The Legend of the Kyubi

"I'm sorry, Hiruzen... I'm sure Tobi must be feeling the same way too" - said Hashirama as a large number of trees started to come out of the ground.     

"Don't worry, Hashirama sensei," said Hiruzen as he made hand seals and invoked his trusty Bo.     

"Hiruzen... I never thought you'd summon me to fight Hashirama..." - spoke the Bo.     

"Enma... I don't think it's time to talk about this" - said Hiruzen seriously.     

"I know," said the Bo as old Sandaime stood guard.     

"It's time to start, Hiruzen... Show me how much you've improved" - said Hashirama while making a lot of hand seals - "Mokuton: Mokuryu no Jutsu!"     

"Doton: Doryudan!" - said Hiruzen as a mud dragon appeared from the ground, but he didn't stop there because he continued to make hand seals at great speed - "It's not over yet! Katon: Karyudan!"     

The Fire Dragon and the Mud Dragon quickly began to mix, and in the process, growing exponentially. Hashirama had to admit he was surprised because there weren't many shinobis who could mix two Jutsus so perfectly.     

The two large dragons, they hit each other as they tried to 'devour' the other.     

"Not bad, Hiruzen," Hashirama nodded as he jumped aside because he felt danger behind him.     

"Tch" - Hiruzen only clicked his tongue when he noticed that his ambush had failed. He had used his Kawarimi no Jutsu to switch places with a log behind the Shodaime so that he could land a killing blow, but it was obvious that this plan was too simple for a shinobi like Hashirama - "Never mind Katon: Karyu Endan!"     

Hiruzen quickly focused much of his chakra to create a dragon-shaped fireball, but unlike his previous Jutsu, this one was just a projectile.     

"You have to do better than that, Hiruzen" - said Hashirama as he prepared to dodge the attack, only to feel something start to squeeze him - "Huh?"     

"I'm sorry, Hashirama-sama" - said Kushina as she appeared from the shadows - "But I can't let you continue to wreak havoc"     

"Kongo Fusa..." - said the Shodaime as he looked at the beautiful redhead and smiled at her - "You know, you remind me too much of Mito-chan... I guess she taught you well..."     

"Thank you" - smiled Kushina as she wrapped her chains even tighter around the First Hokage. only to see Hiruzen's Fire Jutsu hit him full on.     

Slowly the fire began to die down, showing Hashirama's silhouette that was slightly destroyed - "That would have killed me if I wasn't already dead... it would have hurt like hell too..."     

"Good job, Kushina-chan" - said Hiruzen as he s, only to open his eyes in surprise when he felt something pierce his heart.     

"You shouldn't lose focus amid battle... sensei..." - Orochimaru said with a smile, only to have it disappear as he watched his object disappear into a smokescreen - "Kage Bunshin?! When?!"     

"It was always a Kage Bunshin, Orochimaru!" - exclaimed Jiraiya as he appeared above the Renegade Sannin - "Rasengan!"     

"Argh!" - complained the Snake Summoner when he felt his old teammate's technique hitting him full on the shoulder - "You bastard! You fucking pervert!"     

"I'm not a pervert! I'm a Super Pervert!" - exclaimed Jiraiya proudly - "Besides... you can't insult me for being a pervert when you're a fucking sicko!"     

Orochimaru only clenched his teeth furiously as he sank to the ground and appeared a few feet away, only to open his mouth and expel a new Orochimaru from it.     

"Okay, that's disgusting," said Kushina as he grimaced. "You're sicker than ever, Orochimaru"     

"Silence!" - exclaimed the Sannin in fury. That was the only way he could recover from the damage he had received from his neglect.     

"Good job stopping Hashirama-sama, Kushina," said Jiraiya as he appeared in front of the redhead. "I just hope Kurama doesn't find out about this or I swear to Kami that he will destroy my balls for not preventing you from joining the party"     

"Relax, Jiraiya" - said Kushina with a smile - "If that happens, I promise I'll record it so that I can enjoy it on rainy days... I might even give you a copy"     

"You shouldn't say things like that, you sadistic woman!" - exclaimed Jiraiya angrily.     

". . ." - Orochimaru was only silent as he sank to the ground again.     

"No! You won't!" - exclaimed Jiraiya as he used a Shunshin to appear in front of the Renegade Sannin - "RASENGAN!"     

"ARGH!" - exclaimed Orochimaru, who could do nothing to defend himself because that was the flaw in this method of escape - "DAMN BASTARD!"     

"Tch!" - He managed to complete his Jutsu.     

"WHEN I HAVE FINISHED SENSEI, YOU WILL BE THE NEXT, JIRAIYA!" - roared Orochimaru as his voice disappeared.     

"I think we'd better help the old man," said Kushina seriously.     

"Shall we?" asked the white-haired Sannin as he looked at the red-haired woman. "You know very well that this is as far as your help goes, now it's our turn..."     

"Do you think it's a good idea to argue when that bastard can show up to attack the old man at any time?!" - exclaimed Kushina as she looked at the Toad summoner.     

"Okay, You're right about that" - replied the Jiraiya as he ran in the direction where the old man was fighting.     

"I know I have no right to ask for anything... but I'd like to know if you can scratch my nose..." - said Hashirama as he looked at the woman - "My right arm has completely disappeared because of Hiruzen's Jutsu and my left arm is trapped by your chains..."     

Kushina just rolled her eyes as she created a Kage Bunshin and scratched the old Hokage's nose.     

"Thank you..." - Hashirama smiled as he was dragged by Kushina to where the Sandaime was fighting the Nidaime.     

* * * * *     

"I guess the plan worked..." - said Hiruzen when he received the memories of his Clone.     

Tobirama glanced in the direction of his brother but quickly focused on Hiruzen again. It was obvious that he had felt his brother had been defeated but that didn't change 'his' plans too much.     

With a quick hand movement, Tobirama made a large number of hand seals as he focused his chakra inside, only to release a large shot of pressurized water.     

Hiruzen quickly switched with a log and reappeared a few meters away, only to notice the damage his Sensei's attack had caused - "That Jutsu is still just as annoying..."     

He had to admit that Tobirama's signature Jutsu, Suidanha, was highly lethal, especially to people who did not know about the technique.     

"It's the end, Sensei!" - exclaimed Orochimaru as he appeared behind Hiruzen with a wild smile - "There's no one who can stop me now!"     

"That's where you're wrong," said Kurama as he stepped aside and grabbed the arm of the traitorous Sannin with his chains.     

"Kongo Fusa?! How can you also use the Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki clan?!" - exclaimed Orochimaru in surprise and fury. He couldn't believe how things had deviated from his perfect plan.     

"Because I'm an Uzumaki?" - the redheaded man answered calmly - "My name is Kurama Uzumaki for a reason... Don't you think?"     

"You know very well that's not what I mean!" - roared Orochimaru as he 'spat' his sword at the young Uzumaki.     

"How disgusting..." - Kurama muttered as he dodged the attack with ease, only to throw Orochimaru into Tobirama.     

"Thank you... Kurama-dono," Hiruzen said as he breathed a sigh of relief. He had relaxed a bit when he noticed that the plan was going as planned.     

"You don't have to give them... just make sure you don't repeat this," Kurama said calmly as he watched Orochimaru land beside Tobirama.     

"Why... WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP GETTING IN MY WAY?!" - roared the traitorous Sannin - "WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE?!"     

"I see that someone is still a tantrum-headed child," said Kurama with disdain when he noticed Orochimaru's reaction.     

"SILENCE!" - exclaimed the Sannin as he ordered Tobirama to attack, only to notice how he too was caught in chains, only this time they were blood red.     

"I don't think that's a good idea," Kurama said calmly as he removed the kunai that controlled the Nidaime Hokage with a quick hand movement.     

"Ugh... remember to hit me when this is all over..." - Tobirama muttered in annoyance - "I'm fully conscious now... Could you release me?"     

"I'm sorry... we don't know if Orochimaru has any other tricks up his sleeve," said Kurama neutrally.     

"Don't worry... I understand..." - Tobirama nodded. He would do the same if he were in a similar situation.     

Orochimaru could only watch in fury as everything unfolded, as his wonderful plans fell apart.     

"I see that you are finished," Jiraiya said as he noticed that not only was Kurama on the scene, but he had captured Tobirama as well.     

"Hi, Tobi!" - Hashirama exclaimed with a smile.     

". . ." - Tobirama only sighed with regret at noticing his brother's carefree attitude.     

"We will talk about this later, Kushi-chan," Kurama said seriously as he watched the red-haired woman shrink her neck from the look he was giving her.     

"Hai..." - Kushina muttered as she nodded weakly. She knew that Kurama was within his rights to be upset, after all, she was fighting when she was pregnant against enemies that were not mere Genin, but some of the strongest shinobis the world had ever known.
