Introduction
To protect all that is precious
The village lay in ruins around me as I stood in front of Zane, the outlaw who had taken over all other villages. He towered over me like an unwanted specter in the night. He laughed at my sight, "You really think you, a lowly Genin could possibly defeat me? Look at your little friend over there… look at her suffering, the pain caused by but a simple motion of my finger" I dare not take my eye off him for a second, for now they were the only thing protecting me from him. I smiled almost drunk off the taste of blood in my mouth, "and you don't seem to understand… I said I'd never let you leave here alive… right now you can't even move can you?" I knew he couldn't, "right now your mind is being held in submission by my cursed eyes."
"It matters very little." He sneered, "soon I'll break your hold on me… all you are able to do is prolong your eventual demise!"
I smiled again, this time I could feel a little bit of fear creep into Zane's heart. "And again… you misunderstand, my demise means very little to me… as long as I can protect the other people in this village. If destroying you means my death then I'll meet you in hell!" I then slid my foot back keeping my eyes fixed onto his and began concentrating all my remaining chakra into my palm. After using the rest of my chakra the very plants around me started to glow dimly releasing their life force and allowing me to absorb it into my palm.
"Wha… what is that." Zane asked his voice now almost quivering.
"This…." I took a deep breath, "this is how I'm going to destroy you. The ultimate technique, the destruction sphere, with this… I absorb my own chakra and the chakra of those who wish to protect the village and focus it into a sphere in my palm."
"No…. Ban…. Please…. Don't do that…" Abunai pleaded
"You can't be serious! That's impossible! To use something of that power you would need…." Zane's eyes went wide with understanding.
I smiled, "A catalyst…. My own life force"
I could hear the screams coming from within the village; all the Special Jounin and Anbu had left to Aid in a resistance. Zane's forces were too much for our Jounin and Chuunin alone. Helios was trying to hold off the invaders while keeping the children safe and hidden. This, however, only added to my resolve.
"All the pain, all the suffering you have caused!" I tightened my grip on the sphere, "Prepare to feel all the evil you have committed at once!" The chakra in my hand erupted into a red flaming sphere my anger giving it the added burst of passion in the desire it needed.
"Ban… no… don't… you'll die" Abunai pleaded once more.
"If I cannot protect this village, I don't deserve to live Abunai, I told you before, didn't I? I have no desire greater then to protect all I care for… this village… my friends who became the family I never had…. And most of all you…"
I could sense the tears flowing from her eyes as she realized I would not submit my resolve. "I'm sorry, but this is the sacrifice I was ready to pay my entire life. If I don't do this… you, sensei, helios, everyone, will be gone. I want you to live."
"We could live together! You have to think of another way!"
"You and I both know there is no other way."
She then silenced, still the tears flowing from her eyes as she realized I was right.
"Now… Zane, Prepare yourself for the afterlife!" I jumped and charged at him thrusting my palm into him as a blinding light washed over everything, and with it, my memories flooded back.
