Naruto: Journey Of The Strongest Teacher - Chapter 65
General POV
Ishizu carefully took some samples from Ao while Mei and Zabuza surrounded him. A bit of sweat come down his forehead. He had to act carefully because if he made a mistake and somehow injured the only Byakugan user then the whole rebellion would be on his neck and he didn’t want that to happen.
Ishizu managed to take some samples and told Mei that he will reverse summon himself and come back with Kimimaro after everything would be done. Thankfully, she trusted Zabuza enough to let him go without anyone coming with them or else the Pandas would be mad.
*DD*
“If you die, do I inherit something?” asked Tayuya with stars in her eyes.
“Tayuya-san, this is not how you should talk. Please be quiet. Our master will perform a dangerous jutsu and hoping for his death isn’t nice,” Fuka scolded Tayuya by hitting her with a fan over the head.
That’s right. The female woman that Ishizu picked up when he extracted part of the Nine-Tails from Sora finally, after some discussion with Po, was allowed to enter the Dumpling Dynasty. Unlike Tayuya, who had a brash mouth, Fuka was like the loyal housewife one could wish for.
“Thank you, Fuka. I will perform a dangerous jutsu that can cost my life, so please leave.”
“Let’s hope nothing bad happens,” mumbled Tayuya before felling a pawn on her shoulder.
“Don’t stress him, Tayuya-chan. Our Sage wants to bring somebody back from the dead. This jutsu is not like the Edo Tensei where you only put back the soul into a dead vessel, but he will restart a body that was dead for some time,” explained Tau.
“Yes, and for that I need to prepare myself. Now, all of you, please leave.”
Ishizu POV
I gulped down the clot in my throat because I was very nervous to perform this jutsu. One single mistake could cost my life, and if I messed up, then everything I did up to this point would be for naught. The knowledge I had about this usage was from a fanfiction, so, yeah, I wasn’t even sure if it would work. Unfortunately, I had no other choice.
‘Let’s hope Yami did it right and my Plot Armor is enough.’
I used 50% of my chakra to summon a single wood clone.
“I hope it is right with you. I don’t want to die.”
“Hey, what about me? I die if it happens.”
I looked at him in confusion before rolling
my eyes.
“You are me. You won’t die unless I die, so let’s do it.”
I took out a scroll and opened it to reveal the stiff body of Kimimaro. I didn’t need to do it Madara style with the Edo Tensei as I had his whole body, so I signaled my clone to activate his Rinnegan.
“Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.”
I saw how the King of Hell appeared from the earth. Out came a transparent arm and pierced the clone before an enormous chunk of chakra was s.u.c.k.e.d out. The moment the chakra ball left the clone, it turned to wood and withered away. The mouth closed and the King chewed the chakra before he opened his mouth and a soul appeared inside.
The moment the KoH took my chakra out of the clone, I fell on my knees and took in deep breaths of air. While the clone was still functioning, I could feel the charka in him, but ripping 50% out instantaneously wasn’t something I could handle well. I signaled the King to wait before giving Kimimaro life as I had to take a break.
After 5 minutes, I was ready enough and took the soul out and placed it inside Kimimaro’s body. Immediately I saw the results. His heart started beating again and his skin changed to a more lively color as blood flowed through his body.
General POV
Mei and Ao saw Ishizu coming back. As Sensors, they could feel that his chakra was still low from last time they saw him.
“What have you done to deplete your chakra like that?” asked Ao.
Ishizu waves his hand.
“Every Jutsu has its price. Nothing comes for free,” said Ishizu cryptically.
Ishizu took out a scroll and Kimimaro appeared before opening his eyes.
“Where am I? I should have been dead.”
Ishizu looked at him, bringing his attention to him.
“You are in the land of the living, Kimimaro Kaguya.”
“Who are you?”
“I am the one who gave you another chance.”
Kimimaro tried to stand up, but he fell to the ground as his muscles still needed to adapt.
“I need to go back to Orochimaru-sama.”
Ishizu had a slight smile before whispering into his ear: “You died, Kimimaro. This means you are worthless to Orochimaru. He has the Uchiha, and that’s all he needs.”
Kimimaro stiffed in responds. He could not believe that his master left him. His life was worthless. Ishizu put his hand on Kimimaro’s shoulder.
“Orochimaru left you but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be of use.”
Mei came to Kimimaro and sat beside him. They talked about something and Kimimaro agreed to be of use to Mei. Getting some Byakugan cells was just a snack for Ishizu because after reviving Kimimaro and giving him to Mei, they agreed to launch an ultimate attack at the Yondaime Mizukage.
Ishizu smiled at the others. He knew that Kimimaro wouldn’t talk about his death because Ishizu himself made it so the boy would forget it soon and think it was a dream. Ishizu didn’t want people to know that he could control life and death. It was a miracle that it worked and doing it every day would be impossible; for now.
The battleground of Kirigakure
Ishizu scanned the place where the last fight would be held. It was the base of the current Mizukage. Normally, Mei wouldn’t attack it fearing to lose, but this war had to end now or never.
“I need to get him out of his hiding. That means we have to kill some Kiri Shinobis,” Ishizu spoke to Zabuza and Mei.
Mei shouted at her subordinates to attack. The fight started, but Yagura didn’t come. Seeing how this fight was useless and people were dying just for nothing, Ishizu sighed as he prepare himself.
“If this won’t let him come out, then maybe I will.”
Ishizu made a snake seal.
“Wood Style: Deep Forest Emerges.”
The large wood forest moved incredibly fast but only pierced the enemy as if it knew who was on its side.
“He is a Kekkei Genkai user. Kill him and avenge our brethren,” shouted a Kiri Shinobi, but he soon was killed like the others. Before the forest could crash into the main building, a coral reef appeared and blocked it.
“There you are. I hope Obito is not looking through his eyes, but I can’t be too certain,” said Ishizu as he placed his mask on his face and moved to Yagura.
The current Mizukage Yagura narrowed his eyes at the figure that had the audacity to attack him. He didn’t expect the rebellion to have someone like him, but it didn’t matter. He would die like the rest of them.
“You wish to forfeit your life away that fast? If that is what you want then I will gladly make your wish come true,” said Yagura as pointed his staff at Ishizu before charging at him. His arm blocked the staff that was aiming at Ishizu’s head before Yagura felt a foot implanted in his abdomen.
“So you are the Yondaime Mizukage? Children shouldn’t be on the battlefield. I hope you won’t disappoint me,” said Ishizu with a smile behind his mask. Yagura stood up and swiped the blood from his mouth.
“I will make you pay for that a hundred times.”
Yagura swirled his staff above his head before slamming it into the ground.
“Water Style: Coral Area”
Ishizu watched as the surrounding ground turned to coral spikes and shot towards him. In response, Ishizu used his wood style to surround himself in a wood house. Inside, he took out a container with 3 marbles on it.
‘A good time to take some chakra from him.’
Yagura attacked Ishizu by breaking into the wood safe house with his staff, making Ishizu smirk seeing the boy.
“And Basho Ten’in.”
Yagura’s eyes widened as he felt his body moving on his own. He tried to move away, but Ishizu held Yagura by his throat and started absorbing his chakra.
“Urgh.”
Ishizu had to let Yagura go as he felt pain near his legs. That son of a ***** hit him in his precious balls.
It hurt. A lot. He would pay for this.
Then Ishizu was sent flying as Yagura hit him in the face with his staff. He flew a couple meters before crashing into a rock that left an imprint of him.
“Hmm, you aren’t bad. For a child. But trying to make me impotent…,” spoke Ishizu as he spat out a bit of blood with a hand on his balls.
“I will kill you.”
Yagura narrowed his eyes before immediately going into his 2nd Bijuu mode. Ishizu still in the rock sighed as he saw the red beast charging at him.
‘And here I wanted to have a nice fight.’
Yagura raised his right claw in an attempt to decapitate Ishizu before being blown away by a Shinra Tensei. Ishizu cracked his head before coming out.
“You will be an excellent practice for my technique.”
With a roar, Ishizu ran at Yagura and both started fighting. The fight went on for about 10 minutes when Yagura finally decided to go all out and transformed into Isobu.
‘Thank god we are on land right now. Big turtle is big, but without water it can’t escape and is just a huge target.’
Then Isobu fired a large water bomb at Ishizu. It hit Ishizu with its full force and send him flying into the same rock with his imprint on before destroying the rock completely.
Getting up, Ishizu smiled as he cracked his shoulders.
‘I think I have to end this. Let’s use another path.’
Yagura/Isobu transformed into a round ball and rolled towards Ishizu to burry him. Closing his eyes, Ishizu concentrated as his right hand transformed.
“Let’s see if you can survive this, Yagura. I know you were controlled, but you have to die as extracting Isobu’s chakra out of you while fighting is impossible. I can revive you if Mei wants it later on either way,” said Ishizu as his arm transformed into a massive laser cannon and fired a laser beam.
The massive beam of light came out of Ishizu’s arm and pierced the hard skin of Isobu. Isobu stopped and transformed back to Yagura, who laid motionless on the water as blood came out of his stomach. The rebellion cheered as they saw the body of Yagura while the other side retreated at the defeat of their leader. Ishizu took the body back to the main camp to end the deal.
Mei’s rebellion camp.
“You did it. You alone defeated Yagura. I thank you on behalf of the rebellion,” said Mei as she bowed to show her gratitude.
Ishizu smiled.
“I held up on my deal. I am sorry I couldn’t bring him back alive.”
Mei shook her head.
“It doesn’t matter. With Yagura dead, the rest of his shinobi will give up and peace will finally return. I will send out an envoy when the land is stable to form an alliance with Konoha.”
With that, Ishizu left the battlefield. He had a nice fight with his new abilities. Taking out the container, Ishizu sighed. He couldn’t get a single marble full. He had to wait until Isobu reformed and make a seal that could extract charka better while fighting.
