40 War 5 (1/2)
.....
”A merry greeting from all of you. Pity there are only some old men, and here I think there will be beauties waiting for me. Sigh...” Rafi said as he looked at the group that appeared in front of him. There were Asuma, Kakashi, Obito, Fugaku, Hiashi and Hizashi that blocked his path.
”Pardon us then, the beauties you want to meet are still having a hard battle. Well, you are to blame for that though.” Asuma shrugged his shoulder as he answered.
”...well...” Rafi chuckled slightly, as though expressing his helplessness on the matter.
”I wonder how you can still be alive after using that technique? As I know, Akatsuki Pain ultimately died after he used it before.” Kakashi suddenly asked Rafi.
”...that is my secret, Kakashi. Hm, it looks like you have got another reinforcement. Now, let's end this war sooner don't we. Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence.” Rafi was silent after hearing Kakashi. Then, he quickly made hand seals as he sensed Naruto and the others were approaching fast.
Large roots of trees sprouted from the ground as it snaked around on the battlefield. The group in front of him was quick to react as they fled the scene, avoiding the roots that tried to grind them. Though, many Alliance's shinobi that couldn't reacted in time were crushed by the moving roots. While White Zetsu just passed through the roots as they were similar entities with it. The forest created an optimum battlefield for White Zetsu as the roots and trees from Wood Style could be their cover for sneak attacks and their hiding places. Rafi was watching the war began turning to his favor, as White Zetsu army that previously were slightly suppressed by Alliance's shinobi started their counterattacks.
While he was supervising the war from atop the forest, his Susano'o suddenly was ripped by a space vortex. Another space vortex abruptly appeared from that flaw as a sharp steel pillar rushed from it, about to stab him.
Rafi was calm as he knew it was Obito and Kakashi's doing. But when he was about to let their attack passed through him, to his surprise he felt his Kamui were disturbed by something for a moment. It thus made him unable to shift his body to his Kamui. Those nick of time was enough for the steel pillar to just an inch away from his body. Faced with an imminent danger, his left hand flashed a red light for a moment as he stopped the attack just when it was barely about to stab him.
The red light was a manifestation of Boosted Gear, but without its physical form, the red gauntlet. Because Boosted Gear already integrated with Rafi's original body, he could only use a part of it that integrated with his soul when he used his {Soul Form}. As Boosted Gear's physical form was fused with his original body.
”What a surprise, Obito. I don't think your Mangekyo could also interfere with mine.” Rafi said to Obito who appeared in front of him.
”...we have a similar technique. Who says that mine couldn't interfere with yours, just like your technique before. But, it does seem not enough to actually kill you.”
”Nice move. Though, this is a bit crowded isn't it? You all really think highly of me.” As Rafi looked around, he was surrounded by a group of elite shinobi. Hizashi and Hiashi behind him, Obito and Kakashi in front of him, Asuma and Fugaku on his left, while Tobirama and Minato on his right.
”Like you hope for, this war is going to end soon. We have already sealed Madara, while Edo Tensei will be undone soon. You are the remaining one, kid.” Tobirama said calmly to Rafi.
Although he looked calm outside, but a rushing shock appeared inside his heart as he saw Rafi used Wood Style. And by how it looked from the scale, Rafi's mastery of Wood Style might not be inferior to his brother, Hashirama. Before, Madara already surprised him by using Wood Style, and now even Rafi could also used Wood Style. His perception of Wood Style began to crumble as he questioned whether Wood Style was really difficult to master. Or else, how can it just sprouted here and there like some random shinobi technique.
”Heh, you are too confident, Tobirama. Let's raise the difficulty then. Although I can't use all of its abilities at the moment, but this is enough for now. Tenseigan.” As soon Rafi said it, both of his doppelganger's eyes changed pattern from Byaku-Mangekyo into Tenseigan. While his eyes changed, a cyan chakra cloak began to envelop his body with two horn on his forehead and two Gudoudama were floating behind him. Because it was only a doppelganger, Rafi couldn't manifest more Gudoudama as its chakra was limited.
”The chakra cloak!! Are you also a jinchuriki?!” Minato asked him in shock. As Rafi's chakra cloak was similar yet also different with his chakra cloak, when Minato used Perfect Jinchuriki Mode.
”Unfortunately I am no jinchuriki. This is the ability of my eyes, Tenseigan. Another evolution of Byakugan. Here I come!”
”Byakugan could also evolves?!!”
”So that is what he said previously.” Hiashi muttered under his breath as he saw Rafi's new eyes and his transformation.
While Rafi was speaking, one Gudoudama changed into a staff on his right hand while another one floated calmly around his left hand. As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed forward to deal with Obito and Kakashi first. And thus, Rafi's fight with the group officially began atop the newly-formed forest. While below them, White Zetsu armies still continued their assaults on Alliance's shinobi fiercely. Moments later though, Hashirama, Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Naruto, Bee, Fourth Company, Tsunade and A arrived in the battlefield together. The Kages quickly joined the fight against Rafi atop the forest, while Fourth Company's shinobi dealt with White Zetsu below.
