Taika vs... Orochimaru? The fight for The Sword of Kusanagi! (LW fight)

Orochimaru's Stats:

Orochimaru had been deep in the forest collecting certain herbs for his newest experiments when a young boy had appeared before him. "Have you heard of a man named Orochimaru? I've been told he's in the area, and aim to kill him." This puny child thought himself strong enough to not only take on the great Orochimaru but try and kill him? An evil grin crossed Orochimaru's face after licking his lips with an abnormally long tongue. "Kukukuku. I am Orochimaru. What makes you think a brat like you could best me in a fight? You are nothing but an ant beneath my boot." he said to the arrogant boy standing before him. He was curious as to what made the boy think he was strong enough to fight Orochimaru, maybe he could be one of his newest test subjects.

This kid was definitely going to be Orochimaru's newest test subject. He had Sharingan eyes and the Hachibi sealed within him. That made Orochimaru's thirst for power grow. At least the kid had a reason to be so over confident. Orochimaru merely gave a menaiacle laugh as the boy created some 25 clones around him and coated himself in a cloak of light red chakra spouting 1 tail. Orochimaru had all the time in the world to act. Without a word, he paralyzed Taika and all 25 of his clones which were all within 15 meters of Orochimaru for 1 post if they have a health stat of less than 60 by expelling his chakra outward in a 25 meter radius. They would be restrained as if metal restraints held them in place. "Kukukuku. You stand no chance against me boy. Now you will be killed and those wonderful eyes and the Hachibi will be mine." The boy had no idea who he was dealing with. Orochimaru made the hand seals Tiger → Snake → Dog → Dragon → Clap hands and 4 wooden coffins rose from the ground 2ft in front of Orochimaru. Each coffin opened simultaneously and 4 people stepped out. They contained the first four Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash himself.

Hashirama performed the Snake hand seal as he stepped out of his coffin, red markings simultaneously covering his face to signify his sage mode. A large  flowering tree erupted from the ground at a speed of 125, carrying up Orochimaru and the 4 Edo summoned Kage with it to stop 65 meters above Taika and his clones. As the tree grew, it spewed forth a pollen in a 50 meter radius rendering anyone with less than 50 health unconscious immediately. Anyone with 50+ health may stay conscious for 2 posts.

Minato threw 27 raijin Kunai at Taika and his clones and between Hashirama's feet as he stepped out of the coffin. In a series of yellow flashes, Minato appeared next to Taika and each of his clones as the raijin kunai reached them and stabbed them in the head with a kunai he had kept in his hand before appearing next to Hashirama as the tree grew.

Hiruzen and Tobirama simultaneously began weaving seals as they stepped forth from their own respective coffins, ready to perform their own jutsu in case they are needed.

If all goes as planned, Taika and his clones will be dead and/or unconscious and Orochimaru and the 4 Hokage will be in a flowering tree 65 meters in the air.

All of Taika's clones had been dispelled, however Taika himself had seemed to have substituted upon being stabbed by Minato. Orochimaru and the four Kage stood high in the flowering tree, pollen flowing out as far as 125m away from it. The 5 had sensed Taika appear 25 meters away and then flee even farther. "So the boy wants to play Hide and seek does he? I will not be bothered to chase him. He will come to me soon enough." said Orochimaru, an evil grin spread across his face. The raijin kunai that Minato had thrown were still spread out, strategically stuck in different areas.

Tobirama withdrew 30 of his own raijin kunai and threw them at strategic points varying in distance from the 5 ninja so that he may also use FTG to catch the silly little test subject unawares. After positioning the raijin kunai, Tobirama and Minato placed their FTG seals on all of the five including each other and then placed their seals on the tree where they stood. Orochimaru then performed the hand seals Tiger-Boar-Ox-Dog-Snake, locking in the substitution technique for the very rare chance he may need it. Once the preparations were finished, Orochimaru and the four Hokage stood atop the tree, patiently waiting for the little rat to come out to play.

The kid was still far off but had suppressed his chakra so that Orochimaru and the Kage could no longer sense them. The ninja had patience and would wait until the boy inevitably returned to die. Minato suddenly coated his body in a golden chakra cloak with black lines intersecting at different parts. Once he had his cloak activated, he created four clones of himself in a puff of smoke while Hiruzen and Tobirama did the same. Hashirama would create four clones of himself as well, however these were wood clones instead of shadow clones. Hashirama then performed the snake seal again to form a throne from the tree behind Orochimaru in which Orochimaru sat down. With the four Hokages making a total of 12 shadow clones and 4 wood clones, all 16 clones and the 4 Hokage spread out in a 30 meter radius, hiding in strategic locations and suppressing their chakra so as to take the boy unawares when he came close. Hashirama made sure to manipulate the pollen around the 20 of them so they would not be affected.

Back on top of the tree sitting in his newly made throne, Orochimaru let his sensory chakra flow so as to detect any incoming movement and waited for the real fight to begin.

Orochimaru had gotten bored of waiting. He had the 4 Kage make 25 more clones each, a grand total of 120 all together. The original Hashirama was the only one that stayed back, making the Snake hand seal to manipulate the pollen around all 119 of the others as they moved out at top speed. They had gotten 128 meters away from the tree when they felt a sudden surge of chakra before it disappeared. They headed in that direction, surrounding the spot. They managed to find Taika rather easily. The 119 Kage surrounded Taika in a circle leaving a 2o meter buffer between each of them and Taika, Taika being in the center. All of the Minato and Tobirama threw 1 raijin kunai at a 10 meter radius around Taika at once, totaling 60 raijin kunai.

All of the Hashirama clones simultaneously created one large 1 meter thick root by performing the Snake hand seal for a total of 29 one meter thick roots coming at him at a speed of 65 from every direction except above, to try and restrain him.

All 30 Hiruzen Sarutobis simultaneously performed the hand seals Tiger-Hare-Boar-Dog, to create a ring of 20 meter high earth walls in a ring around Taika with no exit except above at a speed of 65 with a health of 75 to trap him in place.

As soon as the raijin kunai were close enough, the Tobiramas and Minatos appeared where they were in blinding yellow flashes, snatching their respective kunai out of the air and taking up a stance, facing Taika.

As Minato and Tobirama threw their riajin kunai, Taika's clones appeared and threw their own back at them, a majority aimed at 10 of the Minato clones with the rest only aimed at 2 Tobirama clones. At the same time, Taika used a fire style technique to destroy the roots coming for him that Hashirama had made. 

Taika's clones had intercepted all but 5 raijin kunai, only one of which was close enough to work with. The kunai sped right past the left side of Taika's neck underneath his ear at an angel so that it would pass right behind his back. It was Minato's. The Fourth Hokage disappeared in a yellow flash only to instantly appear where the kunai was, snatching it out of the air and immediately grazed Taika's back with his fingertip, leaving his seal on the boy before backflipping away 2ft and launching the kunai straight at the boy's head at a speed of 122. The moment the kunai made impact, the boy disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Orochimaru had been watching everything that had happened through the eyes of the Edo summoned Kage. The boy had shown promise and Orochimaru had decided it was time to fight the boy himself.

 All of the clones suddenly disappeared in puffs of smoke, leaving only the Edo summoned Minato, Tobirama and Hiruzen. They remained only a second longer before the 3 of them disappeared in yellow flashes, only to appear on three corners surrounding the Advent tree facing away from it, the original Hashirama taking up the fourth corner. Hashirama stopped the flow of pollen from the tree and let it dissipate. The four Kage would stay where they were, even if Taika were to appear.

Orochimaru had gleaned enough of the boy's techniques to deem him worthy of Orochimaru's attention. 'I'm surprised at the boy's power. He will make a good test subject indeed.' he thought to himself as he opened his mouth and pulled out a sword with his right hand.

The four Hokage watched as the boy had shown up on a giant slug Orochimaru knew well, Katsuyu. This brat had the Slug Princess's summon. Orochimaru found that even more interesting. The boy got down off of Katsuyu and asked Orochimaru what the Hokage were. What an ignorant little brat. Orochimaru didn't say anything to the boy's idiotic question. In fact he did not move at all. He wanted to see what the boy would do. That was when the boy began walking in a rythmic circle around Orochimaru. From there, a bunch of attacks came at Orochimaru all at once from every direction and he couldn't move. He could however speak. "Kukukukuku. Well done." he said as the attacks landed.


If it weren't for his forethought Orochimaru would be dead. He allowed himself to be caught and restrained because he knew he wouldn't die. As soon as the attacks hit he would disappear in a puff of smoke and there would be a log in its place. Orochimaru had substituted 25 meters away, seemingly at the same time Taika had, and appered 3 meters in front of him. "That was an interesting strategy boy. You will need to do better than that if you wish to defeat me. I will have those fascinating eyes of yours added to my collection." Orochimaru said before licking his lips with his snake-like tongue.

The boy quickly made the Ram seal and ran 33 meters from Orochimaru. As Taika created the Ram seal, Orochi started to swing his blade so it would decapitate Taika. Mid swing, Taika took off to stop 33 meters away a mere second later, Orochimaru's swing barely missing its mark. He immediately begin swinging again, and disappeared in a yellow flash to reapppear swinging his sword at Taika's neck at 100 speed just as he had come to a stop. Because he was transported with Minato's FTG, the kunai thrown by Taika's clone severely missed his target. If everything went according to plan, Taika's head would be severed from his body. If for some reason Orochimaru's attack missed, Minato would use FTG to move Orochi back to the top of the tree, simultaneously teleporting behind Taika and use Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique to switch with Tobirama as Tobirama used Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique.(He did not use FTG, Minato used his technique to teleport Orochimaru due to his mark being on both Orochi and Taika and so part of his chakra was touching Orochimaru.)

Before Orochimaru could do anything, a strange acid attack came at him from the bushes. He was stuck in place and being deteriorated by the acid. Kusanagi fell from his hands to stick in the ground just out side of the acid. As he lay dying, Taika picked up Kusanagi, saying "And THAT is the power of Taika "8-Tails". Orochimaru couldn't believe he had lost to this brat. It was over, he had lost.
[congrats! You have won the sword Kusanagi!]

Approved, and you also get the additional wc needed for Katsuyu, Kirito, you get 20 points for this fine work as orochimaru
