"So you say, but look at you!" Orochimaru growled, actually losing his temper, like a massive baby, "Letting young Daiki-kun fight for you, and hiding that battle gear under your robes. So paranoid these days aren't we sensei? You feared me so much you were always ready to face me!"
"For you?" Hiruzen actually chuckled, "You foolish failure of a student. I always have these on hand, because I have a new student I am quite enjoying teaching, who just so loves to bother me to spar whenever he gets the chance." he told him, casually strolling over to place his hand on Daiki's shoulder proudly, as if they weren't in the middle of a life or death battle.
Daiki smirked at the snake man cockily.
"….You….!" Orochimaru ground his teeth, eyes darting between Daiki and the old man, "It wasn't enough you passed me by for that fool Namikaze, but now this?"
"Orochimaru, I told you before. You do not have the qualities of a Hokage," Hiruzen hammered the nail in, "Minato-kun did, and so does Daiki-kun.That is why just like Minato, I have chosen him to succeed me as Hokage. You could not hope to understand their true strength."
Orochimaru took a deep shuddering breath, before relaxing and smirking smugly, "Well, it's funny you should talk so much about precious students sensei." he said, making a familiar hand seal.
In a puff of smoke, a second Orochimaru formed beside him, "Shin-kun, I think now with my clone in place of Jirobu." the snake man said.
'What?' Daiki's head whipped around to look at the floored baldy he'd hit point blank with his jutsu.The bald man, Shin sat up with a huff from where he'd been on his back wiping blood from his lips, and scowling, "Do not be so familiar with me, Orochimaru, I've told you before." he growled, but as he said that, the tomoe in the sharingan, all five of them rapidly rotated, before forming into a black sphere with three jagged points.
"Mangekyou!?" Daiki's eyes widened in disbelief-
And then, the air itself began to warp and he felt a tug around his body, "I really must thank you Daiki-kun for setting up this barrier, impressive as it is, it made this all the easier!" Orochimaru laughed.
And suddenly, a sensation he was well familiar with rushed over his body, and he found himself some place else. Standing in the middle of an enormous bone white mountain range, a sky of complete darkness above him.
'A personal dimension!?' Daiki thought in disbelief.
'Daiki, it's that Shin guy, his Mangekyou ability must be a space time ninjutsu!' Isobu warned.
"Four Violet Flame Formation!"
At the cry of the four voices at once, Daiki jumped up on instinct to escape, leaping high and landing sideways on one of the mountains. Only, as he looked around, he was not the target.
The clone of Orochimaru, alongside the remaining three members of the Sound Four, created a massive purple barrier around the old man Hokage!
It was then Daiki realised, that the real Orochimaru, wasn't far from the barrier around the old man, alongside all of his allies.
And Daiki was over a hundred feet away.
It was only him who'd been transported further away from the rest. How!? What the hell was that?
He'd caught a brief glimpse of that space time ninjutsu, and it swirled like Kamui. And…a dimension just like Kamui.
But Kamui couldn't target like that one just had, or shift people around so much, what hell was that?
"Not so cocky now, are we Daiki-kun?" the real Orochimaru called over to him with a chuckle, "You see Shin-kun has a very special ability. His eyes grant him a Space-Time ninjutsu in the form of a barrier he can shape as he pleases, in whatever shape he desires. invisible to the naked eye and transport anything within it!"
…So that was how.
"Good to know," Daiki crossed his arms, "But, do you really think you've won just because you've sealed off the old man from fighting? For now, he'll get out of there eventually. Not that he needs to, I can deal with you all on my own."
"Such confidence," Orochimaru clapped, "As expected of the Godaime Hokage. Kimimaro-kun is stronger than Kakashi you know? And Guren, Shin and Fukai are all S-rank ninja just like myself, Kage-level you could say. And yet, you are so sure of yourself."
"Why wouldn;t I be?" Daiki laughed, "Just a bunch of rejects, and a dead Jinchuuriki who isn't even close to his true strength. I'm well aware of the drawbacks of Edo Tensei."
"Yes, I expected as much, but…about this," Orochimaru turned to Fukai and clicked his fingers, "You see, Fukai-kun here is a very special experiment of mine. In an attempt to clone a bijuu, and while he is at best half as strong as he was alive, and lacks the Hachibi…I filled that gap nicely, even more so, for you see Daiki-kun, those summoned by Edo-Tensei have infinitely regenerating chakra."
As he finished, Fukai stepped forward, and a truly absurd wave of chakra exploded from his body, and in a flash, he was covered entirely in a shifting thick dense full body cloak chakra, eight tails shifting behind him as he transformed into a miniature Hachibi, two horns on his head, one crimson bloody red, the other a pulsing green, and stared at him with two massive bright hollow white eyes.
And a massive armoured bone skull over his shoulder.
'I knew it.' Daiki resisted the urge to grimace.
"It takes a long time to clone a bijuu's full power Daiki-kun, I only managed enough for this, but…then I had a thought," Orochimaru crossed his arms smugly, "Chakra is the answer, more and more chakra. Where could I obtain more chakra to speed it up. And then it clicked for me, I just needed a master of the Hachibi's chakra who could expel it in massive amounts, and recharge more and more with the Edo Tensei, and build rapidly towards the full power of the Hachibi, and thought, well, I was going to destroy the Leaf Village anyway, this would be a perfect time to try it out."
'Daiki….' Isobu said his name, and nothing else.
'I know.' he sighed.
He'd really let his arrogance of his knowledge get the better of him. He'd not even considered Orochimaru would change his plans.
At least…not like this. How could he, the man had never even thought of such a plan before at all in the other timeline.
He had zero knowledge about the bald motherfucker as well, who the hell was he even? Where the hell did he come from?
"Now then, are you still going to act so confident Daiki-kun?" Orochimaru spread his arms wide, "You cannot win Daiki-kun. You are strong, I do admit, and so skilled for your age. If you were to reach your prime, I shudder to think of what a monster you would become. But, unfortunately for you, that will not happen. You are trapped here with us, and there is no escape."
Daiki was silent for a moment-
Before he raised a brow, "Escape?" he scoffed, cutting the chakra flow keeping him stuck to the mountain and dropping to the ground from a hundred feet up, his feet not making a sound as he escaped and began walking towards them.
Orochimaru actually blinked, and stepped back, looking confused. "I'm not stuck in here with you," Daiki bared his teeth and held his hand out to the side, and clenched his fist. And as he did, bubbling red chakra shimmered into existence around him, forming a cloak of chakra with three huge shrimp like tails waving behind him, "You're stuck in here with me!"
