Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Year 66

POV: Menma Uzumaki

Gravity pulled me back to the ground, but I controlled my descent with a backflip. My mind was calm, but my senses were alert. I wouldn't be caught off guard.

I quickly unrolled the scroll from my back, performing a series of complex mudras. A drop of blood on the seal was enough to release the sealed power. An explosion of smoke engulfed the area, and a terrifying roar echoed. Kyûbi appeared, immense and terrifying, its nine tails sweeping the air. Its eyes reflected pure, destructive rage, a rage I was about to direct against Konoha.

I placed my foot on Kyûbi's head, holding my black scythe. A smirk stretched across my lips.

"Come on, fox. Unleash your power."

Kyûbi roared, concentrating an enormous bijū ball in front of its mouth. The chakra of the bijudama crackled in the air, ready to devastate everything in its path. But before Kyûbi could attack, a wave of green chakra dazzled the surroundings.

"Opening of the Seventh Gate!" a powerful voice shouted.

*Tiger Zenith*

A silver tiger emerged, striking Kyûbi with phenomenal force. The impact made the colossus stagger, but its anger did not diminish. Massive horns emerged from the ground, wrapping around its legs in an attempt to contain it.

I frowned, landing on the ground.

"Gai... and Yamato? No. They're all here."

An army of ninjas already encircled the area. Gai and Yamato focused on Kyûbi, while across from me stood Kakashi, Sakura, Lee, Shikamaru, Kurenai, Asuma, Choji, and other jonins to help them deal with Kyubi. Their gazes were resolute.

I scanned the assembly, amused.

"What a warm welcome. The copy ninja, Tsunade's disciple, the son of the Sandaime... But where is he? Where is the heir of the Yondaime?"

Shikamaru didn't wait a second more.

"Shadow Bind!"

Shadows crawled towards me, but I dodged with ease, jumping back. Choji appeared immediately, his giant fist ready to strike.

"Partial Decuplication!"

"Pathetic."

With blinding speed, I appeared before him, a crushing kick sending Choji flying through a wall. Lee then attempted a reverse kick, but I blocked it with my arm, then dodged Sakura's reinforced punch.

"Katon: Ultimate Fireball!" Kakashi shouted, launching an immense ball of flames.

I spun my scythe, cutting the attack in two. I advanced quickly, targeting Kurenai.

"What does a sensory ninja hope to accomplish here? Do you think I'll run away?"

*Genjutsu - Flower Petal Escape*

Kurenai attempted a genjutsu, but I dissipated her illusion with my Sharingan before it took effect. I was already in front of her, my hand gripping her throat.

"An opponent as weak as you has no place here."

My scythe rose, ready to strike, but Asuma leaped to her rescue, his wind chakra blades.

I intercepted his attack, pushing him back with a powerful kick. Shikamaru took advantage of the opening.

"Shadow Bind!"

This time, Shikamaru's shadows pinned me in place.

"Finally," Sakura murmured before leaping towards me.

But I wasn't fooled.

I released golden chakra chains, breaking Shikamaru's shadows and immobilizing Sakura mid-air. I wasted no time: a kick struck her in the stomach, propelling her into the air.

A clone appeared above her, delivering a series of violent blows, making her spit blood.

— "Die!"

In my hand appeared an intense blue Rasengan. As I was about to crush it onto Sakura, a green aura exploded near me.

"Fifth Gate" Lee cried, appearing like a bolt of lightning.

He intercepted Sakura, pulling her away from my attack.

I landed on the ground. My gaze fell on Kakashi, who was approaching at a terrifying speed.

"Shidori"

His attack rushed towards me. Thanks to my Sharingan, I barely dodged it, but his blade sliced through a part of my cloak. I leaped back, creating distance, my scythe always at the ready.

I scrutinized the ninjas who encircled me again, their coordination improving with every second.

"This is your last chance," I said, my voice rumbling. "Where is Fu, the jinchūriki of the Seven-Tailed Demon-"

Sakura, breathless,

— "What is he talking about? This idiot."

She rushed towards me, thinking to surprise me.

"You."

I reached out, invoking my chains once more. They wrapped around her, lifting her off the ground.

But Lee struck me in the stomach, then followed up with a blow to the chest, sending me flying. Before I hit the ground, another attack came:

*"Shikamaru, now!"* Kakashi shouted.

Shikamaru's shadows seized my movements. An immense fireball erupted from Kakashi's side, while Asuma, strengthening his chakra blades, lunged for the final assault.

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes for a fraction of a second.

"Is that all you have?"

I expelled a wave of Natural chakra, breaking all the attacks simultaneously. The impact sent the surrounding ninjas flying.

I slowly rose, my gaze shining with a mix of contempt and amusement.
