"Sukaina, surrender!"
Shaking my head ever so slightly, I opened my eyes, and held out my hand.
"Sukaina, put down…"
Snap.
With a simple snap of my fingers, Shisui's voice disappeared, and the world around me shattered apart, along with the demons, bringing me back to the real world.
As I did, I saw Minato appear right in front of me, his kunai going for my throat. Seems like t=my perception of time had been altered in that illusion huh…
I did not even move, but instead looked at him in the eye as he moved at his top speed. He himself must have felt the absolute danger he was in, as he hurriedly teleported away, not even finishing his attack.
Snap.
With another snap of my fingers, the surrounding space was frozen. Minato's face turned strange as his trusty Flying Thunder God Technique instantly became inactive.
Turning my head towards Shisui and Itachi, I noticed Shisui was holding his head, as if experiencing a headache.
Taking a step this time, I arrived in front of him, moving my palm towards his chest. However, as I was about to blast him off, the older Uchiha of the Akatsuki jumped right in front of me. I could stop my hit, but I didn't have a reason to, and instead drastically increased the strength behind my palm.
His whole chest burst apart, barely leaving his spine standing. And it was only for a second as he fell to the ground, having died instantly. His lungs, heart, liver and pretty much all of his vital organs had been blasted off in an instant.
With one less opponent, it had become obvious to all those here that things had turned serious. However, as I believed my victory to have already come, I suddenly felt the surrounding space free up once again.
Looking up with a frown, completely ignoring the two in front of me, I spotted yellow chains spreading through the sky, forming a globe around us.
And to my surprise, those very chains were restraining my Authority. Interesting.
Tracing them back to their origin, I spotted Kushina, while I felt something burn in my back.
Turning around, I saw Itachi's right eye bleeding, and black flames into my back. Amazingly enough, they did burn a little.
A little.
Literally shrugging off the flames that fell to the ground, I tapped the empty space between myself and the two of them with two fingers.
The water surrounding us, be it on the ground, the rain, or the very molecules in the air, gathered to form a vortex of exceptional strength that instantly swallowed the two of them.
The two of them were dangers because of their eyes, but without them, they were High-Jonin at best. It was excellent, for their age, but they still had to grow if they wanted to face me in this form.
With Itachi and Shisui out of the picture, I looked back towards the rest, and saw that they had tensed up.
Orochimaru, who had made himself scarce since the beginning of the fight, grinned and said, "You saved me quite the hassle gathering all this water. Why don't you help test this jutsu of mine?"
He rapidly weaved through handsigns, and feeling a little curious, I watched.
With his hand speed, Orochimaru finished with the hand signs in less than a couple of seconds, and as he did, his relatively big chakra erupted out to influence the surrounding water.
A large colossus of water started manifesting from the already present water. It looked like a slimmer version of the wooden giant Hashirama could create in the anime, although it was a little smaller too.
However, it did have two giant water dragons around its shoulders, making it look intimidating.

This was a derivation of what I called the Water Colossus, an S Rank Jutsu. It was slightly changed through natural manipulation, which showed Orochimaru's exceptional control.
Unfortunately for him, using water based attacks against me was… futile.
With a thought, the giant made of water did not even get to make a single step when it suddenly exploded. The water that was projected out did not disappear, but instead moved along with the remaining water, using nearly all of it to form ten Water Colossus.
Not only were there ten of them, they also were bulkier, and had three water dragons around their bodies. I like outdoing my enemies.
Orochimaru's, along everyone's faces had turned ashen. They were finally starting to understand the gap in power between us. Good.
"Surrender. You don't stand a chance."
I threw them an olive branch, because I didn't want to do them any harm. Most of them were more than friends. I could live with killing Orochimaru any day, a part of me would even be glad. Jiraya, Tsunade, and Fugaku, I would be reluctant to harm, because of what it would do to some of my other best friends, but I could still do it.
But Minato, Kushina and Mikoto… I didn't want to do them any harm. All I wanted now was to send them away, as I had done with Shisui and Itachi, but that wasn't possible if they didn't surrender.
I was strong, much stronger than them, but they had reached a level where it would be hard to force them to surrender when they worked together.
Minato grabbed a kunai in each hand, and said with a grin, "You have gone further than I ever thought… but you'd do best not to underestimate us!"
He disappeared, and appeared in front of me. At the same time, Kushina appeared right behind me. He had actually managed to teleport them both at the same time, in different locations. That was impressive.
Not enough though.
Using my right leg, I kicked towards his head, forcing him to dodge and delay his attack. At the same time, I rotated to punch behind myself, and this time, I used all of my strength.
Kushina, who had earlier been matching me, was sent flying backwards, spat out a mouthful of blood, and her chakra claw was broken. From a single punch.
Kyuubi's vitality was something though, I'm sure she'll survive this.
In the next instant, Minato reached my midsection, and stabbed one of his kunais towards my kidneys, while the other went for my left heel, aiming to sever the tendon.
Since I had high kicked with my right leg, I only had my left leg to support myself on the ground, but since I didn't need the ground to support myself, this was hardly a problem.
Elevating myself slightly off the ground, I dodged the two slashes.
However, as I thought Minato's attack was over, he suddenly spun on himself, his kunais disappearing as he used his hands to support himself and kick towards my neck.
He caught me somewhat by surprise, and I couldn't exactly dodge his attack. So I instead opted for parrying.
But right as I did, I felt something. It wasn't exactly through any of my usual senses, but I could feel that in my back, Kushina had both of Minato's kunais grabbed through her chakra, and she was stabbing them in my back.
Using one arm, I blocked Minato's incoming kick, and turned around to stop the two kunais.
But right as I did, and I was about to grab the kunais, Minato appeared in their stead, kicking my hand away, while the two kunais pierced into my other hand.
The two abruptly disappeared, reappearing next to the rest of the ground, while I looked at my hands with surprise.
Blinking, I wondered with a mutter, "How did he move so quick…"
Narrowing my eyes at the Uchiha couple, I saw that both of them had their Mangekyo out, and had their eyes bleeding. Looks like I found my suspects.
