(PROFESSOE UZUMAKI) NARU-CHAN VS LEVI-CHAN

A large, golden hand slammed down upon Leviathan several miles off the coast of Brockton Bay, driving the Endbringer beneath the surface as an eruption of seawater burst skyward. Torrents answered at once as Leviathan drew the surrounding ocean to its aid, twisting through the current while the water churned into a violent whirlpool meant to tear away Naruto’s grip. The golden fingers only tightened, crushing deeper into scaled flesh until the pressure forced the Endbringer back into the seabed.

His other leg swept forward in one seamless motion, and the kick crashed into Leviathan’s side.

The impact blasted the sea apart. 

Water and shattered stone erupted skyward while the ocean floor split beneath them, sending jagged slabs of rock tumbling further into the darkness. The kick hurled Leviathan across the sea like a missile, skipping once across the water before disappearing beyond the horizon in a trail of shattered waves.

Naruto was already gone, the golden avatar crossing the distance in a blur that left the ocean boiling beneath its feet. Leviathan burst back through the surface only to meet a downward chop that folded it into the seabed, collapsing the ground beneath the impact and throwing another column of water hundreds of metres into the air.

The Endbringer barely broke the surface before another fist crashed down, driving it back into the fractured seabed. A second followed before the first impact had finished rippling through the earth, then a third, each blow widening the crater as layers of stone collapsed beneath the relentless barrage.

Water answered every strike. Towering, compressed torrents converged from every direction with enough force to scour cliffs bare, while Leviathan’s claws raked across Kurama’s chakra, its tail lashed upward hard enough to split the sea, and entire masses of water compressed into blades that crashed against Naruto from every angle. Every attack dissolved harmlessly against the golden cloak before bursting into sheets of steam.

Naruto kept punching.

Another blow buried Leviathan deeper into the earth, and the one after that drove it farther still, yet somewhere in the middle of the barrage Naruto noticed something that made him hesitate. The Endbringer had stopped trying to shield its entire body. Its arms absorbed the strikes. Its shoulders absorbed them too, and even parts of its face were left exposed whenever Naruto’s fists came down, while every movement it made turned its chest away from the attacks.

Another punch crashed into its torso. Leviathan twisted again. The blow shattered its shoulder instead of its chest, and the Endbringer accepted the damage without hesitation.

Whatever it was protecting mattered.

Leviathan had willingly traded its arms, its shoulders and even parts of its face to keep those strikes away from its chest. That was all Naruto needed to know.

The barrage ended as abruptly as it had begun. Before Leviathan could seize the opening, the golden avatar wrapped one enormous hand around the Endbringer’s body and hurled it skyward until it disappeared into the storm.

Naruto lifted Kurama’s head toward the sky, and the giant fox opened its jaws as white chakra gathered within its mouth. Black chakra followed a second later, the two streams folding together into a sphere darker than the storm clouds overhead. More chakra poured into it without pause, forcing the sphere to shrink again and again until its surface became perfectly smooth despite the immense power compressed within.

The weight of it alone forced the fractured ocean floor to sink even farther. Stone groaned beneath Naruto’s feet as cracks raced outward for kilometres through the ocean floor, while the surrounding sea pulled back from the dense mass of chakra gathering before Kurama’s jaws.

High above, Leviathan reached the peak of its ascent.

Naruto fired. 

The completed sphere vanished into Kurama’s mouth in a single motion, only for it to erupt skyward as a beam that condensed the Tailed Beast Bomb’s destructive power into a far narrower path. The storm split apart along its path as pure energy tore through the clouds toward the Endbringer.

Leviathan never had the chance to move. The beam struck the centre of its chest and bored through flesh, bone, and the dense mass it had sacrificed everything else to protect before bursting out through its back without losing momentum, continuing into the heavens until it disappeared from sight.

For the briefest instant, Leviathan remained suspended in the air. A hole large enough to see the grey sky through ran cleanly from its chest to its back.

Then gravity reclaimed it.

The Endbringer crashed into the ocean with a thunderous impact before sinking beneath the waves. Expanding rings rolled across the water until they became the only sign that one of the world’s greatest monsters had ever occupied that patch of sea.

Rain continued to fall.

Wind rolled across the empty sea.

Miles away, Brockton Bay still braced for an enemy that would never arrive.

Leviathan was dead.
