Chapter 38: Byakuya's Tears
They all watched in mixed emotions as they saw Byakuya, changed appearance. Appearance otherworldly, but royalty in appearance. With grace and air of aristocracy they haven't seen before.
"This is my forbidden technique. Prepare to witness my true strength…", Byakuya said in an apathetic manner just like Kaguya.
"Wh-what's going on?", Kiba shouted.
"Na-Na-Naruto-kun?", Hinata said with worry.
Even Sasuke who was present, was shocked by the sudden transformation. Byakuya's extremely long hair was flying in the wind, scattering in different directions as it was extremely long. Out of the blue, he used it to attack Gaara. Seeing this, he cut the hairs using his sand. Byakuya then sent another wave of hair and Gaara was enveloped in it. He was pushed back with extreme force that he was sent flying across a nearby wall.
Genma, the proctor, looked on in shock as Byakuya had an immense amount of strength to do that. Soon, he trembled when he saw Byakuya was very fast. He was 10 inches above the ground, levitating going towards Gaara while his extremely long hair that cannot be measured dragged across the ground. Then he stopped abruptly.
"Gaara of the Sand Waterfall. Let's see how much chakra you have".
Byakuya then changed his Seireigan into Byakugan earning more gasps from the crowd.
"His forehead eye, a combination of the Sharingan and the legendary Rinnegan that cannot be understood. Now, he has a Byakugan?", the Third thought.
"So, you really have a lot of chakra, huh?".
The Third Hokage then remembered Minato and Kushina as he looked towards Byakuya with suspiciousness.
"What do you want with my chakra?", Gaara asked angrily.
"Chakra…No, jinchuuriki. It's futile to say that word when all you just do is tamper with it without knowing its true meaning. This world, this land, is my precious nursery. I cannot let it be damaged further by you. That's why, let's finish this fighting".
He then focused his Byakugan towards Gaara and sent out needles of his hair. The red head covered himself with a shield of sand and Byakuya then stopped.
He looked impassively towards the Shukaku jinchuuriki and said, "Kaguya's chakra… You act triumphantly just because you have a special case of ability. However, no matter what kind of chakra you possess; all chakra belongs to me and me alone".
Gaara gritted his anger while he stood up and transferred towards a different location in the arena.
"Once more…", he said as he flew towards Gaara. "I shall reunify all chakra!", he then screamed.
He then clashed towards Gaara using his chakra arm. Gaara then defended himself with his shield of sand. His chakra arm was extremely strong the same to the shield of sand by Gaara. Gaara then jumped back then used his hand to send out of arms made of sand. Byakuya then did the same.
They exchanged blows, chakra arms versus sand arms. The crowd had their mouths wide open with the fight. It grew intense and intense. Gaara then screamed with all his might as he fought to try to push back Byakuya but just failed. Then, a lone chakra arm of the Otsutsuki hit him and he flew away. Byakuya was glowing with much chakra into his whole body as he witnessed that the Gaara he had hit turned into a clone.
He was "unaware" that the real Gaara was behind him. "Sand Waterfall Funeral"
A large amount of sand was going to Byakuya but he merely raised his arm then absorbed it. Gaara then widened his eyes in surprise as his attack was futile and he hasn't succeeded killing his enemy. With the pressure, he was sent flying back again. The red head then stood as he eyed his opponent in anger as he cannot kill the man.
"Naruto…You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Your appearance isn't the same anymore. Tell me, is this the forbidden technique you've been talking earlier?", Kakashi thought.
A rift then opened behind Gaara unknowingly.
"Don't tell me…", Sakura said as her eyes widened in shock.
"What is it?", Ino asked.
"That jutsu", she replied.
Byakuya entered the rift he opened beside him then he emerged behind Gaara. The red head sensed this and he was paralyzed with shock. He slowly turned and faced Byakuya and he cannot move or say a word with immense fear.
"Gaara is losing. Just who is this Naruto?", the Kazekage said.
Byakuya then reached out towards Gaara, holding his cheek and slightly tilting his head upwards. As he looked on the red head, he saw his past similar to the one he experienced in Konoha. He cannot control it. Tears were falling from his eyes as he remembered how he was maltreated in Konoha, how he was neglected, harmed, beaten and stabbed to death. How the truth of him being a jinchuuriki was kept and how his own parents left him to be alone.
"The people who should care for me", Byakuya thought. "Now-witness how cruel I can be".
He then unleashed Purple Zetsu towards Gaara's body, wrapping the latter with his mass. The purple mass covered half of Gaara's body and while the other one was free.
"You're taking my chakra", Gaara said angrily.
As Purple Zetsu fully manifested in Gaara's half part of the body, he said. "It seems Byakuya is reluctant to kill the likes of you, Gaara of the Sand Waterfall. Isn't that sweet? He who was hated by this village, such a poor pitiable child he was".
"Why is he hated in this village?", Gaara asked.
"It appears you don't have the slightest clue", Purple Zetsu answered.
"You purple mass, just who and what are you?"
"I am Byakuya's child".
"What!", Sakura shouted. Everyone was silent and listening to the conversation the two fighters have in front of the arena. Even the Third is completely bewildered by the unusual abilities that Byakuya is exhibiting.
"His tone has changed", Gaara thought.
"I recorded everything that happened to Father, before he was even born and guided him. The tale of Konoha, is the tale of Father's hatred towards everyone".
"Huh, what are you talking about?", Gaara said.
"Since you are aware that you are jinchuuriki, Father is also the same as you. It's rare for two jinchuuriki to meet each other. But you want to kill him, instead of joining him".
"I kill to prove my existence".
"You really don't know that Father's suffering is much worse than you. You know nothing Gaara. Let me tell you his tale while I suck out all of your chakra".
Everyone just looked on towards Byakuya as he was still crying more.
"Like I told you earlier, Father's suffering is much worse compared to you. Father's father sealed the Kyuubi within his own son. Apparently, it was a complex seal that will the beast's chakra to mix with my father's own. The seal made my father's life into a living hell and upon learning the truth from Mizuki he raged. Because of learning the truth, he gave birth to me for I could avenge him. I shall now show everyone was father is really like. By killing all of you".
