Gold Saints vs Akatsuki – Part 2
But what if the characters from each group fought each other, knights versus ninjas, who would come out on top? Would the powerful golden armor withstand the insane attacks of jutsus? Or would the protection of the goddess of war subjugate the renegade ninjas?
Considering that Athena's warriors number 12 and the Akatsuki originally has 10 members, we added two special participants who are Orochimaru, who was once part of the group in the past, and Madara Uchiha, who can be considered the true mastermind behind the group.
Knights following the order of the zodiac signs, ninjas aligned in alphabetical order.
With the rules of combat established, let's move on to the second part of our epic Crossover and may the best fighter win (knight or ninja)!
Doko of Libra x Madara Uchiha
Doko of Libra, one of the only survivors of the last holy war against Hades' army. A legendary warrior with over two hundred years of knowledge, battle experience, and the only Athena knight authorized to carry weapons. A true master in every sense of the word.
Madara Uchiha was the most exceptional ninja of the most exceptional clan in the Hidden Leaf Village. A man whom even death could not defeat, the mastermind and manipulator of all events that led to the 4th Great Ninja War, an opponent feared and respected for generations.
In this fight involving the most experienced warriors on this list, strength plays a fundamental role in deciding this battle. Doko with the 12 weapons of the Libra armor brings together practically perfect attack and defense that would be impassable for any enemy, but since Madara Uchiha is no ordinary enemy, a powerful "Fire Ball Jutsu" is enough to break through the Libran knight's defense. The "Wrath of a Hundred Dragons," a blow powerful enough to decimate an army, mortally wounds the Konoha ninja, apparently ending the fight.
When Doko tries to move to celebrate victory, he notices a pool of blood around him and with searing pain caused by an arrow from a "Susanoo" that pierces his chest, he realizes he had fallen into a "genjutsu" and feels honored to have been defeated by the most formidable warrior he has ever faced.
Battle Winner: Madara Uchiha.
Milo of Scorpio x Sasori
The talkative golden scorpion points its scarlet needle at the master of puppets. Milo, using his immense speed, tries to hit his enemy with his poisonous needles, but a barrier formed by dozens of puppets prevents his attack from having any effect on his opponent.
Sasori then attacks his opponent using his "iron sand rain" (a jutsu in which Sasori levitates iron filings that are shaped into giant needles and launched against his enemy), causing Milo to taste his own poison (pardon the pun).
The gold knight, though without the strength to stand up, uses his last strength to explain to his tormentor the effects he would suffer if struck by the "Scarlet Needle of Antares," but loses consciousness before finishing his speech.
Battle Winner: Sasori.
Aiolos of Sagittarius x Orochimaru
Aiolos has always been one of Athena's most loyal knights, even sacrificing himself to protect her as a baby. However, very little of his abilities were actually demonstrated in Saint Seiya. The Snake Sannin, on the other hand, was Naruto's main antagonist in his first phase and his power became quite evident when he defeated his own master, the Third Hokage, and when he faced two other Sannins (Jiraiya and Tsunade) alone with limited powers and on equal footing.
The Sagittarius knight anticipates and launches his atomic thunder, which is defended by a giant white snake skillfully summoned by Orochimaru. Aiolos, who is being pursued by the giant reptile, uses his wings and flies over the combat arena. Before starting his descent, Athena's knight prepares with his bow and arrow and directs his deadly weapon directly at Orochimaru. The renegade ninja launches two dozen serpents from his arms against the gold knight, who in a precise movement fires his arrow that pierces all the snakes in its direction and without deviating a millimeter, strikes Orochimaru's head, pinning it to the ground and staining the gleaming golden arrow red.
Battle Winner: Aiolos of Sagittarius.
Shura of Capricorn x Pain
Shura of Capricorn is considered the gold knight most loyal to the goddess Athena and a formidable opponent. Pain, who for a long time was considered the leader of the Akatsuki, is a ninja guided by hatred due to past trauma, and possesses such a devastating level of power that with a single strike he managed to devastate the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
The gold knight uses his speed to approach Pain, but is repelled by the "Tendo" jutsu which uses gravitational fields to repel his adversaries. Unable to get close to Pain, Shura launches his powerful "Excalibur" which is easily absorbed by the "Gakido" jutsu (a jutsu that allows its user to absorb any type of Chakra).
Unable to even touch his opponent, the warrior of the Capricorn constellation becomes an easy target and is pulverized by the "Shinra Tensei" jutsu.
Battle Winner: Pain.
Camus of Aquarius x Tobi
Camus of Aquarius, the occupant of the 11th house of the zodiac, is the ice knight and one of the few men on Earth capable of reaching temperatures close to -273°C, which is equivalent to absolute zero (the lowest temperature that can be represented on any temperature scale). In this battle his opponent is Tobi, the masked ninja of the Akatsuki, the leader from behind the shadows, and an opponent whom even the 4th Hokage couldn't eliminate.
The gold knight initiates his attack with the "ice circle" seeking to immobilize his opponent, and when he achieves his goal, he fires a "diamond dust" to try to finish the job. Tobi, who had remained motionless until that moment, makes his body translucent and the freezing blow passes through his body without causing him damage. In disbelief at what he witnesses, the Aquarius knight moves to hand-to-hand combat, but his blows fail to hit Tobi, who materializes only when necessary to attack his opponent, who receives each blow applied by the ninja directly.
The staggering Athena knight resorts to his last card to defeat Tobi, who sees his opponent raise his joined arms and bring them forward slowly while pronouncing with vigor two words that strike fear into the hearts and minds of the most feared fighters: Aurora Executionnn!
Tobi, who until that moment had suffered no damage, prepares to become intangible, but something different happens. Camus's freezing blow manages to reach absolute zero (the temperature at which all molecular agitation stops) thus preventing the full use of the Uchiha clan ninja's powers, who is struck head-on by the most powerful blow of the Aquarius constellation and faints without even having a chance to understand how he was defeated.
Battle Winner: Camus of Aquarius.
Aphrodite of Pisces x Zetsu
Being considered the most beautiful knight of Athena is not necessarily a title that causes fear in enemies, but Aphrodite's demonic roses have proven to be overly dangerous to his rivals and underestimating him is never a good idea. In contrast, Zetsu can be considered a kind of parasite that can manipulate the bodies of his opponents (Black Zetsu) or even split into thousands of warriors, using his plant abilities (White Zetsu) which together can cause many problems.
Our final battle begins with the Pisces knight launching his "demonic roses" against Zetsu who is hit but quickly comes back to life since only one of his clones suffered the damage from the attack. The Akatsuki ninja advances toward his opponent while the gold knight continues with his long-range attacks, but this time using his black roses (piranha roses), which although they hit Zetsu, don't mortally wound him.
When Zetsu manages to get close to Aphrodite to take possession of his body, he realizes his senses are numbed, his steps are heavy, and when he looks at the ground he finally sees a sea of red roses around him, exhaling a sweet aroma that causes the ninja to be thrown to the ground.
Before falling asleep from inhaling the scent of Aphrodite's poisoned roses, the renegade ninja warns that when he wakes from his sleep he will end the gold knight's life and reduce his body to ashes. At that very moment, before the Akatsuki ninja completely loses consciousness, Aphrodite of Pisces kneels before his enemy and calmly drives a white rose into his chest that gradually, very slowly, begins to change color.
Battle Winner: Aphrodite of Pisces.
