Ginchuriki Series 1/2 (C21)
"Sa...Sa...Saskue" Naruto whispered himself.
"No... No... that is...not real...Saskue still alive...Saskue didn't die I know that..." Sakura convincing herself.
"And that is how it's done" Katim said "I must say that I feel quite lonely now, as the only survivor of the clan, Dam, it quite hurts my feelings" Katim said in cold blooded words when everyone knows from his looks that he didn't even care.
"Nah, don't worry, you are not alone yet".
Kai, or "the spirit", appeared on the mountain the Katim summoned, supporting Saskue to stand on his right side.
"He came, finally!" Kishito said.
"Saskue!" Naruto was too happy.
"That is the guy that Gaara spoke of?" Kiba said.
"He's just looks like how he described him, black robe and a torn sleeve" Shikamaru said.
"Wait...but didn't he had an assistant?" Sakura stated.
"Here" Tushira spawned near them and smiled.
"Oh, hey…" Sakura said.
"Nice to meet you" Tushira smiled again.
"Want to take a rest after the beating you got?" Kai asked Saskue mocking him kindly.
"I'm still breathing, when that stops, I will" Saskue answered, Kai grinned.
They slid down from the mountain, and stood near Naruto.
"Is that your back up? Don't make me laugh" Katim said.
"Katim, he is "the spirit" that we are seeking..." Motura said.
"Oh! So finally we met, I do really realize the danger of the Spiritual Chakra that you are carrying but...I don't feel your danger" Katim added "It might deserve a better wielder to be honest"
"I would rather to keep it with him than with you" Naruto answered.
"Yeah, Yeah, whatever, it will be with us sooner or later you just watch it" Katim confidently said.
"That won't happen and if it does, I won't be here to witness it either!" Naruto said signing that he will be dead if that moment comes.
"Looks like Yarok can join now for three verses three battle right?" Katim asked Kishito.
"Looks like that..." Kishito said allowing Yarok to participate in the battle.
Yarok stood came forward for the attacking line, facing Kai, Naruto and Saskue.
Kai stood in the center, Naruto on his right, Saskue on the left, Kai laid his palm on their shoulders, and transferred some of his chakra for them.
"What is that?" Naruto wondered.
"Don't worry, you will be fine" Kai said.
"Wait is that the Spiritual Chakra that they own?!" Naruto wondered.
"Yes, it will keep you safe" Kai said.
"Even if I don't know you, but I trust you" Naruto said, not realizing that the one that he is talking to is Kai.
"Ok let's do it! Same formation Saskue, and you…take the big guy" Naruto said pointing to Kai.
"Understood" Kai said.
"I am so excited!" Katim said.
"The formation is pretty much straight to explain, looks like Yarok will struggle a bit" Motura said.
"Well, if he is that scared I won't mind to switch places" Katim vexes Yarok.
"I am okay with it; you take care" Yarok said.
"Don't worry about us, we'll be fine" Motura said.
"Are you ready yet to advance to stage two?" Katim asked Motura.
"Not yet" Motura answered "I will be able to once I engage Naruto"
"Ok then, let's get this done" Yarok said singing the beginning of the battle.
"They look ready" Kai said.
"Take care guys, they are too skilled" Naruto said.
"We will, Naruto sensei" Kai said trying to give hints to Naruto to know him.
"Sensei?!" Naruto wondered but he didn't get an answer because the battle already started by the Kishi's rush.
Motura faced Naruto again, with her electricity shocks, her ability advanced abilities grant her an advantage, but Naruto speed played a role too.
Naruto rushed to her with his Bijuu mode taking the advantage of the Nine Tailed Fox chakra, he kept a distance from getting in touch with her palms that held high voltages, he created a shadow clone to help him, one to block her counter attacks and the original Naruto to attack and cause damage with the Rasengan, Motura knew that by that she can't win the battle, and she is just wasting her chakra and energy in vain, she knew that she has to wait till the right timing to unleash an attack that covers a certain radius to hit both of the targets, luckily Naruto delayed couple seconds before his clone got electrocuted, when he realizes the danger he bounces himself back away from the dome.
"Lucky delay" Motura said.
"Hmph..." Naruto acts like he meant it.
Motura used her Lightening Style and created a lightening stick and used it as a weapon, while Naruto pulled his traditional weapons, a kunai.
They got engaged again, that lightening stick got charged with Spiritual Chakra as well, which made it too dense, so at engagement, when Motura hit Naruto from above with her lightening stick and he blocked it with a kunai, the ground that Naruto was standing on got crushed tens of centimeters when the last was struggling to block the attack.
Saskue in the other hand, reengaged with his clan member, Katim, the one who disrespected his brother's memory and revealed the secrets of his father:
"Here we go again" Katim said.
Saskue ignored.
"Want to attack in the Traditional Uchiha clan way?" Katim asked.
"Traditional way?!" Saskue wondered.
"Eyes battle, Genjutsu" Katim said.
"So that is the traditional way?" Saskue said.
"Well, it is more the most fitted way I can think of for two Uchiha members battle, it is kind of revives the faith in the clan" Katim said.
"So you've lost it?" Saskue said.
"Humph...Speak that for your brother and youself" Katim said, and added "Let us start, talks settle nothing but waste of time"
Genjutsu battle suddenly emerged, at least for them, the rest were seeing two static humans taking sharp looks at each other.
Saskue looked controlling the situation; he locked himself and Katim in an oil-green land, got one of its ends covered in tree vines.
Saskue was looking at it, seeing a person getting sucked into the vines, he felt satisfied that he is controlling now.
"Saskue..." Saskue heard that person calling.
Saskue came closer, knowing that it is not Katim's voice tone, that tone looks familiar.
"Saskue...Why is that, why you are doing this to me" That voice continued to whisper in drowning voice.
"Who are you!" Saskue said while the shadows that covered that person's body slowly fading away.
"It is me Saskue..." That voice answered.
It was Itachi, Saskue's brother, the one who did the impossible to keep his brother safe and secure.
"Itachi!" Saskue rushed to him, desperately trying to remove the vines that were upon Itachi, but it was for no use, the vines continued to stretch.
"Saskue..." Itachi repeatedly said while his voice was fading away with every time he repeats it.
Saskue was trying to free him, used his sword to cut the vines, but as soon as his sword got caught in the vines and got swallowed too, he couldn't do a thing but to use his hands, wildly tearing the vines to get back Itachi.
At the end, one vine has been used as a whip hit Saskue and forced him to fly back meters away.
"Saskue, I will miss you!" Itachi stretched his hand to reach him.
"Itachi! Wait! Take me with you!" Saskue barely stood up run towards Itachi's hand to pull him out, but moment before he reached his fingers Itachi was already been gone behind these vines.
Saskue crumbled crying when they got out from the Genjutsu, blaming himself why he couldn't save Itachi, thinking that he was really there and there was a chance to get him back to fill the gap of his missing.
