Finally the moment has arrived. This will be the last chapter of Akatauki's Third Eye. I will begin writing a sequel immediately after this. It will be known as The Moonlit Third Eye. I want to thank all of you have read my story. And a special thanks to Priestess-of Jashin and Deidarakiller who have reviewed and helped and encouraged me in almost every chapter. Also thanks to those who read but not reviewed or reviewed less number of times. Please enjoy this last chapter.
"Kimiko-Sama, please come quick, a terrible thing has happened" cried Yuji as he burst into Kimiko's office.
"What's wrong?" asked Kimiko rushing beside him.
"About thirty of those trees we saw a week ago have grown all over Tsukigakure, if what you said last time is true, then we don't have much time till they explode" said Yuji as the two of them rushed out of the palace.
Arriving in the main district Kimiko saw tree after tree in every street. A few houses were even destroyed.
"No one's dead yet, they've all been taken to the temple" said Ichijo arriving next to Kimiko.
"We can't uproot this tree's "said Kimiko.
"What?" yelled Deidara, Yuji and Ichijo.
"We have to stop them from their source, that is to say, locate and kill the user" said Kimiko.
Saying so Kimiko used a teleportation jutsu and teleported to the tallest point, namely the Tsukigakure Palace.
"Tsukigan" she said scanning the entire city.
"Nothing unusual, hey wait" thought Kimiko.
She focused on one tree alone and saw that it had no life of its own was not alive, however the effects would be the same if they tried to destroy it.
"Now I get it, among all these only one tree is real, and the user has used a very stealthy and powerful duplication or puppetry technique to influence the other trees'' thought Kimiko.
"Earth Release: Natural Minaret Jutsu" said Kimiko as the ground around the palace began to crumble.
Suddenly a single tree behind the palace was lifted up from its position a second.
"That's the one" yelled Kimiko, "Deidara, Ichijo, forget the rest, get the tree in the back, the user is hiding inside it"
Upon hearing her voice the three rushed to the back side of the palace.
"That punk is in there? I'll blow him up" yelled Deidara creating a huge bomb and attaching it to the trunk of the tree.
"Wait Deidara, we have to wait till Kimiko-San gets here" said Yuji.
"Where is she? I didn't see her following us here did you?" asked Ichijo.
"Arrgghh I can't wait, I'm going to blow this tree up" yelled Deidara.
"Deidara wait," shouted Kimiko running up to the tree.
Then she spoke to the tree, "I know you are in there, you have one minute to show yourself before we make the entire tree explode" said Kimiko.
"I am warning you, you are surrounded, do not take us lightly" said Kimiko.
Just then the bark of the tree began to distort and a black hole opened up.
From that hole emerged a man of around 50 wearing a yukata and carrying a branch with bells tied on it.
"Brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, now I know who is behind these attacks" thought Kimiko.
"Who the hell are you and why are you attacking our village" yelled Ichijo.
"Answer us or I'll blow you up, hm" yelled Deidara.
"Greetings to the Tsukikage, my name is Sousuke Nokohara, my clan is an ancient and very talented one concerning growth and death of trees" said the man smiling.
"Who had ordered you to attack us?" asked Kimiko coldly.
"Shall I tell you what I am going to do next? I am going to walk straight out of the gates of this pathetic country, try and stop me if you can" said the man.
"Why you" began Deidara as Kimiko restrained him.
"It seems as if you are challenging me to a duel, Nokohara-San" she said.
"Indeed I am" said the man.
"Very well then, Deidara, Yuji and Ichijo please look after the people and make sure all the exits are sealed" said Kimiko.
After they went of Kimiko turned and saw Sousuke had vanished.
"He must be here somewhere" thought Kimiko.
Suddenly a hand appeared out of the ground below her and grabbed her leg.
"What the?" Yelled Kimiko as a tar like substance began to creep up her legs, she found she couldn't move an inch.
Then Sousuke appeared behind her. He held a kunai to her throat and whispered, "Liked that? How about I kill you in a painful way so that you can rot in hell?" he drawled.
"Or how about I destroy you so badly that your body won't pollute this planet anymore" came a voice from behind him.
Sousuke turned around startled only to get a chakra enhanced punch in his face which sent him flying.
As he got up he saw the figure with the tar still paralyzed but slowly from above it was flickering out like a light till it disappeared.
Once again Sousuke disappeared but this time Kimiko was ready for him.
"Painful Sky Leg Disaster" said Kimiko copying the move she had seen sundae doing a few weeks ago.
A huge crater formed over the area. Debris, grass, wood, rocks, sand, pebbles went flying in every direction.
In the middle of the crater lay Sousuke looking crushed but still breathing.
"Moon Style: Dark Sphere of the Void" said Kimiko creating a small dark ball around her hands and making it larger and larger till it was as big as a house.
"Just a word of advice before you go into the next world, over confidence is not a virtue" said Kimiko slamming the sphere down on Sousuke.
The sphere revolved and with a great flash of dark light, it disappeared.
Just then all the village folk came over to her and bowed low.
"Thank you for saving us Tsukikage-Sam" they all chorused.
"Why did you kill him? Now we shall never know who had sent him" said Ichijo looking frustrated.
"There's no need, I already know who had sent him, and what's more, I will be meeting that person very soon" said Kimiko.
Kimiko and Deidara sat cuddling together on the balcony of Kimiko's room.
The sky was lit by the crescent moon and a lovely pure smell was floating through the area.
"Hey Kimiko, you'll always stay with me right?" asked Deidara.
"Right, I'll never leave you" said Kimiko moving closer to him.
"You don't think I'm a freak do you. Hm?"asked Deidara looking sadly at his palms.
" Don't you ever think of that again, you are a gem of a person, there is nothing freaky about you, in fact you're quite cute" said Kimiko.
"Yeah, I know, girls fall for my handsome looks everywhere" said Deidara grinning.
"Right, you narcissist" said Kimiko whacking him.
"Kimiko" said Deidara quietly.
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"I love you too, Deidara, I love you too"
