye when it came to Gaara's sand ability.
Is it resistant to all basic natures? Naruto rushed to the side, sweat pouring down his face as he narrowly dodged a series of 3-dimensional blades that were seemingly infinite.
For someone like Naruto the Dust Release blades were trivial since even though they have high destructive abilities, they were too slow for him.
That's why...
"Now!" Mifune yelled, gesturing for them to attack all at once while Onoki prepared for a devastating attack. Naruto felt his heart thump.
Ushering one of his hands to the side created a large force that ushered space. Naruto thus was able to use Shinra Tensei to force everything around him back.
They were able to somewhat resist it. Naruto saw their creations unwaver in their structural durability. They did not perish under the power of the Shinra Tensei.
Looking into the future Naruto saw what was about to happen next.
Naruto looked upwards, seeing Onoki manipulate a very large blade that was 3-dimensional and very large in size. Even though he knew the future-
He couldn't help but feel a trickle of sweat slithering down his neck.
He saw everyone back away, preparing for the destruction that would surely occur once the blade of Dust Release would crash into the Earth.
"Hey... can't you give mercy to little old me?" Naruto disappeared, his body moving at light speeds. He breathed, appearing above Onoki.
*DOOM!*
Naruto widened his eyes as he saw Onoki turn around, completely being able to react to his speed. Taken aback, Naruto was forced to narrowly dodge a shimmering blade of Dust Release.
From afar the clouds above had split apart, reaching hundreds of miles away.
I would've died if I didn't dodge. Naruto thought, sensing bullets of water attempt to pierce his skull while falling from the sky. He summoned a clone, letting the clone shoot him away before he could get hit.
Naruto held the etheric blade made up of antimatter, he saw Onoki fly towards him, the giant 3-dimensional shape trailing from behind.
His eyes reflected against the Dust Release jutsu as he could hear a stream of sand travel towards him at insane speeds.
Summoning a clone under him, Naruto used the clone by pushing himself off of the clone, letting himself twirl with elegance.
*SHIMMER!*
Naruto's antimatter blade shot waves of power that made everything around them tremble. Effortlessly, an explosion that was the size of a nuclear explosion occurred.
Once everything had calmed down, Naruto activated his Susano'o and rushed forward in the abundance of smoke that covered the area with madness.
He had hoped that he could use the smoke to his advantage, wanting it so he could easily get a few hits in before the smoke cleared.
But he was wrong.
"Did you think we were that simple?" Tsunade asked, a fist driving towards the smoke, knocking it all away to give a clear and vivid look on where Naruto was located at.
Naruto ducked down slightly, using the arms of his Susano'o and brought it close to his face to block the attack from Tsunade.
*BLAAAASSSST!*
Huh?! Naruto widened his eyes as his Susano'o and him were thrown back, a large crack appearing right on both arms of the Susano'o. He felt a surge of surprise run across his body, mainly his face.
They're... catching up! Naruto thought, his mind racing with uncertainty. Ay appeared from behind, a grinning spreading across his face.
Minions of sand jumped towards him; and a burst of water gravitating towards him due to the water dragon that Mei manipulated shooting it out from its mouth.
Time seemed to slow down as his eyes peered into the glassy night, the darkness illuminating his vision with an millions of stars that showered over the world.
His features darkened.
"Shinra Tensei!*
Naruto glared at them all, pushing them all back with Shinra Tensei. The force that pushed them back was even greater than before, making it so where they couldn't resist the force.
Naruto landed on the ground, turning off his Susano'o before activating it back so the cracks would disappear, reforming the Susano'o back to normal.
The Uchiha looked back at the 5 Kage and Mifune as they got back up from the sand and water, standing back on their two feet with defiance.
His features intensified with a serious look shadowing over his face.
"It seems I was too easy you all," Naruto said, getting up as his antimatter blade fluttered with fury, "I won't make that same mistake again." He split his legs apart, the surge of power flowing all throughout his body.
"It seems I'll have to give you... the same crushing defeat that you all suffered like last time. But the only difference being..." Naruto's face was hollow.
"You will all die here."
He lifted the blade upward. The antimatter flowed all throughout the makeshift blade of antimatter that could explode the entirety of a continent.
"I'll show you... the very blade that will cut all of reality!" Naruto exclaimed, power overflowing from the blade made out of complete antimatter.
"Handan no Ha."
*SHIMMER!*
*SLICEEEEE!*
Naruto shot the blade down, letting it connect with the Earth. And, as beautiful as someone he knew, the a large wave of antimatter sprouted from the blade.
"This is the power that you won't reach." As the antimatter surged all through the air, moved, the malicious power emanating from it.
The waters split, and casualties were made, as the blade that will cut all of reality circled the planet, many lives ceasing to exist.
~~~
Madara grinned as he looked down towards the Earth as he saw the antimatter circle around the Earth. He was impressed by the discipline of the antimatter.
Naruto had it completely bent to his will - it was so stabilitized that some might confuse it as something else entirely.
He certainly made the Earth look like Saturn. Madara thought, a feeling of anticipation welling up from inside.
He could feel it.
The tragic defeat that Naruto will suffer from him.
~~~
Naruto landed on the ground once the antimatter stopped circling the planet at incredible speeds. Naruto didn't let his guard down while his eyes trailed their movements.
While they did dodge it, some weren't lucky enough to dodge the whole thing. Ay appeared from up front, a pained look on his face.
His arm had been obliterated off from a merely touch.
Naruto used his Susano'o, bringing its arm up and successfully blocked the one punch that was coming his way. Naruto gritted his teeth.
He was still being pushed back.
It wasn't doing him good that his strength that he had to use when holding back, was only a few notches higher than theirs.
Naruto jumped up slightly, letting one leg form. With quickness, Naruto swung the leg that had formed, pushing back Ay so he could gain distance.
"Don't count us just yet!" Mei yelled, appearing on top of her water dragon that hovered from the ground many meters above.
Naruto scowled.
"How defiant," Naruto said, a bit of sweat trickling down neck as he moved to the side. He commanded his Susano'o to lift its arm up.
*SLICE!*
Naruto widened his eyes. He looked up and saw Onoki with a very large 3-dimensional bow that shot out arrows of pure destruction.
The arrows had cut up the arms of the Susano'o.
"If only you didn't move." He scowled with disdain, missing narrowly because Naruto had moved last second. Naruto looked into the future, making him turn around to see spears of sand hone towards him.
Before anything could come closer Naruto shot his arm out towards the sky.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Naruto released a massive invisible force that shook everything around them. He backed away slightly, deactivating his Susano'o so he could regenerate the defenses of his ethereal warrior.
But he was suddenly brought back to reality, his thoughts stopping as the ground below him started to shake under indescribable power.
The ground started rising up in the air, spikes of earth and sand rushing from underneath. Naruto jumped away, avoiding the shimmering jutsus.
"ROARRRRR!"
Naruto turned around, his eyes landing on the water dragon was shooting forward with intense overflowing power.
Using his blade Naruto cut through the roaring water dragon, the antimatter staying stabilized all throughout the procedure.
There was no explosion.
Only the cutting that was at the subatomic level. Mifune came rushing from below, his body being raised by the abundance of sand that shivered under the gaze of the moon.
Looking down, Naruto used a clone shoot himself down.
A glare waa sent his way as Naruto positioned himself so his foot would crash into Mifune's stomach. But to his dismay, Mifune used his blade to block it.
"Taijutsu? Kenjutsu? You're an outdated material, Mifune-san." Naruto twisted his body, using the antimatter blade to cut the Aphrodite blade that he used.
Sensing danger, Naruto decided to use the Susano'o, protecting himself while letting him go on an offensive turn. Tsunade and Ay came from opposite sides, their fists crashing into his Susano'o.
This time there was no crack.
This time he was prepared.
The hands of his Susano'o convulsed with fury, grabbing hold of the two Kage with ease before throwing them down towards the sand.
Looking back at Mifune, he slightly scowled.
Gaara had used his sand to get him away before Naruto could reach him, destroying him with the destruction of his power. Naruto was forced to use a clone to get him back on the ground.
Hands of sand appeared, forming two mighty fists as they rushed together with incredible speeds. Naruto reactivated his Susano'o and matched the mighty fists of sand with fists of his own.
*CLASH!*
Their fists of might collided, creating large surges of power. For a second or two they were equal, but a gap in strength started to appear.
Although matching his strength was never the intention.
Naruto felt his leg get tugged, his eyes widening as he was pulled out of his Susano'o. He had soon realized that the entirety of that clash was for him to immerse himself to the point where he wouldn't notice the sand slithering from below.
Thrown to the sand, Naruto's body crashed into the sand, a wave of pain shrouding his body before he felt himself bounce upwards under the equalized force.
Due to the pain coursing through his body Naruto did not see the fist that was covered in lightning shoving right into his face.
*DRIP!*
Naruto felt a trail of blood leave his mouth and nose. He soon regained his balance, ducking down once he saw the future.
A blade made of Dust Release swatted down, narrowly missing the body of the Susano'o that protected Naruto from almost everything.
Naruto felt a bit of sweat drop onto the sand, dampening a tiny part of it. Naruto jumped away, the blade of Dust Release cutting down the Earth.
Earth spikes rose from the ground, bits of sand covering the sharp spikes that wanted to tear Naruto's body apart. His face distorted, forming a frown.
He jumped up, chakra radiating from the soles of his feet.
"Scissor Kick!"
Naruto ushered the spikes away, optimally using his two feet to destroy the spikes with little to no effort involved.
*TREMBLE!*
Naruto felt the ground below him tremble in almighty power. With curiosity Naruto looked from both sides as Tsunade, Ay, Onoki, and Mifune got out of the way.
Wow... is this actually necessary? Naruto thought, seeing two different waves shadowing over him. A wave of sand that reach about 50-70 meters up in the air.
On the other was a Tsunami that reached about the same length as the unwavering sand that came with passion. Naruto gnashed his teeth down.
They were being a piece of fucking work.
Naruto pushed his arms out, his eyes glaring down on the core of the entire Earth. He had only noticed it now.
The antimatter ran out. Naruto thought as he released a powerful surge of repulsive force that made the two waves cower in fear.
The waves of sand and water soon died down quickly, but Gaara stayed unrelented, sending numerous spikes, minions, and a large wave trailing.
Naruto pushed his hand out.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Due to the cooldown finally being done, Naruto let out a wave of invisible force destroy everything in its path.
And every grain of sand that was being manipulated ceased to exist. Naruto, now on a cooldown, now found himself being surrounded by the remaining 5 Shinobi that was close to him.
Naruto gritted his teeth.
Should I use the cloak? No, I'll save that just in case I'm actually having trouble. Naruto knew that using the cloak would be best option for him.
But he wanted to be unorthodox.
He wanted to evolve even further beyond his current limitations. That's why... he found this a necessary step for him.
He looked into his memories, needing to replicate what he had done earlier.
To bend space with just a single kick. I need to be able to do that without even needing to think about it. I need that under my whim. Naruto's eyes sharpened as he closed his eyes.
To him, everything was slowing down, his eyes were consuming their movements at paces that were unbelievably slow. Of course, this wasn't the case.
Naruto breathed slowly, intaking the actions that were coursing all round him. He closed his eyes, a grin tugging his lips.
He acknowledges their strength, their purpose, their will. Their latent ability made them incredibly strong, that's why...
He'll match their strength with even greater strength. And thus, the gears that binded him begun to rotate once more.
The gears of Nirvana.
Naruto huffed, raising his leg, sweat pouring down his face. Aside from Obito, this was the first time has truly been challenged in a long time.
"Front Kick!'
Naruto shoved his foot up in the air, ripping a tear into spacetime that created a wave similar to the repulsion and attractions properties of Shinra Tensei and Banshou Tenin.
A magnifying glass-like effect took place.
"Even when I said I'd stop underestimating I still did it anyway," Naruto spoke, breathing as Ay came towards him, "such half-assed thinking won't get me anywhere." As Ay neared Naruto-
A foot suddenly appeared under his chin.
Again! Naruto thought, his heart beating at a constant pace that was, in a way. unrelenting in some shape or form.
"180 Degree Kick!"
Naruto took a deep breath in, following it up by releasing it wholeheartedly. Ay was pushed back by the combination the kick and space being bent.
*SHIMMER!*
Naruto saw sand rattling from behind and bullets of water shooting up from the front. Naruto was not shaken.
"Zettaireido!"
Naruto made everything freeze in its place, the constant movement halting. Naruto shot out an expansive force of invisibility, knocking everything down.
The 5 Kage and Mifune looked at Naruto while gnashing their teeth down.
"Don't worry... I'll end your suffering here and now; because suffering has a cause, and its cause is to bring an end to its end." Naruto approached them, a shimmering light of antimatter materialized from behind him.
The Hotoke soon submerged itself into his body, bringing an immediate change in his body, enhancing him and granting him the power to use antimatter for a short time.
I was afraid of destroying the planet - I was scared of my own power. So... thank you... for enlightening me. Naruto thought, increasing his power beyond his normal limitations that he brought on to himself.
Naruto disappeared.
"I'll end this in 10 minutes," Naruto said, appearing in front of them at unusual speeds. Tsunade moved towards him, a burning fury unlocking within her eyes.
Naruto was not fazed.
With Naruto increasing his power, came the steeled resolve and will of the opposing forces. As of this moment, Naruto brought out all of their strength.
But Naruto did not falter.
"Like... this," Naruto muttered, dodging to side to avoid the punch that ruptured the ground miles away. Naruto got hold of Tsunade's arm, grappling it.
Judo basics 101!
"One Handed Shoulder Throw!"
Naruto threw Tsunade over his shoulder, slamming her down towards the soft, coarse grains of sand that shivered under the touch of humans.
Seeing into the future, Naruto felt the gears of time churning with quickness. He felt his legs get tugged by sand, throwing him away.
"You're done for!" Onoki yelled, a nigh-infinite amount of blade rushing from all sides. Naruto was then shrouded in a barrier of water.
A water prison. Naruto thought, his body submerged into a body of water that restricted his movements. Mei had her hand inside the water prison bubble.
I guess I'll have to use it. Naruto mused, releasing a small amount of antimatter that made contact with matter.
*EXPLOSION!*
Mei backed away, her eyes widening as everything around them suddenly exploded in fury. Freeing himself, Naruto saw the Dust Release blades cease to exist once making contact with the antimatter.
Not caring for his safety, Naruto shot forward, trails of stabilized antimatter radiating from his body with elegant swiftness.
Gaara came from above, sand shifting under his presence. Naruto peered at him, glancing briefly before disappearing at incredible speeds.
"You're more suitable as support," Naruto spoke, his voice appearing from behind. Gaara widened his eyes, turning around.
Gaara felt a sudden rise of pain. Naruto had struck bottom of his chin upwards with the heel of his palm. He then struck him in the neck with the heel.
Naruto then closed his hands, forming a fist that radiated power. With the second joint of his middle finger protruding, Naruto shot his fist forward.
A jab was done.
Gaara fell from his sand platform as Naruto jumped down and soon landing. His stern face felt an impending presence from behind.
*SLICE!*
Naruto backed away, dodging a half-broken Aphrodite blade that he had cut up through the use of his antimatter blade from earlier. Naruto appeared slightly to the side, an antimatter blade appearing on the palm of his hands.
With no effort, Naruto cut through the dangerous Aphrodite blade, his eyes glinting with madness. But soon found himself being slightly pushed back soon after.
Holding out his hand, Naruto pushed everyone back except for Mifune. He saw the Aphrodite armor trail all around his body. Naruto strode forward as the opposing force got into a stance.
"Hand-to-hand combat? It seems you don't understand," Naruto spoke, picking up his pace before seemingly appearing before Mifune.
"I'm a master of all forms of Martial Arts."
Naruto shot a flat fist towards Mifune's face but blocked it with ease. He smirked, shooting his elbow downwards to do a downwards elbow strike.
Does he think punches and kicks is all there is to Martial Arts? Naruto mused, using his palm to redirect the elbow made of Aphrodite away. Sensing the others approaching Naruto decided to end it here.
"Knee Strike!"
Forming a regular fist, Naruto struck his knee, knocking him down slightly before uppercutting him in the underside of his chin.
"Water Release: Tail of a Dragon!"
Naruto jumped out of the way, sightly disappointed that he couldn't kill Mifune. A swatting tail of water crashed into land, overflowing it with water that overridden the sand.
Naruto saw Mei approach with clones of water.
"Naruto, watch out." Naruto nodded, already sensing the danger. Turning around, Naruto moved to the side to dodge a large boulder that Tsunade threw without care.
Naruto looked up and saw Ay hovering hover him many meters in the air - even more than the two waves of tsunamis created earlier.
"Lightning Release: Spears of the Thunder Gods!"
Naruto widened his eyes as numerous spears of lightning appeared, shadowing over Ay with brilliance. But they soon resumed back to normal as he continued to dodge the tail of water and the attacks from Mei and her clones.
"MEI! Get out of the way!" Ay ordered, not wanting to hit her in the crossfire. Nodding her head, Mei backed away with obedience.
It wouldn't matter if she got in the way - she could die either way. This attack should be able to take down a multitude of continents if not handled with care. Of course, Ay should know this and Naruto was aware of that.
He saw every fiber of his being struggling to maintain such a technique.
Gaara hovered a slightly above Ay's spears of thunder, and rose his arms up in the air. And thus a dome of sand appeared over them, covering them.
It seems the rest got out of the dome in time. Naruto thought to himself. Smirking to himself, Naruto decided to bring out more power.
"I must say: you are most certainly the most powerful out of all 5 Kage - I wonder how Killer Bee would react when he sees you in heaven." At first Ay took this as a way to provoke him.
But he soon realized that he was implying that Killer bee was dead; and that was something that he simply could not take.
"YOU!!" Ay yelled, releasing a bellowing roar of rage as he glared down at Naruto with fury. Unknowingly to him, he had unconsciously poured in more power into the jutsu.
The tendrils of lightning became more potent. With anger boiling inside of him, Ay shot the spears of lightning down, hoping to strike down on the person he most hated.
"Jutsus that can destroy is fun and all, but do you know what is even more fun than that?" Naruto smirked, his body relaxing.
"Martial Arts - the epitome of hand-to-hand combat!" Naruto breathed steadily as the spears of lightning got closer and closer even more than before.
This was a martial art that he had created. While he did not use it often due to potent effectiveness that it has, he figures that this situation would be suffice.
"Be grateful because this is the first time I've shown this to my enemy." Naruto got into a stance, one that was unknown to humanity. This was a martial art that had been created through the use of all of Naruto's knowledge on the individual martial arts that existed.
A martial art that he had named after the peace that he wanted to create.
Hoisting his foot up, Naruto embedded a sufficient amount of antimatter to the very edge of his leg, reaching to his foot.
The spears were meters away from connecting.
"Grace: Kick of Divinity!"
Naruto's kick reached the sky. At first glance, once would think it was just a regular roundhouse kick that could be seen anywhere.
But they would be wrong.
As Ay saw Naruto shoot his leg up towards the sky, he was taken aback at such a sight that was demonstrated right in front of him.
He had never seen such a kick so beautifully done. The kick had no errors, and there was no movement being wasted while he did the kick.
The dome ruptured open, everything shifting and exploding all around them. Everyone widened their eyes once the explosion died down.
Naruto walked out from the dispersing smoke, his body riddled with grazes and minor gashes that had been done by the spears sent by Ay.
In his hand, was Ay, completely unconscious as his body was being dragged by Naruto. Wiping the blood off his face, Naruto continued forward without worry.
He smirked. "And thus... Ay was defeated." Naruto did not waver as he did not step down while walking towards them.
"By the man who wields The Most Perfect Martial Art."
~~~
Done. With the first Kage down, there are 4 more left to go (excluding Mifune.) I really thought this fight would end this chapter, but it seems this was not the case.
Anyway, I don't have much to say since I'll be relaxing for the rest of the night. As always, thank you for reading Grace.
Vote this chapter.
But until next time.
CYA!
