Chapter 9 - Iwa and Waterfall shinobi retreated (rewrite)

With Kakashi's unit

"I have to win this challenge no matter what to find out what Kakashi is hiding under his mask!" Gai shouted loudly to everyone to hear, Kakashi and Yuma couldn't help but sweatdrop at his reasoning.

Gai crosses his arms, closes his eyes, and starts concentrating, his brow furrowing as an invisible energy seems to ripple around him.

"FIRST GATE, GATE OF OPENING OPEN."

"SECOND GATE, GATE OF HEALING OPEN."

"THIRD GATE, GATE OF LIFE OPEN."

"FOURTH GATE, GATE OF PAIN OPEN."

"FIFTH GATE, GATE OF LIMIT OPEN."

"SIXTH GATE, GATE OF VIEW OPEN."

Gai's skin burned a deep red, and a shimmering green aura burst forth from him. Launching into the air around him, he unleashed a flurry of punches so fast and forceful the air itself seemed to shatter with each blow.

"MORNING PEACOCK."

Gai's punches move so fast that the friction with the air ignites his fists, sending blazing blasts hurtling toward the enemy shinobi with nothing but raw, fiery power.

"AAAAHHHHH."

"BOOM."

The enemy shinobi were sent hurtling toward the trap, scorched by the searing flames of Gai's relentless blasts.

Kakashi's brow glistened with sweat as he watched the sheer number of shinobi Gai sent hurtling toward the trap. 'No way am I letting Gai or Yuma see what's behind my mask,' he thought, a flicker of unease creeping through him. 'I need to take this seriously—or I will end up showing them what behind my mask.'

Kakashi quickly formed a series of hand seals. As he finished, blue lightning erupted from his palm, crackling with energy, and he let out a sharp yell.

"BZBZBZBZBZBZ."

"LIGHTNING STYLE: LIGHTNING BEAST TRACKING FANG."

"BOOM."

"AAAAAHHHHHH."

Kakashi formed a beast of crackling blue lightning, which shot toward the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi with incredible speed. Upon impact, it detonated, sending the enemy flying straight toward the trap..

Yuma sheathed her katana, then grabbed her bo staff from her back. She threw back her head and laughed loudly, "HAHAHAHA! This is going to be so much fun."

Yuma assumed her stance, eyes blazing with anticipation, and let out a low murmur.

"TYRANT BO STAFF STYLE: BROKEN STAFF DANCE."

Using her chakra molding method to enhance her speed, Yuma blurred toward the enemy shinobi incredible speed, her bo staff spinning elegantly and rapidly in her hand.

"SWISH."

"BAAM, BAAM, BAAM, BAAM, BAAM."

"CRACK, CRACK, CRACK, CRACK, CRACK."

"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."

All the Konoha shinobi watching were stunned as they saw Yuma hurling countless enemy shinobi toward the trap location effortlessly.

Every thrust and swing of Yuma's bo staff was precise, elegant, and devastating. She danced around the enemy shinobi, her movements fluid and mesmerizing, as if she were a fairy twirling with her weapon.

All Konoha Shinobi looked in admiration at Yuma, then one of them yelled, "Come on, what are you guys waiting for? Let's show these Iwa and waterfall bastards what we are made of."

"YEAH."

All Konoha shinobi shouted in unison as they launched a relentless barrage of kunais, shurikens, and powerful ninjutsu toward the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi.

With Choza's group

Choza turned to his clansmen and said, his voice firm, 'Follow my lead, everyone.'

The Akamichi clan members nodded to Choza, who swiftly formed a hand seal and shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

"SUPER EXPANSION JUTSU."

All the Akamichi clan members followed Choza's lead, forming the same hand seal he had made and shouting in unison.

"SUPER EXPANSION JUTSU."

Choza and the rest of his clan grew to the size of a house, yet Choza towered over them, twice their size.

Choza's clansmen were stunned to see him grow that big using the Super Expansion Jutsu, while Choza himself was shocked by tis development.

'What's happening? My chakra reserve has doubled, and my control over Yang nature transformation has skyrocketed.' Choza thought seriously.

'It doesn't matter. I need to deal with the Iwa and Waterfall Shinobi right now.' Choza's eyes hardened as he took a deep breath to steady himself. Gripping his bo staff, he charged at the enemy. His clansmen followed his lead, rushing forward alongside him toward the Iwa and Waterfall Shinobi..

Iwa and Waterfall shinobi trembled in fear as they watched Choza and his clansmen, towering like giants, closing in on them.

The ground trembled with every step Choza and his clansmen took, sending many Iwa and Waterfall shinobi staggering off balance.

The Iwa and Waterfall shinobi began retreating, launching torrents of Water-Style and Earth-Style ninjutsu at Choza and his clansmen as they fell back.

"WATER STYLE WATER BULLET JUTSU."

"EARTH STYLE ROCK BULLET JUTSU."

"BAAM, BAAM, BAAM, BAAM."

The ninjutsu they hurled proved completely ineffective; they didn't even scratch Choza and his clansmen, thanks to their enormous forms.

As Choza and his clansmen closed in on the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi, those wielding bo staffs swung them with devastating force, sending several Iwa and Waterfall shinobi flying, while the rest of the Akamichi clan launched a relentless barrage of punches and kicks.

"BAAM, BAAM, BAAM, BAAM."

It didn't take long before they sent the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi hurtling toward the trap.

With Tsume

The Aburame clan members sent their insects swarming toward the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi to distract them, while the Inuzuka clan members crouched beside their ninja dog companions, forming a hand seal in unison.

"BEAST MIMCURY FOUR-LEGGED JUTSU."

The Inuzuka clan members' fangs lengthened and their nails sharpened into deadly claws

"PUFF."

Suddenly, the Inzuka clan's ninja dogs were enveloped by a white smoke, transforming into perfect replicas of their partners.

"Everyone, let's go!" Tsume shouted to her clansmen, a vicious smirk twisting her lips as she glared at the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi.

All the Inzuka clansmen grinned viciously as they heard Tsume give the order.

"FANG OVER FANG."

The Inzuka clansmen, along with their dog partners, spun violently at lightning speed before lunging at the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi like a raging typhoon.

The Waterfall and Iwa shinobi were left defenseless against the Inzuka clansmen, their attention consumed by the swarming Aburame clan insects.

"BAAM."

In the next instant, they were struck hard and sent flying toward the trap, though some of the Iwa shinobi managed to dodge the Inzuka clansmen's attack.

"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."

"PU, PU, PU, PU, PU."

The Aburame clansmen hurled shurikens at the Iwa Shinobi, who deftly evaded the Inzuka clansmen's jutsu..

Some of the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi were killed when struck by the shurikens, while others were injured; yet a few transformed into mud or water upon being struck.

The Inuzuka and Aburame clans continued their assault against the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi. After an intense battle, they successfully pushed their foes toward the trap location.

With Aoba

When Aoba saw all the Iwa and Waterfall Shinobi entering the trap area, he raised his right arm.

The Konoha shinobi standing near the trap saw the signal, quickly cut the ninja wires with their kunais, and activated the traps.

"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."

"PU, PU, PU, PU, PU."

"CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK."

 

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM."

A barrage of shurikens and kunais rained down on the Iwa and Waterfall shinobi, some of them rigged with explosive tags.

After being struck by the kunais and shurikens, the Iwa and Waterfall Shinobi were killed when the weapons exploded.

A shower of small purple spheres dropped into the space between the Iwa and Waterfall Shinobi.

"BOOM."

The purple spheres detonated, billowing thick purple smoke into the air.

One of the Iwa Shinobi's eyes widened in alarm as he shouted to his comrades, "Everyone, retreat—and hold your breath! The purple smoke is poisonous!"

All Iwa and Waterfall Shinobi swiftly retreated at the warning, fleeing beyond the Land of Fire borders.

The Konoha Shinobi didn't pursue Iwa and Waterfall Shinobi; once their foes had fully retreated, they erupted into loud cheers.

Yuma smirked as she watched her comrades cheering. Then she turned to Kakashi and Gai and asked, "So, how many did you two take down? I got 80.'"

Gai laughed loudly and said to Yuma, "'Ha ha ha, Yuma-chan, you lost this time! I took down 99 of those unyouthful shinobi.'"

Kakashi chuckled and said to Yuma and Gai, "Too bad, Gai—I beat you again. I took down 100 of those idiots. From now on, you two will have to listen to me.'"

Gai's jaw dropped when he heard this. Turning to Kakashi, he exclaimed, 'This is so unyouthful!'"

Yuma giggled at this and began walking away, waving to Kakashi and Gai. "You two idiots can fool around all you want. I'm going to get some sleep; my turn to be on watch will be coming up soon."

Kakashi and Gai nodded and followed Yuma.

The rest of the Konoha Shinobi, watching Yuma, Kakashi, and Gai argue, sweatdrop, and one of them muttered, 'Those three are really a handful.'"

When the others heard their comrade, they nodded in agreement and began heading back to the camp.
