The Unforgettable Clash

The morning light slowly came to the Land of Fire, gradually replacing the darkness of the previous night. Yoshi was still running through the regular pretty lush forest expeditiously.

His current destination was the place where one familiar blue dot of chakra aura was.

And, as he got increasingly closer to it, the aura in question appeared even bigger and bigger to him, in his mindscape, indicating that he was really getting closer to it.

After a few more hours of efficient speeding up, he finally arrived there. It was a small wooden cottage somewhere in the middle of a forest.

Inside of it was the already familiar and very dear chakra aura of a particular girl.

He soon stood in front of it and opened the crumbly wooden door. A pretty purple-haired girl immediately sprung into his arms, hugging him affectionately, "You finally came!"

This was the little hut he and Anko discovered recently while performing a mission together, before. So, they made this their meeting point now.

"Didn't I tell you that I'll come back quickly? Look at this..." Yoshi suddenly grinned mischievously, moving Anko away from him for a bit, then pulling the edge of his shirt upwards a little.

A strange kind of a seal consisting of different peculiar black markings was strikingly present on his well-defined abdominal muscles now.

"Wow..." Anko unwittingly exclaimed after seeing this.

"Haha, juicy aren't I?" Yoshi swiftly pulled his shirt down again, before teasing her a bit.

"N-No, I was just... about the seal..." Anko suddenly blushed profusely and attempted to explain.

"Yes, of course..." He just smiled teasingly again.

"Think what you want, hmh..." Anko snorted a little after regaining her composure a bit.

"Is that beast... now inside of you?" She asked uncertainly next, after thinking about something for a second.

"Yes, I'm a 'Jinchuriki' now!" Yoshi replied feeling pretty contented. After many years of patient waiting, he finally accomplished this step of his journey.

"Then... about Konoha... " Anko asked a bit restlessly.

"Soon they won't have any energy left to deal with me, believe me..." Yoshi suddenly said a bit knowingly before continuing somewhat dangerously.

"And, on that note, there's a certain person that I'll have to deal with next..."

"A certain person...?" Anko asked unsurely again.

"It's Jiraiya the Sannin!" Yoshi smiled murderously all of sudden.

"H-Him!?" Anko opened her eyes wide incredulously.

"Yeah, he's the biggest obstacle for my next plans regarding Konoha..." Yoshi replied a bit cold-bloodedly, "We'll just remain here until I sense him entering the Land of Fire again!"

Jiraiya is the current acting leader of the Konohagakure's regular widespread spy agency, directly reporting to the Third Hokage.

He was recently very busy keeping tabs on Konoha's new informal vassal states, ensuring that there is no interference from other great shinobi villages.

So, he was not in the Konohagakure often and wasn't present to help in the devastating attack yesterday.

"Eh, but wouldn't that take a few more days!?" Anko asked again, feeling a little impatient.

"Wait, that doesn't need to be the case!"

"My sensory range expanded once again recently... I'll try to sense him from here, but I must concentrate really hard first!" Yoshi exclaimed, all of sudden, in realization.

His perception range already rivaled or even surpassed the Tobirama Senju's one, at the moment!

"He should be rushing back to Konoha as soon as he hears the shocking news!"

"Let me concentrate carefully for now!"

"After we finish with him, I promise to take you somewhere interesting!"

Nearly twenty-four hours later, legendary Jiraiya the Sannin was speeding up towards his home village very worried and distressed.

He couldn't start thinking straight again, ever since his sensei sent him that alarming letter!

The Nine-Tails incomprehensibly let itself free, and wreaked great havoc inside the village,

Orochimaru came back, attempting to assassinate his teacher, the Third Hokage,

And the most surprising thing of the night, young Yoshi Uzumaki actually managed to steal the rampaging Nine-Tails, sealing it inside himself promptly, murdering his favorite disciple Minato Namikaze and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, in the process, as well?

'That despicable little guy truly managed to fool us all before!'

'But, he'll have to pay for all of his heinous deeds!' Jiraiya thought fiercely all of a sudden.

He was soon about to quickly enter the Land of Fire through its northern borders.

Minutes passed freely, and Jiraiya suddenly got a really bad, battle-honed, hunch that someone was awaiting him just a little further.

"Well, if it isn't the famous Sannin, Jiraiya!? We've been looking for you!" A young red-haired and tall man suddenly surprisingly jumped in front of Jiraiya from the nearby trees. Besides him was an equally young, purple-haired, girl.

"Y-You!?" Jiraiya suddenly opened his eyes wide, exclaiming incredulously.

Wasn't this the guy he just vowed to make and pay for all his heinous deeds?

"Do you understand what have you done!?" He suddenly yelled angrily and emotionally.

"Yes, I do, and now I'm about to do something unexpected once again..." Yoshi just smiled mockingly. Anko looked at his confident expression feeling mesmerized.

Jiraiya suddenly calmed down, looking at him seriously then.

'Did he mean...?'

"Jiraiya the Sannin, prepare to die today!"

Yoshi suddenly shouted in the next moment, chains already springing up from his back. He didn't want to waste any more time on this clearly indoctrinated person.

Jiraiya looked at this solemnly, already biting on his right thumb and putting his whole hand on the ground quickly as well.

'Summoning Jutsu: Gamahiro!'

'Summoning Jutsu: Gamaken!'

Suddenly, two giants frogs startlingly appeared in this large forest, immediately creating two giant craters of trees and other vegetation.

One of them had an aquamarine skin tone and yellow eyes with grey markings around them and two distinct, circular markings on his shoulders.

He also carried two huge katanas on his back, which are his main weapons with an orange sash around his stomach.

The other giant toad was magenta-colored with black markings present on his face, arms, and legs with horn-like protrusions on his head.

'He already has contracts with them and could summon them at the same time...?'

Yoshi thought quickly while his large chains pulled him backward. He was also currently carrying Anko in his arms protectively. "Don't be afraid Anko, they are just frogs! And, I'm here!"

"Uhm," Anko nodded while hidden in his bulky chest. She was feeling somewhat inadequate for her strength and mindset once again.

"Look at how I'll deal with these two froggies now!" Yoshi suddenly exclaimed,

Directing some of his unique chains to spring into an attack immediately.

Jiraiya was already on top of the aquamarine-skinned giant frog.

It currently breathlessly fought against Yoshi's yellow chakra chains, not allowing them to encircle it at all, with its two unique katanas.

And, the other frog magenta-colored frog did the same thing!

The sounds of giant chains and iron swords clashing together fiercely resounded all throughout this usually quiet and peaceful forest.

Seeing this scene, Anko grew a little worried again and looked at Yoshi.

"Did you forget about those clones before, Anko?"

Yoshi just smiled strangely,

'Catastrophic Clone Bombing!'

His gaze turning cold-blooded while looking at the next scene down below.

'Oh no, he already planted those clones of his, in the ground before, after sensing me approaching!'

Jiraiya thought perilously before hearing loud rumbles down bellow, his frogs already jumping into the air high, but now seriously injured and soon dissolving into two large puffs of smoke promptly.

'Damn!'

'If fighting him on the ground isn't an option, then how should I fight him?'

'I'll need to end this fast!'

"Fukasaku, Shima, help me enter the Sage Mode fast!" He suddenly said to the two toads on his shoulders, whom he already summoned during the previous commotion.

They nodded seriously and promptly clasped their hands together.

"Anko, brace yourself now, I'm about to go and end this!"

Yoshi already lunged himself forward with his chains again.

'I won't allow you to enter the Sage Mode when I don't need to!'

Seeing this, Jiraiya grew even more precarious.

'Damn, if only Gamabunta wasn't injured at this time...'

"Yoshi wait! We could talk about this!? What forced you to commit such heinous acts?" Jiraiya suddenly shouted from the distance towards the rapidly approaching Yoshi.

"You won't buy any time from me, Jiraiya. There's no possible reconciliation between us now, and we both know it. You'll die today by my hand and nothing will change that!"

Yoshi explained fiercely before his chakra chains suddenly turned blazingly orange.

'Blazing Adamantine Sealing Chains!'

'Not good!'

Jiraiya thought critically before his hair suddenly grew longer and considerably thicker,

Shooting straight at those scorching chains, only to get burned hopelessly in the end.

'Bad! They've still not gathered enough natural energy!!'

Same as he did before, instead of directly attacking Jiraiya from the front, Yoshi controlled his blazing chains to entrap him in a hellish flaming cage, instead.

'Blazing Adamantine Chains - Furnace!'

Anko looked at this eye-catching scene, astonished, first time seeing this skill of Yoshi's.

"Faster! Faster!"

Jiraiya suddenly yelled frantically to the two frogs on top of his shoulders.

The walls were moving closer and closer!

He felt like he was suddenly placed in the center of an active volcano!

'I don't want him completely burned to the ashes now!'

'So, I'll do this instead...'

One of his previous chains suddenly exited the flame cage formation, moving back towards him expeditiously, and the previous fire was already distinguished from it.

Anko looked curiously as Yoshi suddenly touched the chain in question with his right hand. Some kind of weird black fuinjutsu runes immediately started getting engraved on it, masterfully.

Self-Cursing Seal, originally an Uzumaki's clan special advanced fuinjutsu,

This seal can be applied during combat, and can secretly be placed on the opponent's body. When the user activates it, the curse seal's marks spread around the opponent's body, paralyzing them.

It can also be added on top of various weapons for more furtive use.

After the engravement, the chain immediately rushed towards the blazing furnace.

Other chains quickly moving a little, skillfully, allowing in to pass freely towards the inside.

Jiraiya suddenly felt something surprisingly touching him lightly on his abdomen, in the sea of blazingly hot flames.

He immediately perceived some kind of artificial heaviness spreading all throughout his whole body. He felt like, even if he wanted to move, he couldn't now.

He grew even more shocked and apprehensive now, as the hellish chains started moving away from him a little, allowing him to see the outside world normally again.

But, the next thing he saw, was actually the end of him!

It was a blue-like laser made of water, rushing straight towards him, both very surging and precise,

Entering his heart directly,

And instantly killing him.

'Water Release: Water Severing Wave!'

'Just because I didn't use it for a long time doesn't mean that I forgot about it!'

Anko who was still in Yoshi's arms, opened her mouth wide, rubbing her eyes a little bit as well.

This guy just killed one of the legendary Sannins?

And it was so easy?

In just a few minutes?

She already knew that Yoshi was very strong before, but only now did she realize the true extent of his power!

Yoshi just put her down and smiled a little, going straight towards the direction of Jiraiya's dead body now.

As he got closer towards there, his smile got a little meaningful.

'Adamantine Chain Bullet!'

Two yellow chains suddenly, unexpectedly, shot extremely fast towards the ground!

"I didn't forget about you two pests!"

Somewhere in the ground, extremely distressed old Fukasaku and Shima suddenly and unknowingly perished tragically themselves as well.

All of the Great Toad Sage's prophecies nullified today by Yoshi!

He moved closer towards Jiraiya's body and sealed some of his flesh away quickly, in the same way, he did before with Minato and Kushina. 'You'll all become a part of my undead army in the future!'

"Why are you so dazed right now? Was I simply too handsome this time?" Yoshi suddenly came in front of Anko, and flicked her a little on the forehead, bringing her out of a daze effectively.

"Yoshi! Why are you so powerful!?" Anko asked incredulously, all of sudden.

"Haha... I was simply too low-key before, Anko!"

"But now, there's nothing to hide anymore!"

"Nothing to fear anymore..."

Yoshi said eccentrically in succession while touching the seal on his abdomen a little.

"Let's go towards that place now!" Yoshi exclaimed next, feeling a bit expecting.

"Just what is that place?" Anko suddenly asked curiously again, after regained her compose from hearing Yoshi's bold statements before.

"Even if it doesn't make me, it will surely make you stronger, Anko!"

Yoshi suddenly laughed again and replied confidently.

'Make me stronger...?'

'Maybe I could finally help him a little, then...?'

Anko suddenly thought joyfully and excitedly.

"Alright, let's go now, there are many things for us to do next!"

Yoshi exclaimed seriously all of sudden.

'I must talk to the Nine-Tails as soon as possible,'

'Finish that seal for Takumi,'

'And finally, work on that particular idea...'

'Not to mention, even those two techniques...'

The fuinjutsu realms Yoshi has reached now were truly very magical and unpredictable.
