Mito pured some chakra out of her, activating Rosé seal. However it wasn't perfect. She had manged to survive the cave in. She had opened her eyes feeling that Black Zetsu was gone and that sinister chakra standing right over her. She was disoriented for few moments. She had a wound on her head, it was bleeding over her eye. She then noticed Minato reappear next to her. He was shocked and he was shaking. Mito knew that this was bad, but she had to stay calm and calm him too. So she spoke calmly leaving every ounce of emotion from her voice :" i will take care of Kushina and kyubi. While you chase black Zetsu, don't hurt Shisui too much. If you do he will die and black Zetsu will escape."
Minato looked her in eyes watching carefully to see if it was alright. Mito also knew that she couldn't chase black Zetsu because there was possibility that Isobu would get loose too. Minato nodded and started to run to direction that Mito had shown. There were battle screams there too.
Mito watched kyubi who was raging, it was making grimase, she had realized it was trying to make a biju bomb. However ahe didn't know for what he was actually aiming. If it was village, her barrier would protect it. However everything in it would be destroyed. She cursed, she didn't have much choice. She created shadow clones and rushed towards him. Some went to take Kushina from beneath the beast. The beast had obviously saw that and aimed at Mito. Mito smirked as she channeled some of her chakra into her legs, she appeared closer to beast in second. She punched him hard into leg. However it didn't move much. One of his tails swinged to hit Mito, but she dodged. She didn't have a choice she had to summon both toads and slugs. Slugs were here to keep Kushina alive as long as possible, while toads were here to fight on same height with kyubi.
Mito cursed as she realized how little of her chakra was left, she was on around 30 percent of her chakra. She knew she had to use Isobus. When she knew that Kushina was safe and that a slug was healing her she made her hands coated with Isobus chakra. The biju bomb was ready and it was aimed at her. Mito nodded to her clones and the toad. She was lunched at top spead towards kyubi.
On the other side of the village a huge earthquake was felt. However shinobi had already noticed that it was a earthquake but a biju. Everyone could feel the chakra moster for this far away. Lord third immediately stood up from his bed and got ready for battle. Then when he exited on the streets every shinobi was already waiting for him. He had ordered that genin stay here and protect civilians, chunins would be around gates, and jonins were to follow him. The fear was visible but everyone knew what was to do. He had a key to enter the barrier and he know how to go into the barrier without one.
He cursed everything under his breath. Shikaku was next to him, and looked extremely sad and worried also guilty.
Shikaku was tearing himself apart, mi3had told him about this, but they didn't do anything about it and now it will cost them. He couldn't blame Mito she had done her best to protect them and she had said that she change many things. He wondered if the child was fine.
Naruto was left to Tamura and Suzume. Who were surprised to see Minato just rush into house. They knew something bad had happened. However Minato only said to make sure nobody attacks Naruto. And that he would come later for him
The child didn't cry even though it was suddenly torn apart from mothers side. The next thing that couple felt terrified them. They realized what had happened. Suzume started to cry. She didn't want to lose Kushina. She didn't want to losethe family she finally had created, she jjst couldn't. Tamura was also extremely sad, but he spoke :" Mito is there, she will make things fine."
Suzume trembled :" she is, but she is only a child, the whole words troubles are crushing her. Maybe she will be dead too."
Tamura shake his head :" no, don't go there, i am sure that everything will be fine. We still can feel both of theirs chakra signals."
Suzume froze :" i can, but those values are going down really fast. "
Tamura nodded :" Mito always has a trump card, so there is no need to worry that much. " the noise from outside of windows made Tamura look for what was happening. He spoke :" Lord third is going to reinforce them. "
Minato was angry, but he heard what Mito said, the body is of Shisui, so he couldn't kill him, the child, a innocent thing, as innocent as young shinobi could be. He had followed the sound of fight. He wasn't surprised when he saw 7 Anbu attacking the boy. What surprised him was the use of shushin, the boy could create the illusions how fast he was moving, he noticed sharingan that he never saw before. Did that set of kyubi. Was that what Mito feared also. Is that why she closed her eyes, was that whyshe didn't chase the boy herself even though she cared about him. However before he could analyze the situation he had to jump into battle. The Anbu even though they were outnumbering black Zetsu couldn't land a hit on him and were carefully sliced. It wasn't lethal but it made the slower and weaker. Minato had jumped to prevent someone of anbu dieing. He managed to grab Shisui's hand that was holding kunai before the child could peirce Anbus throat. He made sure to implant a seal on the boy right there. The smirk on the right side was creepy. However Minato controled every ounce of his body. As he tossed the boy into the tree. He ordered the Anbu to leave and help Mito, he got this one.
Did he really, well he had to try.
Minato tried his best not to hurt Shisui too much, he was clearly stronger and black Zetsu was more interested into fleeing than fighting him. However when black Zetsu didn't have choice but to attack him he sure would go for the kill.
Minato was patiently waiting for a slip up.
Black Zetsu smirked as he jumped in front of the kunai Minato was holding. Minato quickly moved it out of the way, however black Zetsu used this to wound Minato, he sliced him on stomach. It pained a lot. He cursed, he didn't care no longer, he will hurt the boy now but it won't be lethal.
A large explosion was heard and smirk form black Zetsus face dissappeared. Minato noticed it as the thing started to run. Minato rushed after him this time lots slower. However he still managed to catch him up. However they had exited the barrier, which seemed to be what black Zetsu wanted.
Mito was in the air as kyubi had opened his mouth to make them bomb explode. Mito didn't have much time, so she silently cursed. What could she do. How to prevent this. There was only one solution, only one that could possibly work. She wasn't certain. She reached with her hands forwards. She was meters away from kyubis mouth. Her chakra and Isobus rushed there. And suddenly her arms extend. She managed to make them long enough to reach kyubi. She could feel that the beast didn't expect that to happen at all, however it didn't do anything about it. She then quickly landed her hand on his mouth, on his uper and down side. She forcefully closedhis mouth. The explosion happened in his mouth . However Mito was blown away from the impact. The kyubi screamed loudly, and aimed for Mito with his tails. Mito only could block with Rosé seal. However it wasn't strong enough to defend her from two tails. She landed on her back, she could feel that her rib was broken as she cought blood. She noticed then that anbu were getting near the beast and that reinforcement was arriving. However she knew that nobody could really stand against kyubi right now. She needed help from Kushina, from Isobu. But could she possibly do. Kyubi is pissed. And there is no way back. Or is there. Kyubi didn't break free from sharingan control, so Mito still could break that genjutsu. However what would happen then kyubi will just continue rampaging. Maybe she had to make Kushina use her chains. However that was risky would that make Kushina too weak to survive. Luckily she was tossed right next to where slug was, that was on Kushina.
Mito crawled towards the slug, as to not make kyubi notice her movements.
Minato cursed as he realized that black Zetsu only escaped because he feared that the body would be killed by biju bomb as no one can leave the barrier if they don't have a key. So what now, the biju was spamming biju bombs probably and he couldn't help them. He decided to chase black Zetsu for little longer and when he would be sure that it wouldn't come back, he would go back. From what he noticed the thing didn't want to fight him any more and was slowly getting weaker and even struggling to walk, was it Shisui that was fighting him from inside.
Indeed it was, when Shisui felt the control weaken he started to fight with black Zetsu. Even though his body was weak right, his mind could fight. He didn't want anything bad to happen. He wished to be with everyone, and not to be the one causing everything. He had long ago noticed Minato wasn't trying to kill him, but to make his body weak to not be able to move, he realized why the man was doing it, and knew that was the rea3why black Zetsu stopped focusing on controlling his body but rather on possibly planning his escape. He tried his hardest and could feel slowly regaining senses. Minato suddenly dissappeared from his sight as he found himself falling into a small cave. He realized that Minato trusted him to fight of black Zetsu alone. He kept that in mind. As his left hand moved to tear the black part of skin of him. While his right hand tried to choke him. However he knew that his body was too weak from overusing his sharingan and from over using the shushin. It was his favorite jutsu but he still didn't have enough stamina to make it his lethal move. He felt proud as the blackness from his skin was teared apart. A child appeared next to him again. However this time it was huffing in pain but holding sharp stone. It attacked him and stabbed him, however it dissappeared before Shisui was dead. Shisui screamed in pain. Would he die here, would he fail everyone. His body was too tired and couldn't move, his chakra nowhere to be found. His voice hourse and his mind sleepy. He was going down right. This small palce would be his resting place. How sad, how short just as his life. The last thing he would see would be dark, and some white animal, that is slowly getting near him. It wasn't big but it make him feel better at least he wouldn't die all alone. His sight went out first and he was sleeping,
Minato had appeared right next to Lord third. He wasn't surprised to see only jonins, here however he cursed his luck as Kakashi was there, he wouldn't allow him to enter, not a chance. He spoke to him :" Kakashi there is something i need you to do."
Kakashi looked at him :" i swear to Sage if you don't let me go in, i will wreck chaos."
Minato nodded :" I am sorry but it is too dangerous there. I need you to retrieve a ally that was taken by enemy."
Kakashi froze, who was it, Mito, why didn't Minato say anything, who was kidnapped.
Minato spoke :" i need to take care of things in barrier so, would you go and save them, the last information we have of them is somewhere around the little cave in north."
Kakashi had to nod everyone was looking at him. He headed there first. Minato and lord third lifted a part barrier to let others enter with them. Minato was surprised when he felt that chakra that was running in the barrier was mixture of biju and Mitos. Did she already exhausted her resevrses, that wouldn't be good.
When they enetered the seal, they saw toad fighting and distracting the kyubi, Mitos clones and some anbu that were giving support. However it didn't seem effective at all. Because with few swings of his tails kyubi would manage to block all of the attacks, and attack. The number of clones was going down and fast. What Minato noticed was the slug, that wasn't moving, he had heard that Mito manged to summon them, but he never realized that she could summon such big one. Was Kushina in there. But on closer look there was Mitos leg too. So that meant she was checking on Kushina, or maybe healing herself.
As he thought that, he saw that toad was in difucult situation as he then summoned another toad. They didn't have choice it was obvious, that they couldn't win against such a thing, the solution was to seal him. Suddenly he realized that was not possible. There wasn't anyone who could do it.
Mito wasn't option she was already a jinchuriki. Lord third stood up next to him as he said :" we need to firstly make it immobile. Then we can think of solutions., but how to do that. Shikaku won't be able as his shadows don't work without light. And just happens that moon is behind the clouds."
Minato nodded thinking logically :" we should use fire attacks. "
Lord third nodded, as he ordered fire attacks. The plan was good but it failed as soon as fire went out Shikaku couldn't stop the beast any longer. The man was obviously trying his hardest but what was with that guilty look.
Kyubi had roared again as last of Mitos clones had dissappeared. Kyubi started to swing his tails restlessly and started to gather his chakra into biju bomb once again. The shinobi froze again was that end for everyone here. Then suddenly Mito was standing in front of everyone. Her arms in front of her and her breath held in. She then suddenly rushed forwards and earth around her started to shake heavily. With every step she was getting closer the shaking got stronger and stronger. Suddenly toad lifted a hand towards Mito as Mito jumped on it. Using it as platform to go straight towards the beasts mouth. The beast was expecting it. As it already had a tail in front of Mito.
