49 Ending Danzo

'Ten minutes. I only need to hold on for ten minutes and he dies'

The reason why I was thinking that as I ran towards the once Thousand Fissures Desert -now known as the Weekborn Lake- was because of Danzo's "Izanagi". He had ten Sharingan's implanted in his right arm, each eye capable of holding on for a minute of active Izanagi. All I had to do was hold on.

"Suiton: Severing Wave!"

Focusing a huge chunk of chakra into the Jutsu, I pressurized the water as much as I could before spitting it at him. A whip-like stream of water shot our of my mouth directed at Danzo, who tried to block it with his rip-off Mokuton. In the end, he had to dodge it when the tree was broken. The biggest advantage I had was how much Chakra he had to consume against my almost infinite reserves of it and his lack of mastery over the techniques he was trying to use.

Thinking of a battle-plan while on the run, I was taken out of my thoughts by a sudden blade of wind headed in my direction, one which I was barely able to block in time with a Water Shield made of violent water currents.

'I have no time to think too much. Guess I'll have to do that now'

Focusing on everything around me, I began to feel Nature. It now took a very short time for me to enter Sage Mode, so I was able to do it just on time to dodge Danzo's next attack. As much as I loved seeing his shocked face when he saw my Sage Mode, I had no time to enjoy it. He threw a punch at my face, which I instinctively redirected towards the ground. And thank god I did.

Where I once stood there was now a crater big enough to fit my entire body. I could only guess how strong the punch was -and how much damage it would've dealt. For a short while we engaged in a Taijutsu battle, until I realized I couldn't win against a Sharingan with pure skill in hand to hand combat. Not like this at least.

'Eight minutes left' "True Beast: Okami!"

Entering my Okami form while in Sage Mode was a huge boost. One that Danzo didn't see coming. Disappearing from my previous spot, I reappeared behind him and kicked him on the temple. It was strong enough to send him flying -or perhaps I should say swimming- through the water. Much to my displeasure, the DNA of the First made him recover extremely soon.

Dodging a few blades of wind that came from below the water, Danzo came out of it while trying to impale me with his Mokuton. In another feat of pure instinct, I summoned a water sword and cut throug it. Taking a few steps backwards, Danzo tried to pressure me into a corner -figuratively, as there were no corners to push anyone into in the middle of the once desert-. Unluckily for him, that didn't work out nicely.

"Suiton: Bakusui Shōha!"

Both from the palms of my hands and the water around us, a huge wave was born. It crashed with Danzo and pushed him a good distance, around a hundred meters, from me. I didn't give him a chance to recover his breath.

"Suiton: Drilling Water Spears! Water Beast! Severing Wave!"

Making use of the easiness being in Sage Mode brought when using Jutsus, I threw a flurry of attacks in Danzo's directions. None were lethal enough to kill him, but it served it's purpose. Stalling for more time.

'Five minutes left'

Deciding that bringing the fight back to Danzo was a good idea, I made use of one technique I hadn't used in a long time. Puddle Transportation. Since the entire areas was covered in water, I simply appeared behind Danzo and kicked his knee, making him fall on one leg. That gave me the opening I needed to knee his face in, effectively pushing him away from me again. It proved to be useless when, once agains, Danzo recovered almost instantly.

'Fucking Hashirama, why couldn't people just burn you to ashes when you died?!'

The heat of the battle seemed to have made my senses spread thin, since I never felt Danzo's clone attacking from below the water. I barely got out of the way, though not unscathed. A few wounds, already healing thanks to the Sage Mode, Isobu and my Uzumaki genes, were leaving scars in my back, chest and arms. It had been a "tornado" attack composed of bladed wind, which escaped by teleporting somewhere else through the water.

Danzo didn't want to give me time to catch my breath either, it would seem. Considering how he, once again, was attacking me. Once again the fight turned into a melee, but I had a few more tricks to play.

"Sage Arts: Odayakana Taihō"

Danzo didn't seem to notice the small bombs of water I was setting along our path, all emerging from behind him. Using my Raging Wolf Style to it's utmost, attacking with my water gauntlets and shin guards.

'Three minutes left'

As I said that, I drove Danzo towards the water bombs and, disappearing from my place, they exploded on him. That was my first actual mistake. The bombs proved to be a slightly too lethal attack even for Danzo, on par with the destruction caused by a Rasenshuriken. Thus, his Izanagi activated, giving me little to no time gap to dodge his next attack. When I reappeared away from Danzo, a new scar was left, but this time on my neck with the ever so minuscule droplet of blood dripping down from where the wound should be.

Sucking in a lot of air to calm myself down, my brain came back to normal functioning. I wasn't the only one agitated though. Danzo seemed to be raging at the realization that his ultimate cheat hadn't worked, but at the sudden realization of something that he dreaded.

'No time left'

His Chakra reserves had to be low, his Sharingan's were now useless and so was his Izanagi and he had no way of escaping. I now had only one thing to do: Get rid of him for good.

'Isobu wake up... I need your Chakra for this'

'You got it Ryota. Just make sure to let me sleept a little while longer next time. Like... a month?'

A huge amount of Chakra came from inside me and covered my body. I expected the usual red cloak to appear, but it didn't. I guessed that the Chakra being given willingly together with the unique seal working were what affected Isobu's Chakra Mode. The chakra around me was teal coloured and I looked exactly like Naruto did when Kurama first gave him his Chakra willingly. Isobu's Chakra mixed with the Nature Energy I was absorbing, making me even stronger than I already was.

There was only one thing to make sure Danzo died. Focusing my Chakra on one single point above me, I ran through a series of Handseals. Strength of an Ox, free as a Bird, fast as a Snake, fierce as a Tiger and powerful as a Dragon.

Before releasing my Jutsu, I reappeared below Danzo transporting through the water. He had no time to react.

"Sage Arts: Uzushio!"

Now, I know Chakra Mode is supposed to be unique to Kurama, at least if you base your info on the wiki says. So please just take this as me making it be a result of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style.
