Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, analyzing every move of this masked man.

"He masters the Rasengan? How is that possible?" he asked, while readjusting his headband to expose his Sharingan.

Asuma leaped forward, his chakra blades erupting from his fists.

He aimed for Menma's throat, but he deftly evaded, spinning around to avoid the attack. Without missing a beat, Asuma followed up with a side kick, but Menma blocked it with one hand, his monstrous strength forcing Asuma to retreat.

Kakashi took advantage of the opening to unleash a **Raikiri**. The light of electricity illuminated the battlefield as he charged towards Menma at blinding speed.

"I've got you!"

Menma, with icy calm, spun his scythe, parrying the **Raikiri** with surgical precision. A shockwave erupted, sending dust and debris flying all around.

"You're fast, Kakashi. But not fast enough."

Menma pushed Kakashi away with a violent kick, sending him crashing into a ruined wall.

Asuma seized the opportunity to strike again.

He concentrated his chakra in his blades, elongating them to try and pierce Menma's defense. Menma deftly evaded, his scythe spinning in a deadly arc.

Kakashi returned to the attack, his hands executing rapid mudras.

Menma struck the ground with devastating force, projecting shards of rock and breaking the earth's surface. Debris flew in all directions, stopping Kakashi's attack.

*Suiton: Water Wall!*

A massive wave surged, rushing towards Menma.

Menma grabbed a massive rock and threw it with superhuman strength.

"Shikamaru!" Kakashi cried.

Choji immediately interposed himself, using his Partial Decuplication to crush the projectile into a thousand pieces.

"You're numerous. I must remedy that."

Kakashi widened his eyes, realizing that his opponent had not yet shown most of his techniques. This showed that he was not in difficulty. He had also not tried to protect Kyubi, which meant that it was not his ace in the hole.

Would he perform an inverse summoning? Kakashi had no time to think.

"Attack now!" he shouted.

Too late.

Menma placed his hands together, his chakra swirling sinisterly around him.

*"Edo Tensei!"*

The ground trembled as a complex black seal appeared beneath his feet. Coffins suddenly erupted from the ground, their lids slowly opening with a sinister creak.

"No... Not this!" Kurenai murmured, horrified.

Familiar silhouettes emerged from the coffins. Their glowing eyes revealed that they were under Menma's absolute control. Roshi, Jiraiya, and Onoki.

"Don't worry, I'm only using the corpses I've killed."

The sky of Kumogakure was dark, veiled by thick clouds foretelling an imminent storm. Yet, above the rugged mountains surrounding the Hidden Cloud Village, a strange silhouette silently hovered. A gigantic paper bird, its wings spread in perfect symmetry, floated majestically in the air.

On its back stood two distinct figures.

The first, Konan, wore a long black cloak adorned with the red clouds emblematic of the Akatsuki. Her blue hair framed her impassive face, and a paper flower was carefully placed behind her left ear. Her gaze was icy, but her eyes betrayed a deep determination.

Beside her stood Jura, the man who had replaced Kisame Hoshigaki in the Akatsuki. Jura wore a complex mask, entirely black with red lines engraved that pulsed softly as if they were breathing. His eyes, a brilliant red, shone with an unsettling intensity. It was not the Sharingan but a unique dojutsu unknown to most. Yet, if Shikai had been present, he would have immediately recognized this creation: an ultimate combination of genetics and technology. Jura possessed a body forged with the genes of Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha, enhanced by the toad sage mode chakra and the eyes of Ranmaru, a monstrous fusion of speed, perception, and brute strength.

Jura broke the silence, his tone authoritative and cutting.

"Have you considered the Master's proposal, Konan?"

Konan turned her head slightly, her voice low.

"Never. I will not betray Nagato."

Jura slightly narrowed his eyes, but maintained his calm.

— "According to the Master's predictions..."

Konan cut him off brusquely.

"I don't care! Either you return to him, or you help me capture the Hachibi."

An imperceptible smile formed on Jura's lips.

— "This is part of the Master's plan. Of course, I'll help you."

Konan nodded, satisfied.

"Well, then..."

Before Konan could finish her sentence, distant explosions echoed, tearing through the relative calm. Jura was no longer by her side. He had already disappeared, leaving behind only residual images of his moving body.

"This is incredible..." Konan murmured, observing the explosions in the distance.

Konan urged her paper bird to accelerate, flying towards the explosions. Her mind was in turmoil. She knew Jura was powerful, but this display of efficiency and speed surpassed anything she could have imagined.

"If Jura is this strong, what is the total power of Kurayami? The organization that helped them in the shadows And especially, who is KageYami, their supreme leader who wanted to recruit her?"
