35 The Land of Snow Part 3

A hail of ice Jutsus rained down on Kibo; there were ice constructs in the forms of dragons, fists, weapons, and many other powerful Kage Level attacks assaulting him. However in the end he pushed through them without being inflicted by mortal wounds. Again his gate of healing recovered the damage, as he stared down the Yukikage she jumped back onto a large rock protruding from the snow, which thanks to her frosty array of Jutsu had once again covered the battlefield.

"I have to say, you really are strange. I commend you for lasting this long, but my name as a Kage would be sullied if I didn't at least injure you heavily." She began making hand signs at a rapid pace, more than thirty different Jutsus were cast at once, a large Snow and Ice body formed in the shape of a Complete Hydra, the nine heads swayed back and forth as if they were alive.

"This is my 2nd strongest Jutsu; I hope you can survive kid." As she made her final hand signs she shouted the name of the Jutsu, "Absolute Zero Storm!" the Hydra roared as it spewed a bright white blue beam from their nine months that instantly put Kibo in a whiteout storm. A bone cold blizzard engulfed the surroundings, as the temperature of the surroundings rapidly dropped Kibo started to feel the danger. His body was engulfed in a white ice shell, as he felt his core body heat plummet Kibo started absorbing so much energy that the every plant in a dozen miles started to wither. The soil become dry and even the air around him had lost some of its vitality.

Kibo was constantly floating between life and death as he suddenly started to feel a change in his physique, caught between the heat of the earth, and the cold of the Kage's Jutsu, the two energies began to meld together and temper his muscles and bones. Every time the cold invaded, it was replaced by hot scolding earth energy, over and over this repeated. Kibo thought he's body wouldn't last much longer; but he held on, he wouldn't miss the chance presented before him. He took the energy that was coursing through his body and used to charge at his 4th Gate.

The Gate of Opening was located in the brain, by releasing it he would improve his body's connection to his brain making the lag that normally exist between body and mind nonexistent. It would also open his third eye, giving him a powerful perception ability that was on pair with Karin's Mind's Eye of the Kagura. The ability would allow him to find and track an individual's Chakra over a vast distance that exceeds ten thousand kilometers. By further focusing his Chakra, he can extend this range to far greater distances.

This ability also gives him the capability to perceive fluctuations in a person's Chakra made when a person is lying. It can also see that if anyone including himself was trapped under a Gen-Jutsu's effects, also by focusing on a particular Chakra, he could perceive his target's movements and surrounding area with the greatest detail. These capabilities make both Karin and Kibo unparalleled when it comes to sensory abilities, far surpassing that of a Dō-Jutsu with comparable powers.

His body felt even stronger than before, like there was some change to his muscles and bone's constitutions. A new perk had appeared called breathing blood and bone; it stated that his body could now handle 10 times the normal amount of oxygen and that he could store this energy in his body's cells.

The last thing Kibo felt was a change in his eye's the 7th and 8th Corona had appeared around his two rings.

[7th Ring's Ability: Danger Sense: Host can now see Killing Intent as a tangible form, and Host sense are far more sensitive to life threatening situations.

[8th Ring's Ability: Future Sight: Allows host to see 3 seconds into the future of anything in his sight.]

Kibo's body looked chilled all over, every breath exuded boiling hot air form his stomach. The Yukikage was panting heavily, her Chakra felt exhausted and her body was tired. "You? How can you still be standing?" She said staring at Kibo, he smiled in response and said, "My turn!" Kibo felt his body shift to the Dragon Fist Stance naturally as all the power that had focused in his body as defensive energy flipped to offense.

A Chakra image of the Azure Dragon outlined his body and coiled around his arm, with a single swing of his arm he punched directly above the Yukikage's head, a burst of frighteningly powerful force shot out as the flying silhouette of Seiryu was launched from his fist and soared into the heavens. The gust carried up not only the Yukikage but half of the mountain side with it. The Yukikage activated her secret weapon; a pure white Chakra armor that was similar to Doto's in design appeared.

It didn't offer up much of a defense as Kibo had used a Tai-Jutsu, and it wasn't even the full brunt of the attack, only the shock wave of force that followed Dragon Fist. Her body flung into a nearby mountain side, and caused a crater to form around her, Setsuna coughed up a bit of blood before she passed out, and started plummeting towards the ground.

She fell into Kibo's arms, as he placed her on the ground and removed her armor with the system's storage; luckily she was wearing a skin tight jumper suit underneath it. After storing the Chakra armor, he tied her up with Star Chakra strings and fell down in the snow. "Man that was a tough one!" Kibo said joyfully as he received his reward.

He sat up and went over to wake the Yukikage when his hands brushed pass her hat, since his Tengan was still active, information pertaining to all 4 generations of the Yukikages entered his mind.

Meanwhile back with the rest of team 7 Naruto and Hinata had cashed after the princess, Doto had a wing attachment to his suit that allowed him to fly. While the rest of the team held off the enemy ninja, Naruto and Hinata were trailing out after her on foot, after a few minutes at top speed, they realized he was flying much faster than they could run, and weren't able to catch up. The film director suddenly appeared in a snowmobile-jeep, and told the two to jump on. Hinata and Naruto looked to each other and nodded as they jumped into the vehicle and resumed their chase.

That crazed director continued to film every shot of this since they this event started, they weren't going to let a single bit of this ratings gold slip through their fingers. Ahead of them Koyuki and Doto had reached their destination; they stood in a valley of snow and gargantuan glaciers, when the light gleamed off of them they would shine with a prism of colors.

"This is where I tracked your father's legacy down, and for 10 years your absence denied me my prize." He pulled Koyuki by her arm over to an altar attached to 9 flat, tower like structures with reflective surfaces. At the center of the altar was a hexagonal slot that perfectly fit the key Koyuki had been carrying for years. He placed the key in, and a bright blue white shined in throughout the snowflake grooves, just as Doto was reveling in his success Koyuki heard a voice that gave her hope, "Koyuki!" Naruto yelled as the vehicle drove through a pile of snow, "Hinata stay her and protect the camera crew, I'm going all out!" Naruto jumped of the Snowmobile-Jeep and started dashing towards Doto.

Releasing the gravity restraints from his suit, Naruto's body felt 30 times lighter, a line of snow and ice trailed out behind him as Doto quickly performed a Jutsu, "Black Dragon Blizzard!" A black snow covered dragon charged at Naruto tearing up the ground underneath it. Naruto punched out as the air pressure from his fist dismantled Doto's Jutsu. Naruto moved in for his first punch, and Doto put up an ice wall in response, but it was no use. The block of ice shattered sending fragments smashing into Doto, and sending him rolling backwards.

Doto stabilized himself and while still being dragged back he placed his knee and hand on to the ground and came to a halt, to see Naruto holding Koyuki. He disappeared and reappeared on top of a nearby glacier top, placing Koyuki down he smiled and said, "Chill out, I got this." As he jumped back into battle Koyuki said with a blank look "Naruto . . . That was a bad pun!"

Naruto stood in front of Doto and gave a look that could chill souls, "I think it's time to put an end to your crazed atrocities!" Naruto flickered in and jumped back just as he was about to punch him, when hundreds of Ice spikes rose out of the ground following after Naruto's movements. "Twin Black Dragon Blizzard!" Doto yelled as two black snow flood dragons charged out towards Naruto.

Naruto suddenly smirked before he said, "You don't get do you Doto, real hero's always come through in the end." Naruto made 5 shadow clones, then he had three of those clones launched himself and the two remaining clones straight towards Doto, as the Black Snow Dragons missed the three charging him and landing on the clones, a powerful gust gathered at the remaining Naruto's feet "Triple Snow Dragon God Kick!" Naruto altered the name of Chen Roshi's Leaf Dragon God Kick, because there was a lack of leaves to call it such. The snowflakes gathered along the wind shaped dragon as the three clones' kicks merged into one giant attack. A rainbow light reflected of the mirrors and saturated Naruto's attack, suddenly the massive snow wind dragon became charged with the prismatic Chakra as it struck Doto in the chest. He felt his bones, lungs and organs rupturing all at once, his body crumbled back into the air, and slammed onto the generator's surface.

As this happened a rainbow colored energy swept across the Land of Snow turning it into a lush green paradise, Koyuki was sitting in the grass blown away by what had just occurred, when a voice that echoed throughout the valley made her shake, "Believe in the future and spring will always come." a holographic image appeared in the center of device. It showed a younger Koyuki with pig tails holding up her hair, when she suddenly heard her long since passed father's voice again, "Koyuki, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Koyuki started to cry as her recorded image played out a scene from her childhood "I want to be a princess!"

Her father's laughter could be heard as he continued his talk "What sort of princess do you want to be?"

The past version of Koyuki started to wave her arms back and forward as she thought of her answer "Hmm! Let's see, one who's strong and whose kind, and most of one who always fights for justice!" Koyuki's father started laughing as he replied to his daughter's future desires, "Well that's some dream you got there."

"Dad. Did I actually say those things?" Koyuki tears refused to stop."Well so long as you believe in that dream and never give up, one day you'll be that princess." Sōsetsu Kazahana came into the recording he had long black hair with an m shaped receding hairline, and large black eyes. He had a wide jaw line like his brother, and a much smaller nose. He wore a pair of circular-framed glasses and a Daimyō's uniform. He stood behind his daughter putting on the key to this generator around her neck while saying "You can see it can't you? There's that beautiful princess standing right here in front of you."

As the little girl stared into the device that was recording her image, she looked up to her father and said, "Um well, there's one more thing I wanna be!" Sōsetsu looked down and asked, "Ohh! What is it?" The girl smiled and said, "An actress!" The two started laughing as did the real Koyuki, the tears began to fade as she looked back to see Naruto standing next Hinata, waving at her.

Naruto smiled and said, "Oh yeah, now that's a happy ending."

Kakashi and the rest of team 7; minus Kibo appeared. Naruto quickly filled them in on what happened, while Kakashi checked Doto's vitals to make sure he was dead before saying "Come one let's go help Kibo now, he chose to hold off Yukikage by himself" With that said they left to assist Kibo in his endeavor; except when they got there they saw a very frightened Yukikage. She was shaking as if she saw something so terrifying that carved the fear into her very bones.
