Reborn In The Narutoverse 27 Battle Of The Two Fearsome Swordsmen

Everyone but Naruto and Tazuna's jaw dropped. Naruto because he already knew, and Tazuna because he didn't know what it was. However Kibo interrupted, "Actually, that was just a small amount I'd saved up."

"What do you need so much money for?" Karin asked. Kibo pulled out his Katana and unsheathed it, "Chakra metal is insanely expensive." He handed the blade to Kakas.h.i.+, as the Jonin examined the blade he was shocked. "This is some good metal."

"I got that from saving up four years of allowance, it allowed me to make, 100 shuriken, 8 Kunai and my two blades Fujin and Raijin. The metal I purchased was left over ore that was used to make the sword Kubikiribōchō, that and a few pieces the sword that was broken off in the past."

Naruto was trying to say the name of the sword when Sasuke shook his head and asked, "What is the Kubikiribōchō?"

"One of the Mist's seven sword-men's legendary blades!" Kakas.h.i.+ said with surprise. When Kibo explained, "Kubikiribōchō, unlike the rest of the swords is almost entirely made of Chakra Ore, it is said that that single sword alone could net you enough cash to build your own dynasty. Of course no Ninja would dare sell such a powerful and useful object."

Everyone but Kakas.h.i.+ was stunned, "Does that mean you swords are. . ." Before Karin finished, Kibo smiled and said, "Well I don't think they could buy me an entire empire, it could buy me a ninja village or two."

Everyone was shocked, especially Tazuna as he thought "Little brat's loaded."

The group began to move through a thick fog a large half built bridged made of stone and metal appeared on the horizon, when Tazuna said, "Were almost there."

The ferryman turned to Tazuna and said, "We haven't been noticed yet, just to be on the safe side, let's take an inland water way through town. That way we can make landfall under the cover of the mangroves."

The long gondola entered through a wide stone waterway that lead into their village's territory, there were lush gra.s.s covered hillsides and trees spread about throughout the large village, and several houses were constructed along the water way, showing that this place truly was a port side town, the group got off at a nearby dock and began heading in towards Tazuna's home. As they walked Kibo had his Tengan fully active, waiting for Zabuza's attack. After walking for a few minutes all seemed well, when suddenly Kakas.h.i.+ shouted for everyone to get down.

Kibo however was ready for the attack, he reached out his hand and grabbed hold of the flying Executioner's Sword mid swing, when he did he felt 5 generations of master swordsmen skills surge into his brain. A tall and noticeably muscular man with light grayish skin, short spiky black hair, dark brown eyes, and thin eyebrows jumped down in front of them. The man was wearing bandage wrappings like a mask over the bottom half of his face, yet you could still tell he had a relatively narrow jaw line. On his chest was thick leather steel buckled belt, to which he normally would have his Kubikiribōchō attached to it. His pants were baggy with the striped pattern typical of Kirigakure style, along with camouflage mimetic wrist-warmers extending up to his elbows, and matching leg-warmers.

"Give that back kid! You're too young for a weapon of that caliber." A deep a gravel toned voice came out of the man, when Kakas.h.i.+ threw his hand up, "Don't listen to him, that's Zabuza one of Kiri's most infamous missing Nin. It's a miracle you managed to take his weapon; this already reduces his fighting ability by half."

"I see my reputation precedes me! Kakas.h.i.+ Hatake of the Sharingan!" Zabuza replied spreading his Killing intent all around. Kakas.h.i.+ sighed and as he was getting ready to fight, Kibo step out from the line holding the Sever-Sword in hand.

"Sorry Kakas.h.i.+, I know it's dangerous, but I can't stop my blood from boiling, all their hairs on my body are standing on end; I need to fight this guy to further my Ken-Jutsu." Kibo threw back Zabuza's sword and pulled out his own, "You wanna challenge me to a sword dual!?" Zabuza said with laughter that was laced with a hint of insanity.

He caught a hold of his weapon and continued "It's been a long time since anyone was crazy enough to challenge me to a duel. I like you kid! Come back in 10 years and I'll kill you then. . ." Kibo moved into his Batto-Jutsu stance, and like a wild animal's instincts Zabuza sensed death. Zabuza moved to block, placing his sword in front of himself like a s.h.i.+eld, he watched through the hole in his blade as he felt a ma.s.sive impact send him flying. "What the h.e.l.l just happened!?" Zabuza thought! "I couldn't see him draw his blade, no; wait did he even draw it at all?"

Zabuza landed on the lake in front of them, Kakas.h.i.+ was about to strike when Kibo shouted, "Stop! I'll take him on alone!" His wanting for a good fight wasn't the only incentive for this battle; a certain chime was also to play a part.

Zabuza lowered his weapon, the six and a half foot blade rested on the surface of the water. "I've never seen this style before, since when did Konoha have such a strange sword stance?"

"Listen well Zabuza, other than I, this style doesn't belong to anyone in this world. The name of this style that spells your doom is. .h.i.ten Mitsurugi-Ryū." Kibo said getting ready to attack.

"Kind of a flashy name isn't?" Zabuza said moving into position, "Sure is Oni of the Mist!" Kibo replied jumping at him, Zabuza may have mocked Kibo, but he didn't use Nin-Jutsu and answered sword with sword. Kibo sent out a G.o.d speed draw, but Zabuza was ready this time, he watched Kibo's body movements and predicted where the weapon would be ahead of time. With a sharp horizontal swing the two swords met as a clash of light signified the start of their battle.

Kibo began to attack repeatedly and Zabuza was meeting him head on, clash after clash sent pools of water towards the others. "This fight is. . " Naruto was shaking, "Yea, I know." Sasuke replied as he watched the fight with his Sharingan at full power. "I can't see his moves clearly!" Sasuke's eyes couldn't be wider when Kakas.h.i.+ said, "Me either!" That's when Sasuke noticed the Sharingan glowing in Kakas.h.i.+'s eye. "You. .but how?" Sasuke didn't know how to respond properly when he thought back to the first time he lost against Kibo.

"You rely on your eyes too much!" A younger Sasuke hit the ground holding a Kunai in his hand. "The Sharingan is my power, why shouldn't rely on it?" Kibo shook his head and replied "If a Do-Jutsu were all a s.h.i.+n.o.bi needed to be powerful, than the Uchiha would have conquered the world long ago. Your Sharingan is only one tool in your entire s.h.i.+n.o.bi a.r.s.enal; its okay to use it as a tool, but you must never let it use you. What would you do if you came across someone who was too fast, and powerful, for your eyes to perceive?"

"d.a.m.n!" Sasuke tightened his fist; a fierce desire to be stronger entered his heart. Naruto was cheering Kibo on as the battle intensified. A loud clang echoed reverberated throughout their bodies as the two swordsmen jumped back. A crack appeared along Kibo's sword, when Zabuza said, "I'll admit kid you got the skill, but it appears your sword isn't up to the task." Kibo smiled as he pumped Chakra into the blade, making it recover almost instantly. "You!? Why do I have the strangest sense of familiarity when I gaze at those swords?" Zabuza commented.

Kibo laughed as he said, "It should; after all they were cast from the same steel. In a way they could be considered parent and child." "Then I guess I'll be taking it off your corpse, wouldn't want them to be lonely." Zabuza placed the tip of his sword into the water and a large image of an Oni made out of a sinister Chakra appeared behind him; he held on to Kubikiribōchō with a single hand while completely removing his guard. This stance signified an all out attack, Kibo sheathed his sword and started gathering wind energy inside the scabbard, he looked to Zabuza and said, "Be careful not to lose your life, I'm still perfecting this one." A huge gust of wind razed all around the battlefield, a glow of Star Chakra gathered as he feet and by combining the Flicker Movement with wind element it had become a whole other technique. Kaze-Shu-Ho Jutsu (Wind Lord's Step) was the new B ranked creation of Kibo's, and when used with his new the Fujin's Nōtō-Jutsu (Wind G.o.d's Drawing Technique!) it showed an incredible display of power.

The two charged at each other, and swung their blades. An incredible shock wave appeared out from Kibo's sheath as he cut though Zabuza's sword sending the entire middle section flying. Before Zabuza could react; Kibo positioned his sword at his neck as Zabuza said "Take it, this life is yours. . ." Kibo claimed his system's reward, when a series of Senbon needles pierced Zabuza's neck sending his body flying onto the ground.

A long smooth black haired boy appeared besides the body, he was wearing a standard Kirigakure s.h.i.+n.o.bi outfit that had pinstriped Hakama shorts which stopped at his knees. Over this he wore a green haori with white tr.i.m.m.i.n.gs, and around his waist was a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around twice. He was wearing a white thin, Hunter-Nin mask, it had curved eye-holes and a red wavy design in place of the mouth, as well as the Kirigakure symbol etched in the top.

The boy bowed and said very politely "Thank you for your help. I hope you don't mind my interfering, but I wanted the satisfaction of killing Zabuza myself."

Kibo looked to him and smiled, "Not at all Haku, but I wasn't planning on killing him!" Haku realizing his cover had been blown somehow; made a mad dash and tried and pick up Zabuza. Kibo however made a set of restraint wires to tie up his fingers and feet. "Naruto could you come seal this guy's Chakra for me!?" Kibo shouted. Naruto nodded his head and ran over, when Kakas.h.i.+ saw Naruto performing Fūin-Jutsu he almost jumped out of his skin. "Naruto you know Fūin-Jutsus?" Naruto smiled and rubbed the back of his head while laughing "Of course, I am an Uzumaki after all!" Naruto said trying to sound mysterious.

"Alright it's done." Naruto finished as a seal surrounded Haku's Chakra center. "Let me go! If I don't help him he'll die!" Haku madly tried to struggle when Kibo took off his mask surprising everyone "Wow! She's pretty!" Everyone but Kibo, Kakas.h.i.+ and Sasuke said this.

"He's a boy!" Kibo said as Sasuke and Kakas.h.i.+ nodded their heads up and down to confirm his claim. Everyone's jaw dropped, and a bit of jealousy could be seen coming from the girls. Haku was still pleading to help Zabuza, when Kibo walked over to him and said, "His life belongs to me now, and if you belong to him, your life is mine as well."

Karin gripped Kibo's arm and said, "You can be his subordination but he's my man!" Kibo blushed and shook his head, "Naruto can you seal Zabuza's Chakra as well?" Naruto patted his bicep and shouted, "Leave it to me." When he moved over to place the seal, Naruto's eyes changed, his so called Kyuubigan activated by its self and he said, "This is weird!"
