Chapter 75: Legend in the Shinobi World!
"An achievement, that makes Esdeath enter the legend of the Ninja World."
"Each Ninja Village's Leader had a 'feat' that makes it eligible to rule."
Cornelia sighed in thought as she explained:
"For Kumo, it was the never-ending fights the Third Raikage had with Hachibi. Completely solidifying his strength in the eyes of the Thunder."
"For Konoha…It was the 'Will of fire' inherited by the Third Hokage and the absurd mastery he had over all Konoha's techniques"
"For Iwa…It was the 'only' Keikka Tota, the 'particle style' mastered by The Third Tsuchikage. "
"For Suna…The position of Kazekage is practically a birth right of your Family, because of the Legendary Magnet Style."
"But for Kiri…There was no 'real legend' that would unite the village under her grasp."
"At least not until now."
C.C had also nodded:
"This level of demonstration strength although very impressive, is not enough to completely unite the Mist under her."
"As time passes, people will always question her strength. Reality, no matter how great it is…"
"…Always becomes more and more futile with time"
Cornelia laughed:
"But Legends, they only become more impressive as the generations pile up!!"
"We needs Feats that solidifies her as an absolute legend. Even more than the other Four."
"Kiri needs to be scary. This were they strive. If they lose that...."
Cornelia smiled:
"As Schneizel said… To tame Kiri, you will need the carrot and the stick."
C.C smiled too:
"Esdeath just gave them stick. Showing them how fearful in reality she can be."
Eivor narrowed her eyes in wonder:
"Now it is the the time for the carrot. Showing them the legends they can write with her!!!"
The Kazekage felt his back turn cold:
'Just how much insight do they have on the Shinobi World ?!'
Cornelia had an excited smile:
"It's just so happens, that the perfect person to write this Legend with is at Kiri, at the moment."
" He has been controlling this village as his own for quite a while now."
Cornelia crouched up as she devoured the screen with her eyes:
"Esdeath…Don't disappoint me."
"Show me something Legendary! "
She continued the rest in her mind:
'After all…You too…are planning on 'conquering' him…'
Esdeath who saw everyone's allegiance finally had the widest smile as her eyes finally landed on where she was itching to land the most.
She looked up.
A Hooded man was standing on top of the tallest building of Kirigakure.
Unbridled by the snow nor by the storm. His clothes flickering in and out.
His ominous red eye gleaming in the snow, like a beast hiding in the storm waiting to pounce on it's prey!
Looking at him, Esdeath felt every fiber of her being on alert!
Her body was tingling with excitement!
Deep excitement she never once felt!
A feeling she never experienced on her home world!
She spoke :
"Aren't you going to bow as well?"
The hooded man responded with a calm yet weighty voice:
"Watch your words, Ice Girl."
"You may not survive enough time to see your office."
Esdeath felt deep pressure behind each of his words:
"It seems you are quite riled up. Does me becoming Mizukage inconvenience you that much?"
He smirked deep disdain in each of his words:
"For me all the Kage are nothing but weaklings…"
"...Disgusting weaklings."
"Why would I care if one replaced another?"
Esdeath smile only got bigger and bigger:
"I see. Not Caring about weaklings is only normal."
"But…You see…"
She took off her rapier as ice began forming around her!
"I just got into office and here I have such a BIG guest."
Her smile was brimming with sadist insanity:
"Wouldn't I be a bad Host if I didn't care of HIM?!!"
The hooded narrowed his eyes at the incoming enemy:
"Those are some big words! Let say if you can back them up!!!"
He jumped up, making extremely familiar hand signs as he pronounced:
"Katon! Gyokka Mekkyaku!!" (Katon: Great Fire annhilation!)
The attack that took all the effort of the Shinobi alliance to even repel was unleashed, like a raging fire from Hell, about to engulf the whole Mist Village!!
The Shinobi of The Mist Village felt their limbs tremble from fright at the simple sight of it!!
If nothing stops this technique this whole village is going to burn!!!
This is just how Strong the man was!!!
Yet one person was even more excited, rejoiced and elated!!!
"Great! I would expect no less from the powerhouses of this world!!"
Under the feet of the flying Esdeath an enormous Mass of Ice formed!!!
Enormous enough to crash the whole Hidden Mist!!
The two techniques clashed against another in a standstill!
As the ice continued to evaporate resisting the unrelenting assault of the fire!!
A side of The village was volcano hot and another was blizzard cold!!
When Esdeath judged that she was close enough to engage, she jumped, her rapier in her hand
The man smiled:
"Interesting…"
He took his signature weapon from his back!
A gunbai with tomoes engraved in it!
The both of them clashed in the air. The Eternal Magnekyou Sharingan constantly analyzing each aspect of her movement!
The two Taijutsu monsters continued to clash again and again!
Their sharp instinct guiding their movement!
Esdeath Swordsmanship vs The Uchiha's Taijutsu!!
In a standstill. The two landed, each on a platform. Only this time the hood was completely off!
At the other sided of the Screen, the Kazekage was on the verge of having a stroke!
"This is…!!! How the Hell?!!! He is alive?! You all knew that?!!"
One could finally see a man wearing, his attire from the Sengoku era.
He had aged quite a bit, he was now on his forties. His spiked hair descending to his back. One eye who had lost light and the other having a red familiar pattern.
A familiar pattern that didn't appear even in the First Shinobi World War.
The young shinobi or even the adult ones who fought in the First World War, couldn't recognize him.
The Shinobi who have passed once or twice by the Valley of the End, felt a sense of familiarity, yet they couldn't assimilate the great statue with this 40 old man.
But the old bastards, who saw him rampage in the battlefield of the Warring States Era, felt they feet go limp.
"Uchi…ha…"
"Uchiha Madara!!!!"
As the first one pronounced the dreaded name! Everyone in Kiri opened his eyes!
"Look at his eyes! It's really him!!!"
All the members of Kiri started panicking:
"Mizukage-sama! This is…!!!"
Esdeath smiled:
"So that's his name…"
At 40 of age, a shinobi was still in his prime.
This Shinobi who knew that he will not go out from here without a fight decided to fight it out!
This Shinobi who from the first time in decades felt the tingling of excitement as he faced an 'intersting' adversary, smiled meaningfully:
"Are you ready? Mizukage …"
Esdeath smiled as she marched, the rhythm of her high heels taking over the whole silent, tensed village. He continued to speak with arrogance:
"You are not fighting some worthless Kage, this time."
He smiled wildly:
"Are you ready to dance?"
Esdeath smiled was even wilder, as she made a signature rapier wielder pose, like a dancing ice demon :
"I live for the dance!!
