Chapter 15 - A Fight in the Past Part 2
"RAWWWWWWWWWWWR" a deep roar emanated from Yagura as Mei winced in front of him, batter, bruised and trying to get to her feet. Around his form, dark red chakra began swirling around his feet.
"Mei-sama! Are you ok?" Ao equally bruised rushed to her side, grabbing her arm and helping her up.
Mei huffed and wiped the blood out of her eyes, which was probably going to scar over. "Yeah, I'll be fine Ao, did Matsuya make it out of the blast, ok?"
Several feet to her right, a hand shot out of some rubble, and Matsuya sat up, rubbing the side of his head "damn that hurt." His vest and shirt were ruined, but he seemed ok otherwise.
"Matsuya, this is no time to be lying down!" She hopped over to him and helped him get to his feet.
"It's not my fault; he hits like an elephant! " Matsuya got into a fighting stance, "and if we don't figure something out, we're all dead." He grimaced as Yagura's chakra made another black sphere "prepare yourselves, here comes another one!"
"Mei-sama!" Ao burst into the strategy room with a brisk pace. Mei looked up from the numerous papers she had been reading over.
"Ao, I read the reports from the scouts who watched your fight earlier, how are you? How is your team?"
"Alistair was a force to be reckoned with Mei-sama, but nothing we couldn't handle, it was his acquaintance that has me worried. He moved with a speed and power I have never seen before. I would go so far as to say he's much stronger than Yagura."
Mei grimaced "yes, I read over that part specifically, I have some spies trying to get info on this person. This En-En."
Ao bowed, "with all due respect Mei-sama, I don't think that will go anywhere. I don't believe he is aligned with Yagura and his purist. Still, more importantly, he told Chojuro and me that in three days, Yagura is going to invade. Normally I wouldn't trust such information, but my gut is telling me he's being truthful."
Mei sighed and tossed Ao a brown folder "reports indicate Yagura is gathering his forces en mass, which adds up if he's planning an invasion. I've sent the call out, pulling all our ninja back. Tell me, in your opinion, how likely are we to survive?"
Ao walked over to a map of Kiri, where their forces were in conjecture to the purists. "If Yagura throws all of his ninjas at us and joins the fray himself, it will be a long-fought battle, but in the end, it will be a slaughter of massive proportions. We need to think of a plan Mei-sama."
"Maybe I can be of service?" Both heads turned towards a set of amber eyes that had just entered.
"Matsuya you should still be resting" Ao scowled, his student really didn't care about his own well being.
Mei walked over and hugged him "it's good to see you up Matsuya." She then slapped the back of his head, catching him off guard and sending him to the floor. A tick mark grew on her forehead "now what are you doing out of the hospital?"
Matsuya chuckled as he got to his feet "just a cracked rib Mei-sama, I've done more with worse. Besides, it looks like we have an invasion to plan for?"
A dark look entered Mei's eyes. "Yes, that seems to be the case, but we don't have the manpower needed to fight a battle that big. The most we can do now is recall and relocate to the cave systems, and hope that Yagura isn't able to find us there."
Matsuya looked outward to the town, it was still a ramshackle heap, but it had come a long way since they had started rebuilding it. "No, Mei-sama, I don't think we should do that."
Mei raised an eyebrow "oh, do you have a better idea?"
"Well, he's most likely going to go for a head-on attack, coming from the northwest. I say we booby trap the living hell out of the surrounding countryside, and fight fire with fire."
"What do you mean, Matsuya?" Ao didn't like the look in his eyes. Whenever he got that look it didn't bode well for anybody . "Yagura has three times the amount of ninja we can muster."
"No, no, Ao-sensei, I meant fight fire with literal fire."
With Jezebel in her mind
Jezebel backed into a corner of the room she was in. Being on the third floor wouldn't do anything, not against the explosion corps. They wouldn't care about civilian casualties, she was in here so they would just level the building in hopes of killing her or drawing her out.
*Boom*
The building shook and Jezebel could feel it leaning ever so slightly. They were taking out the support columns, she could hear people screaming and running out of the building. She also recognized the sound of footfalls heading her direction. Looks like they were going to draw her out. She held her metallic claws close to her chest, resolving herself.
She rolled out of the room, throwing several shurikens, two bodies fell, only one of them was wearing a flak jacket. She backflipped swiping with her claws, another body fell this one a genin no older than thirteen. She looked around wildly, the hallway was deserted now save for the bodies.
*BOOM* The hotel trembled now, forcing Jezebel to regain her balance. Another blow like that and this whole building was going to collapse. She glanced up, 'I don't think I'll be able to survive three stories falling on top of me. I need to find a way out of here.' She could try the fire escape but there were sure to be people watching it.
The building shook one more time and that was all she needed as she turned around leaping out of an open window and out of the building. During the middle of her leap, she was aware of several shadows in the alleyway below her. She landed on the side of a building next to the hotel and planted her feet firmly before her running straight up. She saw a speck of what looked to be white clay falling down softly, but she paid it no mind.
That is until it blew up, knocking Jezebel down, crashing into the ground as several shadows blocked the alleyway and cut off any escape route. She was vaguely aware of one of them talking but the fall had left her disoriented and the world was spinning before her. "... are accused of several accounts of murder and have been found guilty, there is no hope of redemption for you, The Tschuikage has ordered us to capture you for sentencing but has no hesitations about you being killed. Now surrender and come peacefully or we will not hesitate."
Jezebel shakily got to her feet using the wall behind her as support "I didn't...I won't...ugh." she tried speaking but the words came out as a barely audible mumble, she watched one ninja in their ranks step forward, some blonde dude..or was that a woman? She didn't have time for that, she brought her claws up in weak defense.
"Don't worry captain, I'll take care of her, I've recently created a new masterpiece and I've been dying to try it and show you my new art. After all art...IS AN EXPLOSION!"
She was vaguely aware that he had thrown something in her direction, followed by a giant flash and such an intense heat! Before everything went dark.
Somewhere dark and creepy
Alistair awoke in what appeared to be a cave, dark and damp he slowly got up, he had no idea where he was or were En-En was. Well, that last part was a lie, he could sense the chaotic energy somewhere out of the room. Preferably near the exit.
"Oh good, you're awake." With a startled yelp, Alistair back peddled and tripped, En-En had somehow materialized in front of him in a split second without him even noticing. He couldn't stop himself, he could feel his whole body shaking. "Soooooo... I figure you might have some questions for me?"
"How did you escape hell? Your cage was said to be the most secure in the entirety of Hell! The only one near the edges."
En-En chuckled "well it WAS the most secure in all of Hell. Covered in runes and seals, most of which don't even exist in this universe." He saw the confused look on Alistair's face "oh don't worry about it, but to answer you're question, those fools that call themselves gods messed with time and upset a certain individual who decides to release me."
"But why? Did he hope to get something out of it?"
En-En shrugged, "maybe, but he was too weak to control my mind, which is what he had tried to do. I don't know why he thought he could take me when he was wearing such an ugly shade of green and he had such a weird hat too."
That worried Alistair, who in the hell was strong enough to break En-En out of the most reliable, most locked up part of hell. "Ok next question why did you knock me out? I was coming willingly."
En-En shrugged again "well you were too busy trying not to shit yourself to actually come with me."
"Right" he sweatdropped; this was the legendary Niyari to Neko?
"Of course I am, who else would I be?" Alistair took a step back out of surprise "Oh please don't be surprised, yes I can read your mind. By the way," En-En who had turned his back to Alkstair in favor of reading over some paper threw something behind him "took that from the blue-haired kid, seemed like you could use it."
Standing almost straight up, with its tip embedded in the earth was Hiwamekare, Alistair could do nothing but stare "this will be a powerful weapon indeed. Now, why are you trying to recruit me and what for?"
En-En's shoulders straightened up "well that blonde kid you were contracted to kill, Naruto Uzumaki. He intrigues me. Not that you need to know this but there are many rules when it comes to being a god and ruling over a world. To save you time there are" he lifted up his arm, Alistair couldn't see his hand but could only imagine En-En was holding up three fingers " three significant rules. First, unless the world they rule is appropriately prepared, they are not allowed to physically be in the world they order."
He vanished "Second" Alistair whipped around, En-En was right behind him "no mortal being is allowed inside the divine realm, which exists outside of heaven and hell. And third, only under extreme circumstances can a god or goddess turn back the hands of time and only by an hour at the most. In sending Naruto back in time Kami and Shinigami have broken all three of these rules. I want to know why, and you're going to help me."
Alistair started sweating. "I'm not going to say no to this, but you do know I was originally sent on this mission by the Shinigami correct?"
En-En made a vast sweeping motion to the cave around them "and do you see the Shinigami here? No, you don't. I can hide you from their presence as I have done to myself. Not that you have a choice, I could just as easily override your free will and make you help me, but I don't want mindless drones. They tend to lack certain creativity I like in my underlings."
"Ok, what do you want me to do?" Alistair had to play this carefully, En-En was not someone he had any hope of fighting. But at the same time if he ran into the Shinigami again while En-En wasn't around that wasn't going to end well. Better play along while he still had the ability top, he didn't doubt En-En when he said he could control him.
"Simple, right now we wait for your companion Jezebel to wake up. I restored her memories, she should be reliving them still."
"Wait" Alistair interrupted. "I was told her memories got deleted?"
"Nah, just locked away deep inside her. Ooh shes gonna relive her time in hell too, that's gonna be interesting. I give it another day before she wakes up, that'll be right in the middle of Yagura's attack. Oh, now THAT is juicy, too bad we won't be there to see it."
With Jezebel
"And who the metaphorical fuck are you?" Jezebel glowered at the man before her, who looked back in equal disdain.
"My name's Alistair bitch, who are you?"
She narrowed her eyes. "Jezebel, no what the hell are we doing back in limbo?" She looked around into the endless expanse pf white surrounding them. She didn't know how long she had been in hell, but she was grateful for the break from eternal torture.
Alistair shrugged "I don't know, but it beats hell."
"Quiet right you two." Both figures jumper as a skeletal man wearing a black robe fazed into existence "I have summoned you too for a particular reason." The shinigami waved his hand and an image of a boy no older than maybe twelve or thirteen appeared, he was blond with blue eyes and what appeared to be whisker marks on his face.
"I am sending you back to the mortal world to kill this kid. If you succeed you get to live again, do it fast and I might consider letting you leave hell."
Jezebel whistled "and what did this fucker do to piss you off so bad?"
"He messed up a plan I had been working on for a very long time. His name is Naruto Uzumaki and he lives in Konoha. Oh and just to stop you two from getting any funny ideas I will be watching. I will be aware, if you deviate from your mission or abandon it entirely I will pull you back to hell and it will be many times worse for you."
Before they could answer him he waved his hand again and they faded away, a small 'wooshing' sound announced the entrance of his sister. "hello sister, what can I do for you?" He wasn't surprised she knew, he had been hoping to wait a little bit but oh well, it couldn't be helped.
"I must first say I don't condone this brother, sending them risks corrupting the timeline even further."
Shinigami nodded "yeah that's an acceptable risk. But there's something else bothering you Kami."
"Yes, there is brother mine, why those two or more specifically why those two TOGETHER? It won't be long until one of them realizes or remembers the other from their past life."
Shinigami grinned or grinned as best as he could given the fact his face was nothing but a skull "they've been in hell too long, and they'll be going into different bodies, I sent them to take the bodies of two rouge shinobi who are already dead. They may connect the dots but that won't be for a while."
Kami turned around to leave but not before saying "Fine brother but if they do something drastic and actually kill Naruto you will pay. We can't afford to be breaking all these rules. It won't be long before we draw the attention of Hildolfr himself."
"Do not worry sister I have a backup plan, Naruto won't die."
With Yagura the Morning of the Invasion
Yagura sat a couple of miles away from Mozuken no Kiri, huffing and his clothes were slightly hinged, the entire forest had been made into a death trap by the resistance, and he had lost too many men already. They hadn't even gotten to the fight yet! Their little fake village was only two miles away, and from what reports that had made it to him said, that bitch Mei had called all of her troops back.
He heard shuffling behind him, he turned and found one of his captains. "Ah, captain report. How many men have we lost to this accursed forest?"
"Right Mizukage-sama, with the last summoning trap being counted we have lost over two hundred-seventy ninjas. Two captains were among the dead, Mizukage-sama and seven were anbu black ops."
Yagura shook his head "that is way too many, we are mighty Kiri ninja, these are just ramshackle bums who can barely fight. That's why they resort to petty tricks. They may have evened the numbers by a small but, but we are the mighty ninjas of the bloody mist!"
Yagura was raising his voice, amplified by chakra. All of his ninjas would be able to hear him. The trash in Mozuken might as well but they were as good as dead. "They are cowards who think they can get away with being filth! They won't even fight us face to face let alone as a ninja! Some of you will die, but die knowing you made Kiri a better place alright? And if you are to die, do not let it be with an unbloody kunai!"
There was a loud roar as well over three hundred ninjas started rushing by Yagura, all determined, all looking to fighting. And all willing to d-
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOOOOM*
His face dropped as in front of him, the entire forest was lighting up in an unusually sized blast, men and women alike were literally being blown apart. Their charge forcefully stopped, all his ninja looked around wary and cautious.
He growled, scanning not just the ground but also the trees. Explosive seals littered everything his eyes could see. "Of course they planted 's not like they walk their dogs out here." But he could handle land mines. He made a few hand signs "Water Style: Rushing Flood!"
In front of him a giant wave formed and crashed in the forest, remotely setting off the mines.
He wouldn't be able to hit them all and he would lose more men along the way, but hey what was war without loss? He could make up the numbers after he unified Kiri. Or at least he wanted to, but the moment his torrent of water went about ten feet past the front lines of his ninja, multiple portions of the earth rose up to meet it.
Yagura scowled 'of course they planned for this' he turned to one of his generals "tell-all front line ninja to use water clones until we clear the village we must not stop-" Yagura jumped out of the way as several orange jagged objects flew from the woodworks, impaling a man through his chest.
"Hitsugaya" he growled. If they were throwing long-range attacks into the mix while they were trying to avoid land mines they'd be sitting ducks. "They're trying to turn this into a war of attrition. If we can get to them than this war is over!"
It didn't matter what he said now, he could see it in the eyes of his ninja, they were starting to get nervous. He had promised them an easy win, now they couldn't take two steps without taking caution. Yagura needed to change things fast; if they used water clones all the way to Mizuken then his ninja would be exhausted before the actual battle!
He scowled again, he didn't want to do this, using its power meant acknowledging this filth as an actual opponent. But if he wanted a swift victory he would need it. He clenched his fist as dark chakra started swirling around him.
In the village Ao who had his eyes closed in concentration stumbled backward in shock, catching the attention of those in the room he was in. Mei gave him a sharp look "Ao, report?"
He quickly got to his feet "right Mei-sama, Yagura is starting to use the Sanbi's chakra, it appears he's going to-"
KRA-BOOOOOOOMM
A giant shockwave sent tremors through the small building, all present stopping to catch their balance, Mei ran to the window, she could see smoke rising in the distance. "AO WHAT WAS THAT?"
"He's used the Sanbi's chakra to detonate a huge explosion of demonic chakra, and... brace yourselves he's doing it again!"
Ao ducked as another loud explosion sent more tremors throughout Mizuken. "The demonic chakra is receding Mei-sama, either he needs to recharge that technique or he's conserving chakra."
"Dammit," Mei hit the windowsill she was looking out of "Ao send out the message, manually set off all remaining explosives and use the smokescreen as an ambush, send all ninja, the final battle starts now! You know the drill if it moves it dies if it dies they move on!"
"Right Mei-sama!" Ao left, taking all the ninja in the room with him save for one blue-haired youth.
"Is that wise Mei-sama? If we do this there will be a considerable death toll. And regardless of damage to the forest is your worry then why did we set explosives in the first place?"
"The forest surrounding Mizuken is Kiri's largest source of lumber Chojuro, we carefully set the explosions to minimize damage to the forest, Yagura would destroy the whole thing to be safe and certain. If he does that then there's no hope of rebuilding after this war."
Mei swiftly walked past Chojuro stopping at the door. "It looks like the bloody Mist will see slaughter one more day. Chojuro, how have you attuned to the Kiba blades?"
Chojuro pulled out the two swords, "Raiga-sama wasn't pleased to hand them over, but he did none the less, Raiton isn't my strongest nature but I'll manage Mei-sama."
"Good, I have an important mission for you after this battle involving the Seven Swordsmen so don't die ok?"
Chojuro nodded before rushing past Mei, who somberly watched his retreating form. Today would see many families weeping on both sides. She let a single tear slide down her face before resolving herself.
Yagura didn't know what happened, but after the second bijudama a chain of explosions went off in front of him, sending many pillars of smoke billowing into the air. He must have hit the right spot. Or so he wanted to think, but just as that thought was settling in his mind, a barrage of many hundred kunai and shuriken came raining from the smoke.
"Ambush!" He shouted as he started making coral, and just in time as several thudded into the makeshift shield, only inches from his face.
There was a roar as rebellion ninja came out of the woodwork, throwing jutsu and weapon in a frenzy. He didn't have time to shout out his order as his own men retaliated. The battle had truly begun. Yagura back stepped as a blade swung down in front of him, his first opponent some young chunnin.
A swift placement of his staff sent the young girl flying, probably with a broken rib. He pointed his staff in the direction of a group of rebellion ninja, several chunks of coral sent flying dispersing them, killing at least two. He didn't have time for this; he needed to find Mei and Matsuya once they were dead. This battle was won.
He ducked and sent another girl flying, and in the same motion cracked his staff over some guys head, he slumped to the ground. This crowd would only harass him, nothing more. By now both sides had clashed and anywhere he looked people were fighting and bodies were dropping. It wasn't easy to spot which team was winning the bloody struggle. Yagura aimed to change that, and fast.
"Report, where is the enemy commander?" His voice rang out over the fighting crowd, holding a presence even the rebels acknowledged, and ever so lightly the fighting died down. He jumped back as a molten wave of magma flopped onto the position he had just fled.
"It has been awhile Yagura-sama!" Mei sneered as she landed a few feet beside the now hardening magma. Beside her landed Matsuya and Ao.
"Ah if it isn't Terumi and Histugaya, the biggest traitors Kiri ever saw. How about you make this short and easy and give up, that way you have a chance at a non-painful death?"
Matsuya stepped up, the fighting having all but ceased around them as the two leaders met in the epicenter of both armies. "Sorry Yagura-sama, but I can't let you hurt Kiri's people any more than you already have!"
Yagura sneered "hurt? I've been saving Kiri Histugaya!"
"Saving it?" He shouted back equal parts insulted and offended "saving it from what? What makes it unique? What made it an acknowledgeable threat in the last great war?"
"I've been saving it from you freaks, you and anybody else unpure have been poison in Kiri's blood for too long! Always thinking you're better than the rest of us, demanding special treatment just because you're different, you freaks make me sick and it's about time I put you ALL out for good! "
Mei snorted "yeah sure, you're one to talk Yagura, you're the Jinchuriki of the Sanbi. You are more different than anybody else here, and from what I can tell, you're the only one demanding anything here."
"I am a necessary evil Terumi. Sent here to kill you and this little army of yours."
Mei raised an eyebrow "oh so now you're divine retribution? Please Yagura, all you amount to is a child throwing a temper tantrum."
Yagura pointed his staff at the two "enough! This pointless chatter gets neither of us any closer to victory. Neither of us is going to give up and this war is better fought with action than words. Agreed?"
Mei got into here fighting stance "agreed Yagura."
"Before we start I do have a question for you Ao-san. Don't think I haven't acknowledged your presence."
Ao stepped up "yes Yagura-sama?"
"Years ago you were one of my most valued, loyal and devoted hunter nin, all I had to do was point at a target and I had an assurance they would die. And even when you retired, the moment I offered you a position teaching anbu and more hunter nin, you accepted without hesitation. I thought you the perfect ninja."
"And your question Yagura-sama?"
"Why side with them when you were so loyal to me?"
Ao bowed from his waist "I am sorry for betraying you Yagura-sama, but I am a ninja of Kirigakure no Sato! I fight for her benefit and serve in her best interests. I am loyal to Kiri, and what's best for her. When you changed Yagura-sama you stopped being the best thing." He stood up straight and pulled out a kunai "and right now ending your tyrannical reign is the best thing I can do for Kiri."
Yagura shook his head "fine, all three of you better come at me at the same time because that's the only way it'll be a fair fight!" He crouched down, bringing his staff in front of him, and leaped forward at the three ninjas. All combatants by this point had stopped entirely and instead stared at the ensuing fight.
Yagura brought his staff down in an overhead swing breaking the ground as Ao stepped left, and lunged forward with a blade of his own. Yagura ducked back but was unable to stop Ao's other hand from swiping him in the rib cage. A glancing blow, but the resistance cheered as Yagura flinched. Ao followed up with a sweeping kick that knocked Yagura off his feet, and a palm thrust that sending backward, rolling on the ground. Louder cheers followed, Matsuya and Mei stared at Ao in surprise.
Ao stood up straight "there was a reason your predecessor offered me the Anbu general position and subsequently gave me the lead hunter nin position when I asked, Yagura-sama."
Yagura growled, clenching his fist, he got up "and then there's that, you're a traitor Ao-san! Fighting me to the death in front of the entire Kiri ninja force, Loyalist and Resistance. Why do you still call me -sama?"
Ao stared back passively "for the same reason you add -san to my name, mutual respect. You still are the reigning Kage of the Mist Village, with more than enough power to back it up."
Yagura would have continued the conversation but he was put on the defensive as Matsuya appeared out of thin air, amber blades popping out of his wrists. He stabbed at Yagura, who blocked with his staff. But Matsuya grinned as he roared with all of his might, his blades embedded into Yagura's staff, and with all of his strength pulled to his left.
For Yagura it was either be thrown with his staff or lose it, so he went with it, and he was being flung right into an amorphous blob of magma. Yagura didn't hesitate, he started spinning his staff in rapid circles, water forming at the ends. "Water style: Crystal Mirror!" A clear reflected glass appeared in front of Yagura as he crashed into the blob, before appearing on the other side to Mei's surprise.
She barely had time to bring up her arms as Yagura's staff cracked into them, sending her skidding back. But as he was landing he swiped several times in Mei's direction, blades of water flying from his staff. Mei back stepped avoiding a few but one managed to hit her, slicing part of her robe, revealing most of her left side(including some side cleavage. you perverts).
Catcalls and wolf-whistled came from the purist side, but Mei didn't have time to be embarrassed, Yagura was right in front of her, doing the same technique but she countered with her own. For every swipe of his staff, her arms swung and a close quarters battle began, with neither having an advantage over the other.
Whips and crescents and blades of water collided with each other until the small fighting it was covered in a light shower, it looked like Yagura was starting to win until Mei's water turned into blades of magma. The light shower turned into a thick mist. But the mist started spinning in a counter-clockwise vortex before it made a tornado around Mei's form.
Her melodic voice rang out "Terumi Kindan no Geijutsu: Kiri Kiba no Ryu!" (Terumi Forbidden Arts: Mist Fanged Dragon) the tornado roared as it took the shape of a dragon, and shot towards Yagura, picking up loose rock, gravel, and weapons that had been dropped by injured or dead fighters.
Yagura's response was raising his staff saying "Suiton: Sango no Gekihen!" (Water Style: Coral Upheaval) Rising from the ground to meet Mei's dragon was a straight line of light orange and pink coral. They met and clashed, most onlookers having to use chakra to plant themselves to the ground with chakra or be pushed away. Most managed to do this successfully but some were flung back.
"Stop holding back Yagura, I've seen you put effort into a fight, you used the Sanbi's chakra earlier why aren't you using it now?"
Yagura jumped as Matsuya rushed past him, and he kicked him in the back before calling out "I don't need what makes me special to beat you Terumi, the Sanbi was only a step I used to become Mizukage!"
He spun around and blocked a strike from Ao, who had been trying to sneak up on him, one swipe broke Ao's guard, and another sent him into the crowd. He ducked and jabbed backward, shoving his staff into Matsuya's gut, and swinging knocking him in the head. Matsuya hit the ground dazed, leaving only him and Mei.
"And we're back to square one Terumi, just you and me and-" Yagura's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he fell forward, Ao a step behind him his eye patch gone and his Byakugan revealed to the world.
"Ao what did you just do?" Everyone single ninja was staring at him, both purist and resistance. Where had he come from? How did he do that, to anybody that saw him all he did was make the tiger sign and then Yagura fell.
"I saw him with my byakugan Mei-sama, a powerful *huff*" Ao fell to his knees, and covered his Byakugaj eye, sweating profusely.
Mei rushed over to him, and as she did Purist began dropping their weapons or if they didn't have one falling to their own knees. The resistance roared with cheers. Mei leaned over and helped Ao up "Ao what happened? Are you ok?"
"I am fine Mei-sama, my byakugan let me see it, a powerful genjutsu had been placed on Yagura. If my suspicions are correct, it has been on him for a long time. It was what changed him, I used up almost all of my chakra dispelling it. I think you'll find Yagura waking up very confused."
"Well that's no fun, figuring it out before he died." It was said in almost a child-like dissapointment, but those words had so much power in it every one couldnt help but look as En-En seemed to just BE there.
"En-En!" Matsuya growled and dashed forward, only for Mei to grab his shoulder and shake her head.
"Hello En-En, i'm Mei Terumi you had a run in with my ninja a few days ago."
En-En shrugged "I don't care, I wanted to see a show and instead you give me a four year old's play. I'm disappointed, but what should worry you lot" his words were now directed at both armies "is now I'm bored. So mind-numbingly bored."
"What did you do to Jezebel you monster?" Matsuya shouted, stuck between wanting to get answers and knowing he couldn't get them.
"Oh her? Eh nothing you'll ever get to know. Speaking of" he snapped his finger "I know what i can do" he pointed his finger at Yagura's unconscious form and a small beam of light emitted from his finger pierced his back. "Now let's see what happens when a Biju goes berserk, oh oh, stop him from actually forming to!" A green light hit Yagura this time. "I wanna know what a biju can do in a human body!"
Dark chakra swirled around Yagura's form as his body slowly started to lift up, "Anybody contain him now!" Mei shouted in a panick as magma wrapped around Yagura, hardening quickly. Matsuya wasn't far behind her as he made the boar sign before slamming his hands on the ground, and amber rose to create a dome over Yagura.
Several walls of earth followed, and for a minute the entire construct imprisoning Yagura shook for second, before settling down. "Oh" En-En said dejectedly "I expected more out of-"
CRACK
CRACK
CRABOOOOM
Coral erupted from the construct, before a flash of movement dashed out of the coral. A ninja on the purist side gasped as Yagura's fist went through his chest, dark orange chakra covering his body, three straight tails forming out of the back. Yagura growled before moving his hand to the right.
It tore through the mans abdomen, and when he slashed a blade of water cut through six more purist, before he turned around and opened his mouth, black amd red chakra converging into a small sphere in front of it. "RUN" Mei shouted, turning around just as Yagura fired it. It hit the ground right behind Mei, and a giant explosions swallowed half the running ninja. A giant ploom of smoke soaring to the heavens as men and woman cried out.
Back in Mizuken, some minutes ago
Jezebel opened her eyes, she was in a familliar hospital room, she groaned and grabbed her forhead. "Right this is where i met Matsuya when learned i lost my memories. Wait..." her eyes widened, she knew who she was! She remembered everything! Then tears formed in her eyes as she grabbed at both sides of her head, 'I remember everything... including the memeroies of'..."Alistair" she growled looking around.
Something was off here. She was in the hospital but she didn't hear anything. 'Strange, where is everyone? This hospital should be bustling, but I don't hear a thing.'
She got up and walked to her door, a nurse was just down the hall, "hey" she called out frightening the lady "where is everybody? Why's it so quiet?"
The nurse ran up to Jezebel "ah Jezebel-san i was told to tell you if you woke up to meet with Mei-sama, but I don't know what to do now."
"What do you mean now? I'm going to Mei."
"No you don't understand..." she quickly told Jezebel about Yagura's invading force "...and that was just under an hour ago that Mei ordered all the ninja to clash with Yagura's forces."
'Shit, what do I do now? It's not like I owe them anything right? Well Matsuya did look out for me while I was vulnerable. But with En-En on the loose Kami and Shinigami will be to busy to look for me and-'
CRASH
Jezebel looked out the window was that a tornado she could see off in the distance? Even from here she could feel the power behind the technique. 'Fine I'll help with this battle and then go off on my own, I have to find Alistair and make him pay.'
She ran out of the hospital, applying lightning chakra to her feet, speeding her up considerably. She had just made it half way there when she had to stop as a giant explosion rocketed the entire forest. That was demonic chakra she could feel, pure and full of hate she sped up.
She landed just in time to see Ao picking up Mei, and Matsuya coming out of a pile of rubble. She was relieved to see they had survived this mess. She looked past them and saw Yagura his mouth open to fire some type of technique at the still recovering ninja, which for some reason pissed her off to no end.
"Like hell I'll let you hurt them!" Dark red lightning covered Jezebel's body as Yagura fired.
'Shit' Matsuya thought. He raised his hand to form an amber shield but the bomb was coming to fast, he wouldn't be able to build one that was hard enough in time.
Until he heard the crackle and a feminine figure appeared and knocked a hand back. "Forbidden style:" a familiar voice called out, making him smile "Demonic Lightning Glove!" Jezebel cocked her fist back and hit the bijudama dead center before sending it back at Yagura.
Yagura growled and howled as he tried to stop the jutsu from hitting him, but it was all for naught as his own bijudama hit him square in the chest, sending him flying into the air at a sharp angle before it detonated in midair.
His body fell to the ground, out cold and unmoving. All the surviving onlookers cheered as victory was won, and the purist quickly in the distance.
Off in the distance, En-En watched frustrated, "hey, no fair! That's cheating!" He shouted to nobody, but raised his hand aiming it straight at Jezebel "fine then if you want to ruin my fun, I'll just ruin you, and to think I actually helped you." A white beam of light shot from his hand as he slowly started to sink into the ground "ah well, this doesn't change anything. The Heart will still be mine, this was only a temporary distraction."
Jezebel couldn't help but feel embarrassed as the resistance ninja praised her. But she sensed it, and turned just in time to see an attack headed straight at her, at her heart. Time seemed to slow down, her body moving millimeters in minutes. 'It figures I'd save everybody only to die, I should have just run when I had the chance."
There was nothing she could do now but accept her fate and started to close her eyes. Until she felt herself being pushed, and her eyes only opened until after she hit the ground and her a collective gasp.
"MATSUYA!" Her eyes snapped open. Lying on the ground, a softball sized hole in his stomach was Matsuya gasping for breath. Mei sank to her knees in disbelief.
Jezebel got up and quickly went over to him "what the fucking hell you goddamn dumbass? Why the fuck did you do that?" She promptly started trying her best to bandage his wound but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. Everybody could see Matsuya whispering in her ear.
"Don't say that you fool, you don't know me, or the things I've done...wha-..what..." was her response before her hair quickly shadowed her eyes "fine you idiot, I'll do it..." and she said something else but no one heard her, only Matsuya did.
Mei ran over "Matsuya! What happened? One second we win and now you're...you're..."
Matsuya turned to Mei "hey sunshine, don't cry you know I hate it when you cry."
"But you're dying Matsuya!" She cried out, all ninja staring somberly, even the Purists.
"Yeah it seems that way, but this is war right? And look we ended it and brought peace back to Kiri, which is all I asked for. It's up to you now ya know? Everyone's going to be looking to you to lead them, it's going to be hard but I know you can do it. I believe in you."
"But Matsuya I won't be able to do this without you." She was full on sobbing by this point.
"Please, you never needed me for anything Mei, you were strong enough on your own. Plus you have Jezebel here and Ao-sensei to guide you. You'll...be...fine.." having said that Matsuya gasped out one more breath before his head fell to the ground lifeless.
Mei got up, no emotion on her face. She turned to look at the crowd "to all Kiri ninja that can hear me this battle is over. This WAR is over. Too many families have suffered, too many friends have fallen, if you have any love for this nation then let's stop fighting! Let's start fixing this place, because now that the war is over, other Nations will start looking at us. Let's show them a unified Kiri!"
Several minutes of silence followed before one purist approached Mei, Jezebel grabbed her claws just in case but they weren't needed. He kneeled before Mei shouting "HAI Mizukage-sama!" One by one purist ninja kneeled and copied him, before resistance shinobi kneeled as well. Ao walked up to Mei, holding the Mizukage's hat.
"This is yours now, Mizukage-sama." He bowed as well holding it out. Mei donned it.
"First things first get an account of the dead and ALL injured shinobi go to Mozuken to get checked. After that we march to Kirigakure!" She walked over to Jezebel who was staring at Matsuya's body. "I assume you have your memories back, but i hope you'll be sticking around Jezebel-san?"
Jezebel stared at Mei "yes Mei-sama, but my name isn't Jezebel, it's Rozu."
And that's all folks, hope you liked it nothing else to say here except for a small omake at the beggings of my beta reader(ploytoid go check him out) until next time have fun.

"I told you ze landmines would work," a gruff voice said, smoking a cigarette.
"The Frenchies got a point Police Girl." Replied a deep voice sipping on some wine
"That's not my goddamn name, and you know it." Replied a big tittied blond.
