Blood splashed everywhere. The stench covered her face and her clothes making her want to puke. She was waiting for the pain the sword would bring her but it never came. Her face grew pale as she looked up.
It wasn't her blood. It was Tobirama's. She whispered his name and he turned to her with a smile on his face. "I'm glad to know that it was you I gave my life for, Natty-chan." She kept repeating 'no' over and over.
This wasn't happening! This couldn't be happening. Tobirama was the most respected shinobi in her mind, but here he was in front of her with a giant gash across his abdomen. Laughter resounded through the air.
"I killed the Senju Tobirama! If this doesn't give me a name…" He continued to laugh, completely ignoring Natsumi who was still staring wide-eyed at Tobirama who had fallen to his knees, his breathing becoming more and more irregular.
Her opponent kept laughing and she felt herself starting to tremble, in absolute anger.
"YOU BASTARD!" She stood up glaring with all her might, her face stone cold.
"What'll you do about it girlie. Your lover boy couldn't defeat me, what makes you think that you can. Filthy half-blood."
Her eyes started to bleed, her mangekyo sharingan finally making its appearance. "You don't even know what you've started."
The swordsman just laughed in response. Lightning flashed through the air reminding the pair of the fight between the lightning experts. Clouds covered the area and soon rain started pouring down unforgivingly.
Natsumi felt power surging threw her veins; her thoughts focusing on killing the man in front of her. Tobirama was almost in a death state because of her. He somehow marked her with his thunder god technique. Because of her weakness he could die. Because the swordsman in front of her decided to slash him as soon as he was in front of her.
"Wh-what is that?" The swordsman stared at Natsumi. Her power was quickly increasing as her anger fueled her. A red giant surrounded her and Tobirama.
"Let me introduce you to the real power of the Uchiha clan. The susanoo."
"Th-that's supposed to be a myth!" He took a step back still staring wide eyed at the irate female in front of him.
"Obviously it's not, stu~pid." He stared helplessly as he saw her wounds slowly healing due to the sheer power of her susanoo. "And very soon, this half-blood will show you the power of the Senju clan. I hope you'll prepare yourself." The giant took a step towards the swordsman who started to show fire in his eyes due to being underestimated by the girl.
"Earth release! Mud wall!" Suddenly, a wall of mud surrounded the swordsman. Natsumi wouldn't allow him to jump out, so before he could make any move; "Water release! Water barrier!" A surge of water then filled the circular wall of mud that surrounded the ninja.
"What the hell?!" She saw her opponent struggling to stand on the water, and almost drowning. However, she wasn't content with that. He made the mistake of looking her in the eyes and she whispered 'tsukuyomi'.
The swordsman started screaming, desperately looking for his sword. When he looked up, he saw Natsumi standing in front of him, holding his most precious weapon. Quickly, he attempted to make a move to Natsumi in order to retrieve his 'twinsword'. However, he found out that he couldn't move a single muscle.
"What the hell?" He kept repeating over and over. He saw the disgusting smirk placed on Natsumi's face.
"Welcome to my world."
"Yo-your world?" His eyes were wide in fear. Sweat dripping down his face.
"For a month, you will now feel what you did to Tobirama, over and over again. You will be cut-" After saying this, Natsumi sliced the swordsman's abdomen causing him to scream out in pain. "And then you will be healed." He looked down to see his abdomen fully healed, however the pain from the previous cut remained. "And then you will be cut again." He screamed out in pain again and a second later he looked down to once again to see himself fully healed again. "I will continue this cycle for a month. I hope you enjoy."
Not a second later, the swordsman screamed out in pain. The scream was so loud, it resounded through the area and caused Tobirama to open his eyes slightly, unbeknownst to Natsumi. The swordsman looked at Natsumi, avoiding eye contact.
"You're a monster." Natsumi narrowed her eyes as she saw the swordsman clinging to the mud wall, attempting to stay conscious.
"You stole my only precious person and you expect to get off easy? No, I will make sure you feel my pain."
Tobirama stared in wonder. When did she get this strong? He remembered secretly watching her as she trained by herself. But this was nothing that he saw. His eyes widened in, he didn't know if it was fear or wonder, as he realized her next move. The chakra she was building, he thought it was impossible for someone else to be able to do such a thing.
"Wood release" Realizing the situation, the swordsman quickly tried to escape. However, Natsumi wouldn't allow such a thing. "Secret technique; nativity of a world of trees." Before her opponent could move a foot further, trees surrounded him completely successfully halting his escape.
Tobirama could feel the smirk on Natsumi's face. Her arrogance was seeping from her. It was surrounding the susanoo he realized he was in. Worry consumed him. Did his Natty-chan fall to the curse of the Uchiha clan?
Fear covered his soul as he heard her next words. "Amerterasu." The black flames engulfed the area of trees in the mud wall. The screams of anguish surrounded them. The smirk never once left Natsumi's face.
When the silence came, Natsumi extinguished the flames and allowed her eyes to return to her honey color. Her susanoo disappeared and left Natsumi breathing deeply at the amount of chakra she just used.
"Natsumi…" Almost with whiplash, Natsumi turned around to see Tobirama slowly sitting up. Tears made their way to her eyes as she ran over to him and hugged him.
"You're okay?" A smile covered her face and she quickly wiped her tears away.
"Yeah, your susanoo must've healed me." A quick glance down made them both realize that the gash on her leg had also disappeared.
"Thank goodness."
"We're going to have to leave as soon as possible Natsumi. We need to make sure that everyone else is okay." They both let their chakra cover the area. "I feel Katsuo at 12 o'clock. I'll go help him. I'm sure I'll be able to help him more. Shota I believe is over at 7 o'clock. With your sharingan, you'll be able to help him more."
Natsumi nodded, although reluctantly. Sometimes she hated how much sense Tobirama made. "Don't use your mangekyo as much as possible. I see the strain it puts on you." A sigh later, the pair stood up, ready to help their friends.
xXx
Tobirama hid in the bush, watching the fight going on in front of him. Luckily the rain was clearing up. Soon, he realized why as the 'fang' user suddenly fell to his knees.
Tobirama took this moment to show himself just in time to see Katsuo behead the swordsman.
"Good, that's two down." Katruo nodded at Tobirama agreeing. "Let's head over to 2 o'clock to make sure Tsubame is all right." With the nod, the pair took to the trees, running in the direction of their bug-using friend.
xXx
When Natsumi came to the scene, she saw the swordsman standing over Shota, ready to slice him in half. Thinking quickly, she activated her susanoo and ran to where Shota and the 'executioner's' blade were. She reached out with her red giant's sword and blocked the attack.
Shota and the swordsman looked up in shock to see a very unhappy Natsumi standing in the way.
"Natsumi leave!" A glare was sent to Shota.
"Shut up you arrogant asshole! You're sitting there accepting death! You're in no place to be giving me orders!" Shota quickly shut his mouth after receiving Natsumi's scolding.
A smile covered the sword user's face. "You are not fully Uchiha and yet you can use the mangekyo."
Natsumi's attention turned to her new opponent and glared at him. "Yeah, what of it?"
"You are my most respected opponent so far. I will allow your name to be put in history saying as such."
"You think you can kill me so easily?" The sword user jumped back, the dull part of his sword resting on his shoulder.
"No, but since you have such strength in you, I must defeat you." A smirk found its way to Natsumi's face.
"Her strength…?" Shota whispered to himself as he stared at the surprisingly broad back of his teammate.
She turned her head to Shota who was lying in her susanoo. Shock covered his face as he saw her mangekyo. A smirk covered her face once again.
"Yes. This half-blood will show you how an Uchiha is supposed to fight, according to Madara."
"You were trained by Madara?" The two men asked at the same time.
"Yes, and Senju Tobirama." The sword user then pointed his sword at Natsumi whose eyes were spinning wildly.
"I will have fun killing you." Natsumi scowled at this and Shota could only stare on in fear. He wasn't ready to see her die in front of him.
"Go ahead and try!" Her opponent then started to run towards her.
"Wood release! Advent of a world of flowering trees!" A gasp could only be heard from Shota as he was attempting to stay conscious. Would he really be saved by a half-blood?
