19 Chapter 18 - Death
We're at the arena now. The bandage guy is still alive, surprisingly.
My clone dispelled when the henged naruko arrived.
I told her to transform into her male form. I also gave her a new outfit but... she didn't like it.
Big brother is hurt y'know... I give up on making her wear it...
It seems like Hokage-sama has taken my advice and faked Hayate's death.
Right now, I'm wearing the <simply jacob coat> and <simply jacob hidden blade guntlet> on my right arm. My mask was pinned on my head just beside my face.
A red scarf and a belt with my hydro vision attached.Sleeveless black turtleneck on the inside and black anbu pants.
My ninja pouch is outside my jacket, sticking to the outer belt.
「Naruto put this on your pocket」 I said handing a seal and pointing her pocket near her kunai pouch.
「wha-」
「just do it」
What I give to naruko was an absolute transformation seal to change one's gender.
But this one only changes your outside look, it won't change the real body.
It activated directly when naruto take it.
Of course, it has some parts from the cursed heavenly seal I analyzed last night, just to suck nature chakra from the air and keep the seal running.
I made them after leveling up my Fuinjutsu skill like a mad man, it was tough.
「Don't lose it, it will help you maintain your male form」
Naruko lit up on that 「alright」 she says.
.
.
.
Naruto's fight with Neji was epic. I occasionally used seishingan to match its 'camera angle' to the anime.
Cuz it somehow boring when watching from afar.
Sasuke's match was on hold.
Kankuro gave up. Shikamaru's match ends with him giving up too.
And then my match with Bandage guy...
Sasuke's match was skipped 2 times? Well, I get inside the arena and that Bandage guy too.
Me and that dosu guy were just about to start when suddenly Sasuke and Kakashi shows up.
This bastard...
「I wanted to fight Sasuke-kun but, I think I'll settle with you first」 the Bandage guy said.
「You!..... You!!!... Who are you again?」
.
.
.
「IT'S DOSU KINUTA!!」
「oh... right, dosu. Dosu something I remember you now...」
「KINUTA!!!!」 dosu something said.
「you arrogant... you had not beat me yet, you punk!!」
He responded to my sarcasm. Yes, it's sarcasm.
「you're the arrogant one here! It's not my fault I don't remember you, you look like a backside character! With those bandages and all」
A vein mark appeared on Dosu's head.
Wait, he wears a bandage there... how did it appear?
「Now then, the third match, Begin!」
Thus, Genma declared.
Dosu revealed his sound gauntlet thingy and charge at me, throwing shurikens.
I dodge it and throws kunai at him.
He dodges and managed to get near me he tried to stab me with a kunai.
I parried it with a hidden blade and kick him, sending him 5 meters back as he did backflip land.
My hidden blade can be seen as my hand poses.
We stare at each other as the crowd starts to cheer.
Suddenly I felt intense nausea, I clutch my head with my left hand as I feel a liquid is dripping from my left ear.
I touch it to see what it is, it's blood.
「Why don't you use that power??? You could actually beat me with it」 Dosu said.
「Pfft」
「what's so funny」 his face got serious.
As he tries to charge me again. I parried his kunai and jump back to gain distance between us.
「I don't need the seal to beat you, let me teach you something...」
I paused as I retract my hidden blade and then put my left hand on my pouch.
「I'll teach you the first Shinobi Battle Jutsu. Taijutsu. 」
I said while activating my seishingan.
Dosu was silent, while I can hear my teammate's thoughts from the spectator seats.
I silently took something out from my pouch.
'no way...' naruto's thought
'no way...' sakura's thought
'there's no way' Sasuke's thought
「HN!!!」 I said bringing out icha² paradise, hold it on my left hand.
.
.
.
「What's the matter? Aren't you going to charge at me? 」
「...why do you have that...book? 」
「Why do you ask? It's too good to be left for later dattebane 」
「Don't worry. With you as my opponent, it doesn't make so much difference」 I said grinning.
「OI!!! FIGHT HIM SERIOUSLY, OOOOOOIIIIIII」 I heard Naruto shout.
'That squirt... I'll need to teach him a lesson again.'
Some jounins are glaring at Kakashi, as he throws his arm in the air in an "I don't know anything " manner.
I can see Sasuke and sakura face palmed too.
「DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME, KID!!!」 Dosu yelled.
He charges at me again. I dodge his punch with my left hand while I was reading icha².
He then tried to punch me with his right hand.
My eardrums are bleeding.
The blood flows through my ears while I pay no mind, I can't hear anything anymore excepts my teammates and Dosus' mind.
I dodge and dodges, as I saw an opening.
There's a human-sized boulder behind him.
I let him punch me in the gut this time, but soon after that I kawarimi'd to the boulder.
I readied my position as my teammates on their seats shouted internally on their minds.
'Is he going to...!!!' sakura thought.
'hm? This looks similar...' naruto thought.
'That position, no way' Sasuke thought.
I squat on the ground, while my hands are forming tiger seal and my icha² is being held between my armpits as I shouted.
『Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!!!!!』
「ARRRGRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH」
The spectators' reaction was quite a sight to see.
「YOU! YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!」
He charges at me again after clutching his butt, while shouting he'll kill me.
「you're so persistent....」
I dodge 2 sound waves attack as I put my book back inside my pouch.
I summoned water twin sword water swords with my hands crossed.
The ground below me glows blue as water starts to spin on its corners.
Dosu shouted again before preparing an attack.
「LET ME KILL YOU!!!!」
Sound waves rage on his right arm gauntlet, as he charges in
The atmosphere tensed more when we both shouted our techniques.
『Resonating Echo Speaker!!!』
『Foul Legacy: Raging Tides!!!』
Giant sound waves and water whales clashed.
Chance!
Dosu was too focused on our clashed attacks.
I sneaked on him with 『create ID』and appeared behind him.
『Mass enfeeblement』 I whispered as I punch his face.
I need to make it as I punch him and he passed out.
Phew.
Any more than this, my soul rings would've shown...
lucky...
「Winner, Uzumaki Karma」
The crowd cheers.
.
.
.
'Well, that was fun'
I lazily get up to the participant's seat by wall walking, while taking out and reading icha².
I can hear some curses while Seishingan is still active.
My friends congratulate me while naruto stares at me with disapproval.
Oi... your outside's a boy but, you're a girl!!
Don't make such a face! Big brother feels bad...
.
.
.
_Time skip_
It's time for Sasuke's match, yaaaaay.
Got invaded, yaaaaay.
Hiruzen will die, yaaaaay.
What am I doing you ask? Well right now, billions of white feathers falling from the sky.
All of the jounins did a tiger seal and shout "kai", while I stayed silent pocketing my book back into the pouch.
Maa~ I don't need sleep, why would I sleep from genjutsu?
'Seems like it's going to happen soon'
.
.
.
Some anbu's trying to enter the barrier made by the sound nins on the roof and got burned on fire.
「A field creation technique, eh? They're not normal ninja. If they have outmaneuvered ANBU members」
Kakashi said besides me.
Gai in front of me and Kakashi ran to the place but got stopped by Anbu.
4 sound nins appeared beside the Anbu.
「You sure are one annoying guy, kabuto」 I said.
Kabuto flinched didn't say anything, while Kakashi narrowed his eyes.
「Oi, sensei. I'll go try to dispel the field barrier thing」(Karma)
「Well I'm not surprised anymore... I'll leave that up to you」 (Kakashi)
I heard Kakashi said, before I disappeared by entering 『empty ID』
.
.
.
「Perhaps when you grow old you become used to peace. Sarutobi-sensei...」
「I see, karma is right...you're...」
「Kukuku...」
.
.
.
Orochimaru stabbed his own hand with the kunai he uses to take Hokage-sama hostage.
「I like to see moving things They're boring when they don't move. A windmill that is not moving... can be nice from time to time...」 Orochimaru said before pausing.
「Now, I want to move the windmill with the wind called the Destruction of Konoha」 He finished.
As he throws kazekage hat revealing his full face.
「You haven't changed I see」 Hiruzen said also throwing his Kage hat.
I made clones to identify the barrier, I also ordered some clones to go and deal with the giant snakes.
Well then, what should I do next? I watch!
What??? I'll interrupt later alright!!
I still want to see even half of the scene!!
I'll save him later when the Edo tensei'd Hokage's showed up!!
.
.
.
_time skip brought to you by... DAMN, THAT'S A GOOD FIGHT SCENE_
.
.
.
I watch them as hiruzen stopped yondaime's coffin summoning.
Shodaime's and nidaime's coffin was summoned.
Their lit slowly fell revealing their unconscious self.
「I-it can't be! Those personages are...! 」 some random Anbu said.
「Now what will you do... sensei, no. Lord... third Hokage...」 Orochimaru said.
.
.
.
Karma Uzumakis' POV
「Long time no see... Saru」 Hashirama said.
「Oh, it's you... You've gotten old, Sarutobi」 Tobirama said.
「I never thought I would meet the great brothers in this manner. It's regretful」 hiruzen said.
「Please prepare yourselves... Shodaime, Nidaime」 The anbus watching got shocked at this.
「There's always fighting... no matter when you live」 Shodaime said.
「You like that, don't you? 」 Orochimaru asked nidaime.
「No good will come by deriding the dead and playing around with time! 」 sandaime shouted.
They talk a bit more until Orochimaru placed a kunai with a red seal tied on it into the two Hokage's heads. Smokes started to emerge, it looks like the two Hokage bodies were on fire.
Now... when should we interfere... the plot was good, I don't want to mess it up...
But I don't want to make naruko sad either...
I watch the fight with seishingan, sandaime has used a dead demon consuming seal.
Well... time for me to shine.
I sneaked on them as I saw sandaime clones are holding on to the Hokage's body.
The shinigamis' hand is growing from their stomach grasping the two kages' stomachs.
Slowly, shodaimes' and nidaimes' souls were pulled by the hands.
「Fuin!!!」 sandaime's clones shouted. The same mark as naruto's seal appeared on their stomach.
The shodaime and nidaime have dissolved in mud, revealing dead sound nin.
「your own subordinates...」 Hiruzen said as he saw what Orochimaru did to his own subordinates.
Hiruzen has the look of nostalgia as it was the flashback of him with the other kages before crying.
「Toying with even the lives of your own subordinates...! 」 hiruzen said.
「Subordinates lives? Stop the endless nonsense! 」 Orochimaru shouted.
He now tried to take Orochimaru's' soul.
I need to dispel everything somehow...
I don't know if the jutsu could be dispelled once it's activated... that's it! Touma's "Imagine Breaker!!!"
I opened market skills and scroll down to that skill. 500,000 Ryo... I still have 300 mil. So, I guess it's alright.
DING*
≪SKILL 『Imagine Breaker』 HAS BEEN ACQUIRED≫
Imagine Breaker (active)
Effect:
Negation energy materialized in the right hand. It negates every kind of attack created by any kind of energy.
Debuff:
Other skills turned off when active.
Nice.
I flew with create ID, the moment I was inside I get out of ID and then creates a water spear.
Sandaime was just going to trade Orochimaru's life with his, but I interfered.
The roof's got craters as smoke and dust covered my whole body.
The snake and the monkey jumped back to gain distance.
「what is this???」 Orochimaru said.
「what's the meaning of this, karma-kun?!」 sandaime ask.
「Sorry sandaime-sama, but if you die. Then naruto's going to be sad dattebane」
「kukuku... karma-kun... I guess you would've come after all. Now how would you beat me? 」
「I see you're quite busy, Orochimaru. Molesting other people's bodies and now stealing them? Well, as expected for the pedophile」
At this point, my water spear disappeared.
「Also.... me? What gives you the idea of me fighting by myself? 」 his eyes narrowed.
I activated 『Imagine Breaker』 in my right arm.
Every skill I have was darkened out when I used it.
I hit the ground (the roof they're standing on now) as I shouts.
『Imagine... BREAKER!!! 』
A Loud sound of glass breaking into shards echoed the area.
Trees, water, and muds created from their Ninjutsu battles disappeared along with the field barrier to dust.
I can also see hiruzen who's looking at his back, watching the shinigami disappear.
The sound four's barrier also broke.
The anbu's watch in fascination as the giant forest surrounded by barriers is now disappearing to dust.
「Th-that is! The demon genius! 」 An Anbu exclaimed.
I'm not amused, if I may say...
When they saw the three of us, they take action quickly as they surrounded Orochimaru.
DING*
≪Due to reevaluation of skills from the market 『Imagine Breaker』 Is now Annihilated≫
HAH!? AGAIN?? SERIOUSLY???
YOU NERF'ED ME! AGAIN!!!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS!?
YOU PROBABLY DOESN'T WANT TO LET ME BE OP!!
Wait... This time there are actual notifs... what happened to my other skills then!?
「Karma-kun this is...」
「The skill to negate or cancel any kind of attack except physical attacks. Well, I can only do it once. But I guess this is worth it」
The sound four clashed with anbus as Orochimaru got surrounded too.
「Kuku... kukkuhakha...KUAHKAHAHA」
Orochimaru executed the three-stage laugh once again.
「What's so funny? You are surrounded!」 an Anbu said.
「you think you could beat me just because you grow on numbers!?!」 Orochimaru bit his hand vigorously and slam it to the roof.
「COME! MANDA! 」
「run for it!!!!」 I shouted.
BAAAAMMM*
Orochimaru is now standing on top of manda.
Fortunately, all anbus scatter quickly.
「what's this-ssss Orochimaru?? I told you I didn't agree to help your plan-ssss」 The giant serpent hissed.
「you won't fight, reverse summon me and get me out of here! 」 (Orochimaru)
Manda hissed in annoyance.
「Ohya? Going out so soon? 」
I said from the roof while Hokage sama is beside me.
I activated my cursed seal as a red tattoo spreads on my whole body.
Orochimaru orders the sound four to retreat but turned his head to me.
「your body should be hurting right now... what did you do?!」
Orochimaru asked as his face morph to anger.
「Hmph! Do you think I would succumb to this power? You did a good job injecting your soul imprint inside it, but there's one thing you didn't know...」
I said before pausing. I can see Hokage and some Anbu turns their heads towards me.
「Demons are spiritual beings, and empowering the soul is my specialty! 」
DING*
≪Cursed seal stage 2, has been activated≫
≪you have entered 『sage mode』≫
The markings on the body disappeared as my eyes' sclera turns black as the pupil glowed blue.
Wings spread out of my back.
I flew to the air and match eye contact with Orochimaru.
Behind me, two red rings and 1 white gold ring appeared radiating majestic and terrifying aura.
「Demon Sannin, enter」
Yes. I just made that up.
I thought it would sound cool, which failed miserably.
I'm f#ckin cringe.
「Demon sage? What is happening here, Orochimaru?!?」 Manda shouted.
I can see the anbu and sandaime watch in fascination.
I heard their minds are quite going crazy on my transformation by using seishingan.
Some of them recognize me as the "Demon Genius" but, maa~ it's kinda annoying hearing multiple thoughts while fighting so.
Let's just turn that off.
I feel my power surging from my veins.
I glide towards Orochimaru but I was too fast, it left an afterimage.
Firstly, let's just PUNCH THE GODDAMN SNAKE.
「SSSSHAAAAAHK」
Manda hissed-screamed as he flew out of the building as Orochimaru jumped leaving manda.
Orochimaru is now in the air.
Of course, I attacked again.
This time is a dropkick.
「KUAHK!」 His right arm was blown off.
I punched his face as he flew to some wall I flew again and pinned him to the wall causing bigger craters around the area.
「You like immortality so much, then I'll drain you! 」
『Drain live』 lv 60
My right hand glows in green on his shoulder as it sucked live force from Orochimaru.
「KRAAAAAAAAAAHKHK」
Orochimaru's scream echoed throughout the village.
But this is weird...
live drain didn't work like Jihan's live drain anymore.
It's like I'm using the Shiki fujin itself.
I can see a blue chakra-like thing got absorbed to me while my hands glowed green.
Glowing energy shaped like an arm appeared on his non-existent arm, replacing it.
Slowly that glowing translucent arm got absorbed by my green arm.
Another one got absorbed on his left arm.
Maa~ I'll deal with it later.
Let's just go and kill this bastard.
I can almost see Orochimaru's soul fully absorbed in me but then.
DING*
≪Due to reevaluation of skill 『Imagine Breaker』 has now been re-acquired≫
≪Compensation will be given≫
<Primogems> x20 Get
<Ryo> x2000 Get
『Imagine Breaker』 (passive)
Orochimaru's soul got absorbed by me, but suddenly his soul got cut off, returning his other soul except for the hands to his body.
「w-what!?」 I gasp.
Suddenly, I felt an intense pain throughout my body.
「RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH」 My scream of pain echoed throughout the village.
Sandaime and anbus arrived at my place.
They saw me who's clutching my head on the ground.
I looked up to see Orochimaru grunting as his hands deteriorate, morphing to a hue of purple color.
「Karma-kun! 」 sandaime shouted as they ran towards us.
Orochimaru who saw this chance, jumped away trying to get away from the village.
「don't let him get away! 」 sandaime shouted as the anbus behind them comply.
At this point, the jounin and the T&I have arrived.
Kakashi ran to me who's in the hand of sandaime.
「KARMA! 」
「SANDAIME-SAMA! WHAT HAPPENED!?」 He shouted. As the other jounin sensei surrounded me.
「He stopped me from taking Orochimaru with my live」 Hiruzen said.
DING*
≪Due to the skill 『Imagine Breaker』 was acquired material body of condensed mana is now deteriorating≫
ARE YOU F#CKING KIDDING ME??!??
JUST HOW MUCH WILL YOU TRY TO NERF ME???!?
LEAVE ME BE, GODDAMIT!!!
I cursed internally as the pain suddenly goes down to my right arm.
I panted.
「karma! Are you alright?!」 Kakashi asked.
「Oh... Shit.」
Suddenly right arm starts to crumble.
「Karma! Oi! What happened!?」 Kakashi shouted.
「Oh it's nothing, I'm just probably going to die」 I said calmly as I watch my HP going down.
「how can you say that-」 sandaime wanted to ask when I cut in.
「That's not important!! I tried taking Orochimaru's' soul but something got interrupted, so I had only taken his arms... He won't be able to do any jutsu for his... whole life. Make sure you get... him... KHAAHK! 」
My voice becomes heavy in the process, this thing is too painful!
Everyone narrowed their eyes as I said it like the easiest thing in the world.
「KARMA! OI! HOLD IT!! YOU-」
I felt my kage bunshins start to disperse and I received memories from them.
Crack*
My body starts to deteriorate.
Cracks start to form on my whole body.
My whole right arm has now turned to dust.
WHAT IS THIS???
DID SOMEONE THANOS SNAP ME!??
「Well... never thought... our time is quite short...」 I mumbled with a heavy voice.
It still hurts.
「CUT YOUR BULLSHIT!!」
Kakashi suddenly exclaimed, surprising the crap out of everyone present.
Eh??
What?
What is this???
What are you screaming at??
I'm dying y'know???
「I'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH YOUR BULLSHIT KARMA! YOU'RE MY STUDENT, MY SUBORDINATE, AND I AM YOUR SENSEI! ALL THIS TIME, YOU ACTED ON YOUR OWN! EVERY TIME, YOU KNEW SOMETHING, YOU WON'T TELL ME! OR EVEN YOUR TEAMMATES!!」
He paused a bit before saying.
「Did you not trust us???」
I paused a little after watching his sudden outburst.
I see a glint of worry there.
No no no, even though I said "hey I'm a demon" ... did you even believe me? Nope.
That's not what "normal people" think... Right??
And you didn't really ask...
I thought after showing my sage mode they would be wary but... well...
By this time, a medic-nin came forth and started to heal my body, which she panicked from my rapid deterioration.
「Ahahaha... I see... I see... 」My bangs shadowed my eyes.
No, I don't understand what he's talking about, I am just too tired to think about that...
I just blurt that out to stop his shouting.
F#ck you Kakashi, I'm dying...
「Demons can't... die... If they did, then they'll... Kuh... appears again in the place with highly concentrated energy.... 」
I explained.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes.
「But I won't know where I end up at though... I won't be inside Shinigami's stomach after all so...」
「Sorry...I messed up...」 I said as now some of my faces has turned more cracks.
「Karma.... 」Kakashi whispered, somewhat sadly... while the others just watch with their mouths open.
Well, I have perfect memory EX.
It should help me revive later...
I wouldn't know when though...
I saw Hiruzen was saying some things... but I can't comprehend that my hearing senses start to turn off.
Well, I should've died a long time ago... but still, it's kinda frustrating. I closed my eyes as I prepare to die.
