Chapter 254
Killer Bee charged with a bit of eight tails chakra, A had successfully blocked it, and punched back, the zetsus had also rushed at the killer Bee, the moment A had pushed him back, A continued to strike, no longer caring about having a fair fight with his younger brother, he knew that he had already lost this battle, maybe even the war, but he was stubborn, he wanted Killer Bee to see what he saw. No matter if killer Bee truly understood him in the end or not. He saw Killer Bee in the pain, as the whit Zetsus had been slowly tearing away his chakra, before the man had killed them, it was easy to punch killer Bee now, when he had multiple enemies. Raikage was enjoying this. Why, he was enjoying similar things for as long as he remembered seeing Black Zestu. His smirk froze, as he felt something pierce through his chest. Fully piercing through him, and grabbing his heart, that was last thing he saw. Only thing in his mind was who, how.
Killer Bee had just finished rolling when he saw, his brother holding a his own heart through another himself. He was frozen in shock, especially since the man used lightning to fully burn down the heart. His confusion was replaced with anger, fury, sadness, agony. As the one holding the heath quickly dissappeared in the earth, meaning it was Zetsu. Killer Bee screamed, his feelings overwhelming him, he wanted a to understand his brother, he wanted to live happily with the man, guilt was what he felt the strongest, was this all his fault, was he supposed to stay by his brothers side. He never realized that his control over hachibi had slipped, he didn't understand that he was no longer in his human form, he didn't feel like a human either way. He didn't hear anything around him, didn't see, didn't talk, only wanted to scream his lounged out.
His roars, made everyone freeze. Yugito froze in horror too. Her heart squezzed, feeling the pain Killer Bee must feel too. He reason was still intact though. She knew where the smell was coming from, she knew where the pain was coming from. She had a free route in front of her, as everyone had stared at fully transformed Hachibi. Many Kumo shinobi started to run as they realized A had died.
Kakashi was calm, he stood his ground, listening to Mitos plan and following it was the best he could do. His first order was to wake Tenzo up, and give him chakra pills. If possible. Next he took Obitos hand and spoke :“ we are about to do something Mito said to never do. Mito ordered it, so everything is going to be fine. You cannot refuse this OK. „ Obito, was a bit confused, Kakashi was preparing him mentally for the plan, which meant the plan wasn't something they usually did. Obito nodded, as he understood that there was no refusing this. Kakashi had said so. Obito had noticed how Kakashi had spoken with Inoichi. He spoke :“ alright, what I am supposed to do. „ Kakashi had a grimace on his face, well obito could tell even though mask was covering it. Kakashi spoke :“ Yugito and I will try to distract him, if Tenzo wakes up he will help us too, but your role is the most important. Mito is asking you to use your magyeko sharigan. The rest I don't need to explain. „ Obito gasped, his mouth agape for few moments and he nodded, he never understood how Mito knew so much, he didn't remember telling her that he activated the magyeko sharigan.
His eyes glowed and then started to spin, he watched Kakashi speak the commands of the headquarters before rushing out.
Yugito was in front of the Killer Bee, the Hachibi, did not like anyone coming close, it sent a warning with one of its tails slapping next to Yugito, barely missing her. The dust lifted as Hachibi retrieved itself tail. Yugito looked at him with his cat like eyes. The moment she thought he softened to her, she felt a pressure from above. She had misread the Hachibi. He felt deep pain and didn't bother to recgonize her or Matabi. She didn't have time to dodge. She infused herself with Matabis chakra, enough of it to go in full transformation, knowing that if she only went in first stage she would hurt Hachibi and anger him more. Her cloack barely was made in time and her paws were barely holding on the tail, her own tails helping. The ground underneath was destroyed into the fine sand from the impact. Yugito was screaming, through her clenched teath, using every last piece of strength to block the attack. Slowly Kakashi had arrived and diverted the octopus attention towards him, making the pressure easier to be deal with.
The blood of the octopus was everywhere, as Kakashi used lightning type of attack on his sword. His every step calculated, his every move precise, his breath always in control. His eyes always carefully searching for openings and careful about the attacks that were possible. Yugito could hear the clashes of Konoha and Kumo forces behind her back, her senses extremely extended. Small movements caught her eye. The boy she knew was named Obito was sneeking in the battlefield, was that part of the plan. What was more, she could feel heavy nature chakra rise up. She couldn't pinpoint where it was from exactly but she knew it was there. She didn't trust it. It felt threatening to her. Her mind was cleared when the tail she was defending from retreated to its master and she could finally join on the attacks. That was good thing, the bad thing was that the tail was used to hit Kakashi flying away. That must have hurt. Especially since Kakashi could not predict such move.
Kakashi coughed blood, and stood up, slowly checking his surroundings and then rushing back in.
Zetsu watched the chaos and tried his best to steal as much chakra as possible, an idea popped into his head. He saw something tasty.
Mito could hear Kakashis thoughts every few minutes. She was afraid that Inoichi was overdoing his own jutsu, the man had insisted that they leave the connection all the time, Mito only opted to use it every minute. She was sure that Kakashi could survive so long without her advice, and she doubted that the situation could get critical in a minute of time. Her mind was not only focused on that, she had to explain situation to the other jinchuriki and other shinobi. So she spoke :“ The Kumo front line is close to closing. While that is good thing, the reason isn't good. Akatuski had betrayed Kumo, killed Raikage and made Killer Bee full of rage. Which caused an uncontrolled appearance of Hachibi. Our forces are trying to subdue him right now. „ there was only silence as the response, Mito was grateful so she spoke again :“ it seems like their goal is to make jinchuriki lose control, they are trying to turn our advantage in their own one. We must not allow that. „ Iwa shinobi asked :“ so what do we do now, we brought jinchuriki on the battlefield, we can't hide them now. „ Mito nodded :“ that is good question. We don't have a chance of retreating, we have to be careful, since we know what their goal is we can act to avoid it. Jinchuriki will join the forces where they do not know anyone from. So that they cannot be emotionally affected. We will make the untis diverse so that they can fight any type of enemy unit. Since the enemies are slowly approaching us right now, we should make organizations right away. I expect that all the leaders here do their job, Konoha side will be handled by Shisui, as I will be checking on the situation on the other field. „ and with that she stopped talking, patted Shisui and slowly walked away. She could hear Shisui grown, she had put him on the spot and gave him her job, but he surely understood why.
Tenzo woke up, above him was Rin, her eyes noted the change, but she didn't speak anything. She moved her chakra coated hand over his head and nodded saying :“ Tenzo-kun, are you feeling better. „ Tenzo barely found himself opening his mouth, which were unusually dry and spoke :“ yes, I am thristy. „ Rin nodded, took a water bottle out and in another hand a chakra pill. Tenzo looked her up in the eyes, understanding this meant he was to return to the battlefield. He did not expect it, to be honest, especially since they barely allowed him to go in the first time. He was hesitant to take it. But Rin spoke up :“ the situation on the battlefield escalated, once your confusing fades away you will feel why Kakashi needs you to fight by his side. He was so proud of you, when he learned you blocked that attack. „ Tenzo nodded, taking the pill and water slowly. It sure did hit the spot. Tenzo slowly stood up, getting his balance. And he immediately felt the chakra. Bijus. Two, one was uncontrolled and the other was fighting it. Kakashi was there too and Obito was around too. Tenzo noticed how Obitos chakra was difrently focused in his eyes, he wasn't sure what exactly that was, he could asume. But he would rather ask Rin :“ do you perhaps know what the plan is. „ Rin smiled saying :“ they said you will understand if I say these words : the plan Mito never wanted to use. „ Tenzo tensed up, and immediately confirmed his suspicions. Tenzo nodded and looked at Rin saying :“ yeah, i got it, you don't need to worry. „ Rin smiled when he patted her shoulder, she immediately went to another shinobi, continuing her job. „
Obito was looking for the opportunity, he didn't exactly know how far away he should be to use this type of jutsu. He knew for certain that the closer he was, that Hachibi would have to lock eyes with him at some point. But right now the creature was completely turned around away from him. Which he would use to get closer and closer. He often checked on Kakashis chakra signal and Yugito's. His breath was shakier than he expected, he wasn't calm about this situation at all. He knew what it felt to do things against his own will, as a child he was often oppressed and had to do the things his clan expected from him, to fit in. He didn't like that, it did make him who he was right now, but he didn't like that. He knew that Killer Bee would understand, he hoped the situation would calm down before the need of the plan, he knew it wouldn't happen though. His speed was slow, to keep his footsteps quiet. He knew the Hachibi could probably hear him still, but hoped Kakashi and Yugito were diverting his attention. Kakashi had been sent in the air few times now. Yugito seemed to be doing better. Matabi would attack the front whenever Kakashi was on Hachibi's side.
Then out of nowhere wood rose from the ground, trying to trap Hachibi, whose tails were quick to break the wood. Kakashi and Yugito used this time to wound the monster. The attacks made the beast roar in anger, as the attacks allowed the wood to wrap around the beast and possibly trap him. The roar soon became something more. As Hachibi started to create a biju bomb to get rid of wood and Matabi and everything else that was in his way. Matabi was standing still, knowing if she moved, many more people would die. Kakashi tried to stop the gathering of the chakra by adding wounds on the Hachibi but that didn't work. It wasn't safe to do anything. Kakashi mind frantically asked Mito what to do. Mitos response shocked him. He thought she was crazy. Mito spoke again :“ I understand that it seemed crazy, but this is the only way Matabi and basically everyone will survive, damage will be there but they will live, you must run away though. Make sure Obito is ready when the situation calms down. „ Kakashi nodded deciding to trust his spouse. He looked at Matabi saying :“ Mito said to counter the fire with fire. Make sure you don't die. „ Matabi huffed :“ I understand. I hope you can ran away fast. „ Kakashi was already running, towards Obito. Tenzo was luckily far away.
Matabis biju bomb was smaller than Hachibis and had taken less time to form. The two had collided in front of the two. The white noise and white light appeared. And then explosion. The two biju were forcefully blown away from each other. The wood was gone it the explosion. Matabis flew backwards, half of the coat gone. Yugito's core was visible but not in danger. Matabi layed down for the few moments, and then weakly groaned. On the other hand Hachibi was thrown back less than her, though the damage on his part was bigger, as he had aimed his own biju bomb in direction of wood where parts of his own body were trapped. The beast growled in pain, but didn't take any action.
Obito rushed towards the beast, he could feel Tenzo's wood style follow him from underneath the earth surface. It was faster than him, which would make this easier. Before Obito knew it, he was on top of Hachibis nose, the Hachibi movement limited from the injuries and from the wood style surrounding him. Obito looked Hachibi in the eyes and it stared back. He didn't feel anything for few seconds, until he suddenly was pulled into the mindspace of Killer Bee and Hachibi. Killer Bee was starting at the pool, Hachibi semmed to be turned away from the pool, but the pool was connected to Hachibi. Obito spoke calmly :“ what are you doing. „ Hachibi was the one who spoke :“ you dare to ask, when you are intruding. „ Obito huffed :“ 8 didn't want to intrude, I was ordered by Mito, I can't let you guys kill everyone. Hachibi I know you don't kill, I know you aren't monster, so why are allowing this. „ Hachibi answered :“ I am not in control, neither is killer Bee. Sometimes we biju just act according the desires of jinchuriki or emotions. The pool is emotions that killer Bee has been pouring into me since Raikage died. It is too much to hold back. „ Obito understood so he spoke :“ would i be able to stop it, can I make Killer Bee grieve normally. „ Hachibi huffed :“ from my experience with Madara you can. However I don't know how. And still it is pretty fucked up thing to do. „ Obito nodded saying :“ he will realize that I had done this for him, I don't want any more blood on his hands, especially since you are recovering and I doubt Yugito can recover as fast. „ Hachibi nodded :“ that is true. So figure it out. „ Obito nodded, deciding to follow his instincts, which screamed to look at Hachibis eyes for a moment and then head towards Killer Bee and watch him in the eyes too, Obito softly spoke :“ rest for now. Grieve. „ and before he knew the mind space started to push him out, he could feel some of his chakra stay there. And he was back in the real world, the creature in front of him, closed eyes, unmoving. Slowly Hachibis skin started to glow white and dissappear. Revealing Killer Bees form in the middle. Obito relaxed, his body too heavy for his tired legs,they instantly gave up, and he was on the ground, letting a breath escape his lungs he didn't even know he was holding on. He did not really understand the concept of inner mind space before this, he knew Mito had this, he wondered how she managed to live this. Honestly he was afraid of this feeling he didn't like it at slightest. Kakashi appeared next to him in a minute. Handling him a bottle of water, and sitting next to him, saying :“ you did great, Mito is proud of you. I am proud of you, Rin is proud too, Sensei will be proud when the news reach him. You are going to be a hero. Obito your dream will become real. „ Obito smirked :“ see, I told you so. „ Kakashi hummed :“ I can't believe I didn't believe you, I mean how couldn't I see the dork do this. „ Obito chuckled. He then heard two sets of footsteps, one overly familiar and another whose he got familiar recently.
Yugitos and Rin were approaching them. Apparently it was safe enough to take medics this far on the battlefield. Yugitos steps seemed heavier than usual. Which made Obito to look at her closely, he was worried she was injured, which would problematic, as that would mean both jinchuriki were not in condition to fight, whatever enemy would throw at them at this point. However the reason for her heavy steps was the fact that she was carring Tenzo on her back, although she seemed a bit displeased with it. Tenzo barely had his eyes open, probably because he overused his own chakra. Rin obviously had checked him first and detrimend he only needed rest. Rin smiled at him as she slowly checked him up and down, scanning for any major injuries. Obito took his chance to flirt though :“ Rin-chan, you are getting bolder and bolder, you are totally checking me up in front of our teammate and Yugito – sama, you are even doing it in front of child. „ Rin laughed saying :“ are you saying you are fine. „ she pasued for a second, making the others belive that she was flirting back. She then spoke :“ then walk. „ Obito groaned. Rin hummed :“ though so. „ Rin then hummed :“ and I don't think I would need to ashamed in front of Kakashi or Tenzo. Kakashi had done in front of us with Mito. And well Tenzo knows what I am talking about. „ Tenzo immediately went Tomato shade. Obito groaned :“ wait, wait, tell me more, I want to know. „ Kakashi shot back :“ your brain would go into overdrive. „ Obito shouted at him back :“are you calling me stupid, you bakashi. „ Rin decided to ignore them as she spoke to Yugito, who seemed a bit out of the place in this conversation, she had broke in small smile though :“ yeah sorry about this, we are a bit weird. Anyways, I will Tenzo now, since I belive you will be most comfortable with carrying Killer Bee, Kakashi will take Obito, as you see he will survive moving back to the camp. „ Yugito nodded as she carefully put Tenzo on Rins back. Tenzo just mumbled :“ do not tell anyone. Hana will kill me if she found out we weren't careful enough. „ Rin laughed :“ sure, but I don't think that will help you, the whole village thinks that you two are together, or will soon be. You guys are couple of generation, well together with Izumi and Itachi. Funny how you guys were trained by Mito. The rumors will start saying she made so many power couples. „ Tenzo hummed :“ I guess. But please don't tell Obito, if he finds it out, it is basically like the whole world will find out. „ that made Rin chuckle, chuckle about how silly they were. Tenzo was worried if the whole world will find out while fighting for that same world not to end.
