Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Pakura began cautiously. She formed quick hand seals, and incandescent spheres appeared around her. With a fluid movement of her arms, she projected them towards Orochimaru. The spheres of intense heat created explosions as they hit the ground, sending shards of scorched earth in all directions.

Orochimaru dodged with disconcerting ease, his body undulating like a serpent. "Lack of precision. Try again."

Pakura intensified her attacks, using more complex combinations of Shakuton. The temperatures rose rapidly, making the air almost unbearable. Orochimaru, however, seemed immune to the heat, moving with speed and agility that bordered on the supernatural.

"Now, the Bakuton," he suggested, his tone remaining calm.

An orange glow erupted around her hands, and she concentrated her chakra to create an explosive charge. She struck the ground, causing a detonation that shook the entire room. Orochimaru took a slight step back, assessing the power of her attack.

Pakura frowned, her concentration intense. She formed more complex hand seals, calling upon both the Shakuton and the Taiton. A massive wave of heat and flames surged towards Orochimaru. This time, he barely managed to dodge, his smile widening.

Orochimaru decided to up the ante. He summoned giant snakes, which attacked Pakura from all sides. She reacted swiftly, using her agility and Shakuton attacks to neutralize them, turning them into mummified husks. But Orochimaru wasn't finished yet. He drew a long sword from his mouth, wielding it with deadly precision.

Pakura dodged the sword attacks, countering with swift and accurate strikes.

Orochimaru, however, seemed to be toying with her. Every time she thought she had found an opening, he surprised her with a new technique. At one point, poisoned bones erupted from his arm, forcing Pakura to retreat hastily.

Pakura, panting, refused to give up. She concentrated her chakra, combining the Shakuton, Taiton, and even the Bakuton this time. A massive explosion rocked the terrain, creating a crater where Orochimaru had been standing.

But when she looked up, he was already behind her, and he delivered a powerful kick to her face.

"Not bad. But it's time to step it up. Get ready."

...

On the ravaged terrain of Iwagakure, Shikai observed the ruins of a once-thriving village. The winds whistled between the destroyed buildings, carrying with them the scent of ashes and death. The air seemed weighted with an invisible burden, as if the past events had imprinted every grain of dust. Shikai narrowed his eyes, analyzing his surroundings.

"Naruto, you've gone too far..." he murmured to himself.

He couldn't help but ponder what had transformed such an idealistic and naive ninja into a force of destruction. Of course, it was all part of the plan: molding Naruto into a true warrior, focusing on power rather than the hokage's ideals or a relationship with Sakura. And as a ninja, experiencing war and killing was necessary for the future. Such experiences made one more decisive and less hesitant. But to exterminate an entire village, even innocent lives? It didn't align with his true nature.

"Karin, you must have played a role in all this..." Shikai thought, suspecting that his former ally had manipulated Naruto with a subtle and insidious genjutsu.

But he shrugged, brushing away his thoughts with a mental wave. "What's done is done."

He formed a series of complex hand seals. The ground around him trembled slightly as a massive dome of chakra took shape, enveloping an area of one square kilometer. The atmosphere immediately changed, becoming oppressive.

Shikai opened a portal with precision. Through it, an immense beast appeared briefly, its massive silhouette shrouded in shadow. The creature opened its gaping maw and, in a sinister rumble, regurgitated a body. A familiar figure collapsed to the ground: Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kaguya was restrained by multiple shimmering chains, adorned with complex seals that glowed faintly, emitting a steady hum. For a few seconds, she remained motionless, her gaze vacant and distant, as if she were numb. Then, the chains began to crack slowly, releasing a dark glow.

Shikai nodded, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Well, well. Even after being sealed, you haven't lost your luster."

Kaguya lifted her head, her piercing gaze shining with anger. But something about her seemed different. The immense chakra she emanated had stabilized, less frenzied, more controlled. She appeared capable of reflection, less like the frenzied being she had been after her resurrection, which was exactly what Shikai had planned.

"Insolent vermin!" she spat, her tone filled with contempt.

Shikai chuckled softly, crossing his arms casually.

"It seems you're feeling better. For a moment, one might have thought an Otsutsuki master was speaking to their slave."

Kaguya, furious, suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of him, launching a swift and precise strike. Shikai pivoted to his left, dodging the attack with disconcerting fluidity.

"What...?" she murmured, her gaze fixing on him with suspicion.

"You're emitting a... strange chakra. Who are you, really?"

Shikai tilted his head slightly, his smile widening.

"Don't stop now, Kaguya. Keep attacking, or I'll reduce you to slavery, just like the pathetic traitor you are."

Kaguya's eyes widened at his words. A glimmer of understanding crossed her gaze, followed by a fierce hatred.

"You... You're an Otsutsuki?!

"Bravo. Quite perceptive."

She took a slight step back, her body trembling with contained rage.

"If you're an Otsutsuki, I have no choice... I must kill you."

Shikai burst into laughter, his amusement genuine.

"Prove to me that you're more useful as a warrior slave than a mere sex toy."

Kaguya, furious, clenched her fists, releasing a wave of chakra so dense that it made the air vibrate around her.

"Insolent... I'll tear you apart!"

'It seems I'll have to use my stigmas.'
