The gray haired man took a couple of steps back as he was unable to shake off his astonishment. Right in front of him, the spectral ribcage started to widened and take a more humanoid look as bones for the shoulders and the beginning of the neck started to manifest.

Realization of what was going on dawned on the blond and all of the sudden the young man felt his energy returning, making him feel elated and strong. "This is..." He started as he looked down at his right hand.

As if reacting to blonde's actions, more bones started to appear on the construct's right side, forming its gigantic right arm and hand.

Naruto glared at Kabuto with a look full of determination, closing his fist as the manifestation over him copied his action. "Susanoo!" The Sharingan users exclaimed as he punched forward, willing the monstrous apparition to do the same.

The medic nin was still stunned as the colossal fist came crashing down on him.

The sickening impact echoed throughout the valley as Kabuto's was thrown back to the wall at the edge like a ragdoll. "Gyaargh...!" The gray haired man screamed in pain. At least a couple of bones on his right arm were broken, but, to their credit, the genetically-spliced Kaguya bones on his left side managed to hold on as the Sound nin pushed himself to stand back up.

"This is the third techniques granted by the Mangekyou Sharingan." Naruto started to explain as he took a couple of steps forward, the specter form over him following along. "The God of Storms, Susanoo!" The blond exclaimed, his voice filled with newfound energy and confidence. The moment Susanoo activated, the genin immediately felt a sudden rush of chakra back into his system. "Now, Kabuto... For betraying the Leaf, for hurting Sasuke... I'm going to kill you!" The young man shouted before charging off.

Kabuto only had a second to widen his eyes before he was forced to jump away as a large, blue spectral fist came crashing down on where he had been standing.

Naruto willed Susanno to swing its gigantic arm before the Yakushi was out of range.

All that the gray haired nin could do to defend himself was to produce another large bone from his left arm and bring it up to absorb some of the incoming attack. The bone club only managed to hold off the avatar's hand for a couple of seconds before it snapped in two and Kabuto was send flying high into the air by another devastating blow.

Hitting the ground awkwardly, Kabuto spat out blood as he pushed his body off the ground. "Ok... I thought that Orochimaru-sama only wanted... A Sharingan to copy jutsus... But... But I can see how those things... Could come in handy..." The young man struggled to say as he got back on his feet and fixed his glasses.

"Make all the jokes you want... I'm not one to judge how people prefer to spent their last moments." Naruto commented as he turned to face his opponent, all the while flexing his right hand as Susanoo mimicked his actions.

Sending chakra to his hands, Kabuto snapped back into place some of his bones that had gotten dislocated during the last attack. "I came here expecting to clean up a mess and end up caught right in the thick of it." The medic nin said as he dusted his already torn clothes. "You never cease to amaze me... Naruto-kun!" He added before suddenly slamming his left hand into the ground.

Immediately, a torrent of large bones sprouted all around the blond.

Naruto swung his right arm across his shoulder, willing the chakra manifestation over him into a defensive stance. The flurry of bones either snapped or bounced off the protective construct around the Jinchuuriki, and then the headless avatar swung its colossal arm again, clearing away the rest of the bones.

Taking advantage of the spiky haired boy's distraction, Kabuto shorten the distance between himself and the younger shinobi. As his opponent looked up, the gray haired man hurled a pair of kunai.

          

The blades simply bounced off Susanoo's bones without any visible harm. Shrugging the attack off, the Sharingan user willed his construct to reach out to grab the medic nin.

Immediately, the Sound ninja started to jump back out of the avatar's reach, throwing a couple of kunai more at the incoming limb as he did so.

"Are you out of ideas already?" Naruto mocked as he charged forward, readying another powerful strike to finally put an end to the battle.

Despite the large mass of chakra that was about to fall over him, Kabuto stood his ground, focusing most of his attention in try to hid the smirk that was fighting to form in his face. Once the young genin was within range, the medic threw three kunai at him. Just like the other blades, the metal tools simply bounce off Susanoo's ribcage as if they were nothing.

Unaware, Naruto willed the spectral hand forward. "Gaaargh!" The Jinchuuriki let out a powerful roar as the giant closed in on the traitor.

Suddenly, less than a foot short of Kabuto, Susanoo's fist came to an abrupt halt.

The Leaf nin's eyes widened in shock. "What...?!" He exclaimed as he tried to will the charka construct to move. Susanoo seemed to respond to Sharingan user's commands, or at least it tried to, but there was something that was obstructing it, blocking all of its moves.

"This is something I've been developing since my medical student days." The Oto nin suddenly commented as he reached for something to the side of the giant chakra arm. "Honnui Fuin." He added before seemingly flicking the empty air.

Instantly, hundreds of threads became visible around the blond and his chakra avatar as they vibrated from the flick. The fine strands originated from the kunai that the he medic nin had been throwing and encased Susanoo, preventing the spiky haired boy from willing it to move. "What the hell is going on...?" Naruto growled through grinning teeth. The boy had just seen Susanoo's strength, so he could not begin to comprehend how a couple of threads could stop it.

As if sensing what was on the blonde's mind, Kabuto smiled. "You can pull against them all you want, Naruto-kun, but I doubt that even your little guardian here will be able to break this threads." He informed. "I have spent years preparing them for an... Extreme event. Not only did the kunai attach themselves to the ground where they land with a special seal, the threads themselves have been reinforced to be as tough as steel, and prepare so that they attach themselves to any chakra source." Careful not to touch the cables and be caught in his own trap, the gray haired nin put his hand on Susanoo's still outstretched fist. "And you have to admit that this is a pretty big target."

Naruto continue to grit his teeth. He briefly considered canceling Susanoo, but thought better of it since not only would the threads simply incase him directly instead, but he also had no clue if he could call forth the dojutsu again. The blond was left with no option but to try to push against Kabuto's trap and try to break free.

A small chuckle escaped the Yakushi as he watched his opponent's helpless attempts to free himself. "It's useless, Naruto-kun." He commented while directing his transformed arm at the young genin, a sharp bone poke out of his palm. "You lost." Kabuto said. Looking at the Leaf nin right in the eye, the young man prepared to shoot a bone stake and finally put an end to his spiky haired headache.

However, before the projectile could be launched, Naruto let out a primal roar and the chakra around Susanoo suddenly spiked. Outside of the trap and free from the threads, Susanoo's left arm materialized.

Kabuto did not even have time to reposition his modified arm in defense before the newly created colossal fist was swung in his direction.

With a deafening crash, Susanoo's fist made impact with its target, raising a large cloud of dust and sending Kabuto flying back as if he were a rag doll. The force of the punch was so strong that medic nin's body skipped on the ground several times before finally hitting the far-off edge of the valley.

im going to be honest, i dislike twists where suddenly new people pop up, that also have a new ability, it takes away my fun in reading 😕
