"Minato! Long range physical attacks only!" Letting go of his sword, the blade levitated in mid air for a seconds before shooting forward towards the invader.
Like batting a mosquito out of the air, the invader smashed the sword out of the sky with one of his tails before charging at Chiba.
The man moved so fast that Chiba thought that he had teleported, he couldnt see his movement with regular Observation Haki and had to rely on Future sight just to respond!
Chiba foresaw his head falling off of his shoulders from a single attack, this didn't faze him as he began to step backwards when he suddenly froze mid stop as terror flooded his veins.
His future sight suddenly changed and now showed him once again being decapitated, this time in less than a second!
Activating all of his abilities, Chiba desperately tried to dodge the attack but was too late! An intense pain suddenly erupted from his left side as Chiba saw his arm being sent flying and the invader was suddenly behind him!
The intense pain was nearly unbearable and Chiba's mind froze as he couldn't comprehend the situation, that was when the man struck once again!
The invaders blade furiously slammed at the defenseless Chiba and expected to kill him, only for a blond haired man to suddenly appear before him and blocking the greatsword with a kunai!
Feeling a sudden kick from Minato, Chiba awoke as he was sent flying away from the battle!
Chiba immediately began focusing on his life return, beginning to pump his body full of adrenaline and contracted the muscle around his miss arm to stop the bleeding.
'Why did my future sight change!? The moment I acted to change my future, it changed once again! It's almost like.....Can he see the future aswell!?' Chiba realized that the only way his future sight could've changed, is if someone else also changed their future!
Looking over at the fight, Chiba saw Minato was barely able to keep up with the man who was moving at insanely fast speeds that forced Minato to constantly teleport. Every move that Minato made, the invader seemed to already know it was going to happen and perfectly counter it, forcing Minato to teleport away!
'Minato doesn't have half of the tailed beast or is in the edo tensei state like he appeared in the anime, he's eventually going to run out of chakra with how much he's teleporting around!'
Despite having only been fighting each other for less than a minute, Minato was already missing a quarter of his Chakra from his constant use of flying thunder God jutsu.
Bringing his fingers to his mouth and taking a deep breath, a stream of fire was blown out of Minato's breath! These flames roared forward and looked like it was gonna consume the Invader when they suddenly disappeared as the mans blade made contact with it.
Confirming what Chiba said was true, Minato's continued using his kunai as he was trying to come up with anyway to defeat this thing.
In the midst of the fight, the thousands of senbon needles hidden in the sand began to levitate before launching forward to the black eyed invader!
Without a moment of hesitation a third tail suddenly grew from the invaders back and all three tails began to knock the needles out of the air as he continued to battle Minato.
The thousands of senbon needles rained down onto the invader as his sword clashed with Minato's blade, and each needle was being smashed to pieces by the black tail. These needles seemed to unfaze the invader when it's tail instinctively hit a piece of paper and not a needle!
*Boom!*
The explosion tag created a tiny dented the tail before it suddenly regenerated, doing absolutely no damage but did temporarily break up the fight.
"Minato, I'll buy you the time to meditate! Just trust me to defend you!" Chiba flickered Infront of Minato, who could only nod in agreement as he jumped back.
As the invader stepped forward towards Chiba, all of the sand for thousands of feet began to rise upward and rushed forward towards the invader, encasing him entirely as Chiba pulled all of his explosion tags through the sand and exploded them on the Invader!
Despite hundreds of exploding tags going off at once, Chiba had managed compacted the sand so tightly that no noise was heard and no shockwave was felt!
Despite knowing this should've killed a normal ninja, Chiba saw that his system didnt give him a notification on the Invaders death.
Not letting up, rings of purple light appeared above Chiba and reached into the void of space as he used his Devil fruit to its absolute limits!
'He might too powerful to fight, but I can surely contain him long enough for Minato to enter sage mode. In sage mode, Minato will also have a similar precognitive ability! I just need to stall for a few more mi-' Dodging to the side, an invisible slash of barely missed him as all of the sand fell to the ground!
Chiba watched in terror as the falling sand revealed a horrifying discovery!
The man was covered entirely in a black energy that wrapped around him from his neck to his toes, leaving his head free of the black energy but giving him horns! The most shocking thing however, was the pair of pitch black wings that popped out of it's back and made the invader levitate a few inches off of the ground!
This alongside his red and black eye and tail, made the invader look exactly like a demon!
This transformation sent chills down Chiba's spine, he knew that even the Otsutsuki would have a tough time fighting this man and no Ninja could contend with him!
The invaders cold and calculated red eyes peered at Chiba, then the meditating Minato behind him.
Without wasting a second, Chiba pulled the meditating Minato to the side with his devil fruit, a deep gash was torn into the sand where he once sat!
With a look of annoyance, the invaders eyes focused directly at Chiba and lifted his sword only to stop midtrack as an incredibly large shadow blocked out the sun!
As the invader looked up in the sky, he was shocked to find multiple meteors that had sizes varying from as large as a skyscrapers to as small as a car plummeting towards him!
The moment he noticed the meteors, he was suddenly slammed into the ground by an overwhelming gravity, the invader looked up at the fleeing Chiba.
Flying into the sky with Minato meditating next to him, Chiba dodged the meteor shower before coming to a stop and watching as the Demon like invader raised his greatsword above his head and slashed.
Controling the meteors to target the invader all at once without a chance to dodge, Chiba made the mistake of clumping the meteors close to each other!
The simple slash created by the invader cut theough the air and spread out like a tsunami in the sky, cutting every meteor in half!
The invader didn't stop there as his hands turned into a blur for even Chiba's observation haki! Within a second the meteors were no more, only thousands of small pebbles rained down from the sky.
Looking at the slightly annoyaned invader casually destroying his strongest attack, a sense of despair filled the boys entire being and unconsciously started floating backwards.
Nothing he could do would be able to harm the invader, no matter how skilled with a blade or how powerful his devil fruit is, nothing he threw could harm this Invader who's sole purpose is to kill Chiba.
If given time to prepare, Chiba might have had a tiny chance, but he didn't have time. The boy was already running low on stamina and chakra, he was missing an arm but he couldn't give up.
For the safety of his sister, his village, and this war torn world that he now called home, Chiba couldn't let this invader conquer and pillage as he saw fit!
"Gate of Opening, Open!"
"Gate of Healing, Open!"
"Gate of Life, Open!"
"Gate of Pain, Open!"
"Gate of Limit, Open!"
"Gate of View, Open!"
"Gate of Wonder, Open!"
Glowing blue sweat began to pour off of every inch of Chiba's body, which immediately evaporates from his own body heat! Chiba used his Life Return to control his body and open up seven of the eight gates, an indescribable feeling of pain enveloped his entire being.
Like he guess, opening up his inner gates without training was excruciating and possible crippling. lt like someone falaid all of Chiba's skin off and dump him into a tub of lemon juice!
Chiba floated back down with Minato in tow, the moment he touched the floor he took a single step forward and all of the muscle fibres in his right thigh immediately exploded and his femor shattered! Despitd the Injury Chiba found himself before the shocked Invader after predicting exacy where he'd dodge!
Gritting through the unbearable pain, Chiba life his sword up and and increased it's weight beyond Hundreds of tons before heaving the blade towards the invader.
As the purple blade clashed against the black greatsword, the invader had a look of surprise on his face as his double edged greatsword slammed back into him, creating a major gash in his chest and flinging him backwards a great distance away!
*Thunk*
The purple sword fell to the floor as Chiba could no longer move his hand, with jagged white bone sticking out his snapped forearm Chiba doubted if he'd regain 100% function in that arm against, let alone use it in the fight.
Forced to use his devil fruit to remain upright, Chiba saw the Invader slowly levitating uowards as his chest wound was quickly repairing itself.
Just as the Invader got up, Chiba felt a light tapping on his shoulder and saw Minato who's eyes now had yellow iris's, toad-like pupils, and had orange pigmentation around his eye balls.
Looking at the sage mode Minato stepping forward to face the invader, Chiba could only forced a bitter smile.
'Minato can't win, the invader is simply too strong.... Looks like I really am going to die today...'
Coming to terms with his death, Chiba felt a peaceful calm wash over him as his skin and hair suddenly turned a dark red. Blood began to evaporate out of his body creating a red mist and his chakra suddenly raised to levels well beyond even the strongest Kage!
"Eight gate, Gate of Death... OPEN!"
