24. First Boss Fight Ends.

"Are you going to be able to fight?" Shikamaru asked, looking at the injured Akira. He knew Akira was the reason he walked out of the attack unharmed.

"Yeah, I only have to use ninjutsu. I can do it while sitting. If I need to move, the puppet guy can use his strings. You can do it, right?" Akira responded.

"I have never tried it before. Ouch!" Kankuro held his arm, which was punched by Temari. Looking at his angry sister, Kankuro agreed to help.

"So let's do it. Fuyo, how is the beast doing?" Akira asked.

Fuyo concentrated to sense the chakra. She could see it clearly, like a bonfire in the dark. Concentrating on it, she found the chakra of the beast flowing to its arm, probably to heal it.

"Less than before. The rate of replenishment is also slower," Fuyo replied.

"It looks like we are still in phase one of the plan. Fuyo, Ajisai, Suiren, and Temari, take the first shift," Akira instructed.

Swish!

They started the attack. Ajisai opened the barrage with summoning ropes. The instant she saw Groudon among the mist, she threw the wet ropes to bind his arms. Fuyo jumped by her side.

"Water Release: Water Whip!"

The water whip started covering the ropes to make sure they didn't burn apart. Groudon roared. With his roar, the ground beneath his feet started heating up.

Bang!

With a blast, a volcanic eruption occurred. Magma poured out, covering Groudon in it, causing the ropes to burn apart. The eruption threw some magma rocks toward Ajisai and Fuyo, who dodged them. Seeing Groudon concentrating on Ajisai, Suiren and Temari emerged from hiding from the Hiding in Mist Technique right behind Groudon.

Suiren weaved the hand signs and spat a stream of water. The water reformed into a dragon.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The water cooled down the scales on Groudon's back. Temari took out a tanto and coated the blade with wind chakra.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"

She pierced the tanto horizontally into Groudon's cooled back. The blade easily pierced through, coming out of his chest. Groudon roared in pain; the damage was too much for him.

ROARRRRRRRRR!

Suddenly, the clouds split apart to let the sunlight through. Seeing the rays of light, everyone knew phase two of the plan could start, so they began to get out of the pit. Akira sat at the edge of the fighting pit made by Groudon.

"Water Release: Water Dome!" Akira spat out a large amount of water. The water formed over the pit, and Akira controlled it to form a convex lens, concentrating the sunshine onto Groudon. As the concentrated beam of light illuminated Groudon, it supercharged him.

Once Akira saw Groudon, he knew no one here had enough firepower to finish him off. So he came up with a plan. Anyone who had seen the Groudon movie would remember the iconic moves of Groudon. According to the anime, after recovering with Sunny Day, Groudon would use one of two moves. He just had to make sure it was Solar Beam.

He changed the shape of the water dome into a concave lens and said, "It's ready."

Haku placed her hand on the dome. "Demonic Mirroring Ice."

The dome suddenly froze.

Temari: "It's our turn. Let's go!"

Temari and the others passed through the mirror with Haku's help. Ajisai and the others started gliding upside on the mirror and firing ninjutsu, attracting Groudon's attention. He started gathering light energy in his mouth. Seeing the light, Haku moved. She entered the mirror, appeared behind Temari, grabbed her, and pulled her into the mirror. She transferred her out of the dome and did the same with the others. Gaara covered the dome with his sand for protection.

"Shikamaru!" Akira called.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it." Shikamaru made a Rat hand seal. His shadow grew and attached to the dome. The only light source being the light bomb formed by Groudon made Groudon's shadow extremely long and easy to capture by Shikamaru.

"Shadow Imitation Jutsu. Complete," Shikamaru said, tilting his head, causing Groudon to look straight up. Groudon couldn't delay the attack and fired "Solar Beam" straight up.

"And that's checkmate," Akira smirked.

The beam expanded and traveled straight up. The concave mirror reflected the beam of light back while converging at its focus, which was just above Groudon's head. The beam was converged to the size of a coin on his head. It went straight through him, vaporizing anything in its path. Before he could react, he was dead.

Crunch!

The ice dome broke apart. The ice cooled down the ground. The only sound was the sound of rain. The group reached the edge of the pit to look into it.

"Did we get it?" Shikamaru asked.

"Hey, I want to see it too. Someone help me get up," Akira complained. Hearing this, Team Ajisai came to his aid. He put his arm around the shoulders of Ajisai and Fuyo for support and walked with only one leg. He looked to Karin to see if she could sense Groudon's chakra.

Seeing his look, she said, "Looks like it's dead."

With the death confirmed, Akira breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What are you waiting for? It's dead. Go home now."

"Shouldn't we check if it's dead? Maybe we can get its corpse for research. It was a new tailed beast-type monster, right?" Kankuro suggested. He thought about how awesome his puppet would be if made from this monster. Maybe he could make a fire-breathing dragon that could fly by using the fire. Kankuro felt that he would be fulfilling not just his dream but Groudon's as well.

"Don't they teach optics in your school? The light converged by the mirror diverges after crossing the mirror's focus. So now the small hole you see at the center is the top of a conical hole with who knows how much depth. Unless you want to swim in lava, I wouldn't recommend jumping in," Akira explained.

"You're just saying that since it's closer to your village. You will come back faster than us," Kankuro complained.

"Kankuro, enough!" Gaara's voice silenced him. He looked at Team Ajisai and bowed. "Thank you for your help. I will make sure you get a good reward for your work."

Seeing Gaara's words and actions, everyone other than Akira was astonished. Gaara's thirst for blood was known not just in his village but in all ninja villages.

Akira smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, kid. Me receiving money from the Sand Village will not be a good thing for me or you. Anyway, the Rock Village getting another jinchuriki would have been a bad thing for our village too. So, I only did it for my village."

He looked around and sensed approaching dangers and said, "Now, I don't think we have much time. Since we caused such a big commotion, I'm sure a lot of people are converging here. So, I suggest everyone go back to their villages."

All of them nodded. He looked at Haku and Karin one last time, who were looking at him as if they had something to talk about but couldn't say. Seeing Shikamaru noticing that, he decided to give them a way out, "Karin, Haku. I can't accept your proposal now as you are so young. But if you feel the same a few years later, I will be happy to accept both of you."

Seeing Haku smiling awkwardly and Karin screaming angrily, "Who likes you? You pervert, hentai, ..."

Akira just rode on Ajisai's back, who easily lifted him and said, "Such a tsundere."

Fuyo, who was running alongside Ajisai, asked, "What's a tsundere?"

Akira smiled, "It's a vast topic. It's a good thing we have a lot of time..."
