17 You Gotta Party for your right to fight... hold up what? (2/2)

I summon over a thousand clones and send them out to find him, after looking around for 4 minutes I start getting some memories of my clones, it appears he is taking them out. I start wobbling though, so I start thinking about fighting more and more, to try and get into the mindset. To finish it off I take another swig.

I head on over to the area where my clones were getting taken out at and have them all converge here, I see him going and taking out a few clones that are distracted because they are so wobbly. I can't blame them though, I can barely stand as it is.

”Shtop riy ther, Immm tha reeel unn” I don't even know have broken my English is right now, but I charge right at him and right when he is about to attack I slip on some grass and land at his feet, damn my coordination right now. I push myself back up with my arms, but I almost send myself onto my back completely but I catch myself with my arms and get him in the face with my foot.

At this point my clones are so out of it that they trip and fall leading to them being unsummoned and me getting their memories which disorients me even more, so I completely fall onto my back and almost pass out from exhaustion. I roll over though, apparently dodging another kick, and throw my sword at his feet. After a few moments the explosion knocks me over since I forgot I put explosion tags onto in, actually a lot of them.

I hope back up from the explosion and run back at him before I jump with my legs heading into him first. He puts his arms up to block an attack from above, but I bring my legs from the sides, hitting him on both ears, then drag him down before hitting myself hard on my ass as I land. Apparently though I used the momentum I had to send him flying in the distance. Man this is great.

It seems Sarutobi was getting sick of this though and starting using various Jutsu to counter me, he used flame breath, tried making some walls around me, used some wind blades on some of my kunai, and even tried getting me with some weird syrup.

His biggest mistake was using weapons with my formula against me though, as drunk as I am I still knew an opportunity when I saw when, so right as he threw it I teleported to him, wrapped my legs around him, and took him down using my heavier weight. I then started flashing to various formula around me to throw him off, but all it did was make me throw up.

After I got the contents of my stomach onto the ground I summoned some shadow clones and made them go and take up a lot of his time when suddenly I felt my hand burn, waking me from the stupor I was in. Shit I was dominating too!

I pull out another sword I had and get into a stance as I look around me, the Hokage disappeared and I don't know where. I glance at my hand every so often and think it's not too bad, especially since my healing started working on it already.

Then I recall a sword technique I can use, but I am going to take it up a few notches, the Dance of The Crescent Moon.

I summon 20 shadow clones, some to act as decoys, and some for actual use. We all form up and start trying to find Sarutobi, and I see him preparing I jutsu in the trees so I throw a kunai at the trunk beside him before flashing to it and kicking him towards the ground, then my clones show up and one slices at him, but misses as Sarutobi uses his jutsu to give him a boost into the air instead of damaging me or my clones, taking the opportunity I jump towards him to strike.

When he gets ready to counter me though I created another clone and used him not just as a boost, but sent him into Sarutobi to send him towards the ground, Sarutobi wasn't ready for me to do that and tried to use a Jutsu to cushion his fall but right before he manages to one of my clones kicks him from the side, not giving him any time to get his bearings, and another clone hits him up like a volleyball.

At this point I am slowly falling so I summon another clone to throw me up into the air higher since I have a badass plan. While that clone was raising me up the other clones were hitting Sarutobi up with just enough force to keep him distracted, then he saw me falling, and he realized it was too late. I let my momentum carry me down towards him.

He uses a small wind jutsu to try and diver my course but another clone appears behind me and and launches me right at him, and using that new found speed I don't hit him with my sword since I don't want to hurt him too badly, but I give him a good slam towards the ground using both of my fists.

Not wanting to fall to the ground myself I flash to a clone a dismiss all the ones I am using in this field as I witness the Hokage crash into the ground, sending up a cloud of dirt like it was a geyser.

From behind me all of a sudden I feel something cold against the back of my neck and hear Sarutobi's voice, ”Drat, looks like that was 20 minutes. I was looking forward to more fun.”

It was only 15 minutes though? Wait a second... did I really hurt him that much? I look at him at raise an eyebrow after he pulls the kunai away. He looks at me and blinks, cheeky bastard, he wanted to go out in style and make it seem like he would've won if it wasn't for the time. Alright alright, I'll play along for now. Just you wait.

Hey everyone, your favorite(Okay maybe not favorite, but loved? Liked? Tolerated? That's it) author here. Good news and bad news, and before you ask I am not stopping the story so don't you have those thoughts. I said don't!

I just wanted to tell everyone that I haven't been having a good day/week and after talking to a friend I decided to make a patreon which you can find here:

The reason being is honestly, I've been worrying about money a lot for the past while and have been keeping afloat by writing articles, but they take all the fun I have for writing away and makes me less motivated to write my story. So I decided now was the time to start a patreon, because honestly I am getting so frustrated with these articles I write not getting accepted despite me putting so much effort into them.

I would much rather just write all day and talk to you guys. I haven't really played videogames since I started writing this novel and honestly I don't mind it, but I want to do it more and with my current time I just can't. Granted I am still in college and can't do 50 chapters a week (S/O to Endless Path's author since that is something unimaginable to me) but for every less article I have to write is another article's worth of time I can dedicate to this story.

Take a look at the page, I don't really mind if there aren't many that support me in the beginning since I am a new author and am kind of unknown, that's why I am not expecting much. But I can say that in the beginning, for every 40 dollars I earn a month is another article I won't write and that much more effort I am putting into this story.

Thanks for reading my rant you guys, and honestly I am loving you all more as the day goes by, and this is what makes my days worthwhile, I love seeing how many of you have added my story to your libraries, that over 90K people have seen it, and the fact that I've never had over 30 powerstones before but now I have 61?! This is so out there to me.

That's why I have a bit of hope that at least some point in the future I can do this full time. Thanks again.
