12 Chapter 12: Excited for a good fight!

A day later, at the borders of the land of fire, 5 jonins from Konoha were speaking to a Chunin.

"Are you sure they were headed that way?" Shikaku asked.

"Yes Nara-sama, you should hurry, in just a few hours they'll probably enter the land of fire." The Chunin spoke.

He led a team of genin and guarded the borders north of the land of fire. And they had gotten the news from a few of their spies that were in the land of hot water about the Gold and Silver brothers.

They were headed towards the west, to the borders between the land of fire, the land of hot water, and the land of Rice.

The Jonins hurried away towards the west. A few hours later they had arrived near another base that Genins guarded.

Their leader, this time a Jonin stepped forward.

"you finally arrived, we haven't gotten any sight of them yet." The jonin said.

Making four of the five jonins that had arrived from Konoha relax slightly.

They all looked tired except for Oden, who had activated his Mugengan.

"Let's rest for a bit until they arrive then," Shikaku said, however, Oden didn't agree.

"No, Take your team and leave this place towards somewhere safe, this isn't a fight that you can handle," Oden said towards the Jonin guarding the border.

The jonin looked unsure, however, Shikaku nodded towards him which made the jonin leave, ready to escape with his underlings.

"They are closing in, in about thirty minutes they'll be here.. we should run forward and stop the in the land of hot water," Oden said. He didn't speak without reason, he had felt their chakra from here.

"Oden, we need to rest, we hurried all the way here, we also need to come up with a fight plan," Shikaku said.

"No need, you three support mr anbu while he fights one of the brothers, leave the other to me." Oden said.

All three were shocked by this, the anbu didn't show any expressions, at least not through his mask.

"Oden this isn't..." Inoichi said, before being interrupted by Oden.

"Don't worry, I got help." He said as he summoned Enma.

They all understood why he was willing to let the four of them fight together when they saw Enma. They knew that Enma on his own was as strong as an elite jonin.

"We don't need to defeat them, just fight them long enough that their pursuers catch up." Oden said, trying to gain their approval.

"We don't know if the Kumo nin will turn their swords against us." Shikaku said.

"They won't, they can't afford to fight two enemies at the same time." The anbu Commander finally said his piece.

Silence took over as they tried to figure out their move.

"Fine, let's go with Oden's plan, however, I will lead the attack on one of them together with Inoichi and Choza, Mr. Anbu, you will stay back and support us, be ready to back up Oden if he needs it." Shikaku finally found a solution, He understood Oden's value to Konoha, they couldn't afford to lose him.

As such he made The anbu commander the support so that he could help Oden if he needs it, even though The anbu commander is the strongest individual in their group, at least to his knowledge, and it would be better if The Ino-Chiko-choo group supported him instead.

"Let's rest until they neared a little bit more so we can regain some energy, after all, we did hurry all the way from Konoha to here." He finished.

They sat down and rested for ten or so minutes before Even Inoichi finally felt the presence of the two brothers that were nearing.

when he felt their chakra, he couldn't help his gaze from reaching Oden and stopping there for a second in aghast.

'How did he sense them from so far away?!' Inoichi thought. As a sensor, he understood how superior Oden sensory skills had to be.

"Let's go and meet them in the land of hot water," Shikaku said as they rose up and started running towards the two brothers.

"Be ready!" Oden shouted as they neared the two. brothers.

The five of them stopped in a clearing and waited and soon two brothers appeared in front of them.

One with yellow hair, the other with silver hair.

The yellow-haired one held on to a big, red, and white fan made of feathers while the other brother held a square-shaped sword and gourd.

"Kinkaku, looks like we finally meet the Konoha rats, should we play along?" The silver-haired one spoke amused by the fact that Konoha only sent these unknowns.

"Finally, don't play around, he has the Mugengan, and they are the famous Ino-Chiko-cho group." Kinkaku spoke, with more seriousness in his voice.

At the same time, the Konoha shinobi were both confused and nervous because of something they had noticed.

"They have the Mugengan..." Choza finally spoke the obvious. All of them had noticed that the Gold and Silver brothers had their sclera totally black.

"This isn't good, which one of you is the best at making seals?" Oden spoke telepathically as Inoichi synced their minds. Oden realized that they were reincarnated.

"I am." The anbu commander thought.

"Then new plans, You three fight the silver-haired one, and I'll take on the golden-haired one. You create two powerful seals that can stop their bodies from moving." Oden commanded.

"They are not using the Mugengan, they are reincarnated using the second Hokages Impure world reincarnation summoning technique, they have infinite Chakra and stamina, we can only defeat them by sealing them." Oden explained.

Seeing their worried faces, Oden felt the need to give them some hope.

"Don't worry, they are only at 70-80 % of their strength, and soon we'll have a backup from Kumo. we only need to hold them back, and don't let their weapons through you." Oden further explained.

All of this happened in an instant before the Brothers suddenly attacked with a big fire jutsu.

Oden was the first to react as his hands moved at lightning speed, a big protective wall was brought In front of them, protecting them from the fire.

The Anbu commander retreated and started working on his seals.

Oden made another set of seals as his wall suddenly turned into dozens of spikes and towards the brothers making each of them dodge.

Seeing how the two were split, the Ino-Chiko-cho team attacked the silver-haired one.

Oden himself felt excited. He had worked as a jonin for the last few years, and had gone on dangerous missions where he had to fight multiple jonins at the same time. But most of his missions were very highly ranked because of the secrecy, confidentiality, and sensitivity of the missions' essence, and he rarely got to fight to his hearths content.

After reliving in this world for 15 years, Oden started enjoying a good fight and pushing his limits.

So right now, he couldn't help but to let a smile creep up his lips.
