Chapter/Episode 21
Ten-Tails Unleashed Pt. 2
"I have the Sharingan and the Rinnegan," Kyoko blurted out, the noise of everything still ringing in her ears. "And I'm the great, great granddaughter of the Sage of the Six Paths!"
Her words echoed across the canyon once again and caused the beast to stop. Everything was suddenly very quiet. Kyoko wasn't sure if she had stopped breathing or not, or whether or not her heart had stopped.
In the deafening silence the Ten-tails moved its hand away from Itachi, and turned its ginormous head to face Kyoko. Now she could understand why Itachi hadn't moved. It was terrifying.
There was a reflection of her standing there on the cliff in the Ten-tails' eye and she could see herself clearly in the black and blood red of it with the flames of the forest fire behind her in the background. The reflected image in the Ten-tails' eye made her to believe that she was in hell. It was if she was looking into a crystal ball and saw that it had predicted death for her.
Her hands started to shake a bit as chills went down her spine, but she stood her ground regardless of the fear seeping into every cell of her body.
"You're chakra," the beast remarked. "It is just like his…no…wait. That necklace around your neck, it is his chakra. You are a part of him. You are everything I despise. That man locked me up and sealed me away for years. He tore me apart and separated me into different beasts. My body was locked away and turned into the moon. I despise him and I vow to get revenge. However, he is dead. What is left of him is in that necklace and in your blood. You are directly related to him. You are his offspring. Therefore, I will get revenge by killing you."
"Wha-," Kyoko stammered backing away trembling like a leaf. "N-No! You can't! I didn't do anything to you!"
The Ten-tails chuckled. "That doesn't matter," he replied. "I suffered because of someone from your bloodline. It is your duty to suffer and pay for the consequences."
"No," she exclaimed then stopped. She really didn't know what to say. And besides, was there any point in arguing with it?
"I am going to make you suffer just like I did," the Ten-tails spoke again. "I will make you watch as I kill everyone important to you and destroy anything you care about."
Kyoko breathed in sharply. "It couldn't possibly figure out about Victorique could it," she wondered to herself. "There's no way it could figure out who she is."
The Ten-tails let out a long, menacing laugh as it continued to stare at her. "I can find out who is most precious to you," the Ten-tails remarked, reading her mind. "And I now know who that is. That girl's face that keeps coming to your mind. The one with the black hair. She is the one you care about the most. She will be the first to die in front of your eyes…after all these other people."
Kyoko looked to the group of ninja that were standing to her left. She saw some of the female ninja being comforted by others as fear spread across their face. They were all petrified.
Noticing Itachi had joined Sasuke, Kyoko saw that they were standing a bit father away from the group staring frustrated at her. They were probably trying to figure out how to save her. She noticed the same frustrated expression on the faces of Sakura, Lady Tsunade and Kakashi too.
"I know I said that I hated ninja and didn't care for them," she reflected. "But I can't let this creature kill them all. On top of that, he's going to kill Victorique! I can't let that happen. She's the only one I have left. I don't want to give her any more grief than I already have. I mean I got her and her family kicked out the village. I don't want her to die because of me too. I will protect her!"
Suddenly a surge of courage and determination poured into her. She was going to save everyone. This time she would not hide in fear. She looked back into the Ten-tails' eye with a look of fierce determination that reflected back at her from her reflection.
"Whatever you're planning," the Ten-tails warned. "It's useless. You are weak and a nothing. You should go back to quivering like a child and try to hide while you still can. Not that would do you much good."
"No," Kyoko yelled defiantly. "I am not a child anymore. I'm not going to hide and watch people die anymore. I've grown up and become stronger. I will defeat you just like my grandfather did and protect everyone!"
"Don't make me laugh," the Ten-tails replied to her lifting its giant hand over its head and bringing it down over Kyoko.
She ran along the canyon wall with very quick speed and dodged the Ten-tails' hand as it crushed the ground in which she was standing, collapsing the wall of that side of the canyon. She was now on the opposite side of the canyon of Lady Tsunade and the others and the Ten-tails was in between. It turned to face her, again, swinging its hand down into the section of the ground she was standing and again she dodged it. She had done a complete half-circle around the canyon from where she used to be standing and now the other ninja were in a group to her right.
"Gah," the Ten-tails exclaimed in frustration. "I will kill you now and then kill that girl and her family and everyone else in this pathetic world!"
"I'm not going to allow that to happen," Kyoko replied courageously. "There is not anything I wouldn't do for my friend, and if that means having to fight and destroy you, then so be it. I will protect her! She means everything to me!"
A white light started to develop around Kyoko's necklace and Kyoko herself, getting brighter and stronger as she spoke.
"I will protect everyone," she yelled again. "No more hiding! I will be strong! You represent everything I don't like! You are the result of ninja hate and greed. You represent everything negative in this world and I will beat you because of that! Positive feelings and energy is more powerful than anything! You can only get stronger by positive emotions and through wanting to protect your friends. That is why I am and always will be stronger than you!"
By now the light emitting from Kyoko's body had begun to light up the area around her. Even with the moon gone and the flames dying out, everyone could see fine as if it was daylight because of the light surrounding her.
"Now," Kyoko said in a low voice. "It's time you left this world forever."
"I will never leave this world again," the Ten-tails declared turning toward her. "You are just a weak pathetic girl who has no one. What damage do you possibly think you could you do to me?"
"You're wrong," she yelled back while performing hand signs to a jutsu no one had seen before. "I do have someone. I have a friend. Her name is Victorique…and even just one friend is enough to make me more powerful than ever."
The Ten-tails lunged at her as the light around Kyoko grew blindingly bright. Kyoko yelled out as she ran towards the Ten-tails, her arm pulled back behind her.
There were gasps of fear from Lady Tsunade's group as the five Kage, Sasuke, Itachi, the resurrected Shinobi, Sai, Sakura, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Ino, Neji, Tenten, Kiba, Rock Lee, Might Guy, Shino, Choji and many others watched on with shocked expressions.
"The Creation of all things ability," the Ten-tails suddenly realized, too late.
"And a ten beasts sealing technique," Kyoko replied grinning when she was inches from the Ten-tails. They were both suspended in the air and when Kyoko brought forth her pulled back hand, the white light expanded in all directions blinding everyone that was present.
Kakashi grunted while holding up his arms to block his eyes from the harsh light. "What is that light," he asked aloud through gritted teeth.
When Kyoko's hand impacted the Ten-tails, the white light became a force, almost like a very powerful gust of wind. It engulfed everything around her and in the canyon, and as it approached the other ninja, who had watched in awe, they all got knocked off their feet and seemingly blown away.
From far away it looked like a giant white explosion that blocked everything from view. The trees looked as if they were about to be blown right out of the ground and uproot.
The last thing Kyoko remembered was staring into the Ten-tails' face and being blinded by white light all around her. She suddenly thought that she was going to die and had destroyed everything from accidently causing a giant explosion and then everything for Kyoko abruptly turned black.
