Feels like we're all breaking the borderline, whatever limits set has been broken once, and it is by nature that it will break its' own rules once again. Borderline, feels like we are venturing further from the edge of chaos where life thrives, and for a moment, we will feel as if we have shed all our limits. A moment's exaltion, is soon consumed by the haunts of limits, when they return to grapple us back, to where we belong, back behind the grills, where we can only watch limits happily breached by others.
As a prelude to a battle Naruto is not capable of winning on his own ability, we've known for long that we will have to interfere. Yet limits of his body will always hold him back, chain him to weakness and incapabilities. It's our hope, that we will find a way for him to go beyond these limitation.
Naruto rests, while his new friend in these lands watch carefully. One could tell he is still cautious of Naruto's intentions, and one could also understand. But so long as the ice is already broken, it is now for the flowers to bloom. The snow is gone, and comes a fertile field. It will be his own effort, to plant the flowering seeds, to sow the seeds of the future, where under it's shade, he will soon find shelter, or suffer in the empty void of a field. A few more days, the snow will come as decided by the winds of change, as fortold by the seers of nature.
But now, what the future holds, is only in the mind of the master. We only hope, it will be something better than execution.
Come now, oh white snow, and a fight awaits us when the first blizzards sweep through the land.
II
You've said you'd wake up... Sasuke. Yet you've ventured further from it, and broke so many hearts while doing it.
But power is not a form of awareness, not a form of understanding. Feels like you have misunderstood it, the term and the meaning of 'waking up.' Look behind the frail skin, the thin layers, the illusions, and you will see that you are who you are, and no matter what everyone does, they won't get you back. You are Sasuke, no matter what change you go through, no matter what pain you feel. Isn't that your logic, isn't that your opinion to who you really are. But you've forgotten, of a time long past, that those around you, have and always will be a part of you. Remove them, and you remove yourself.
Then, the lights came to life in the solem room, and Sasuke stared at them silently. There are insects that flock towards the light, but they went too close, and thus they burn. Will ones fanaticism towards one's goal lead a person to his downfall? Would he share the fates of these poor flocking insects, destined to get fried as it ventures to close to power?
... Maybe ...
Sasuke strolls through the street silently, with a warm scarf covering portions of his face. Although it doesn't snow here, but it is getting colder, and everyone is reacting to it.
The remains and ruins of a war, a scar that has yet to heal even after a year.
"What am I to do now? Still I am no match for them, still expendable, still unworthy of the important hitlist. Is this it, the limits of my capabilities?" He said, while his eyes wander all over the empty hall. One step, and he felt the warm ray of light filtering through the dusty window panels caress his face.
A moment, he remembered. As it replays like a film in his mind, his hands flickered.
'Chidori.' How would he react now, if he would be attacked by Itachi at this time? No. He wouldn't be able to do anything, like the time when Akatsuki mobilized to obtain Naruto.
The thunders and lightning flares, and slowly, it gnawed at the old wooden panels of the floor. How would he react now, if he was confronted by Zabuza back at the ordeal in Wave? Would he manage to kill him? No. Zabuza would have his head as a trophy.
His feet blurred, and so did his body a split second later. How would he react, if the Hokage doubts his intentions, and Kakashi is sent to take him down? Again, the result would be no different. His death, will be sealed.
The lightning swirled around him, and he charged forth at a large wooden statue of a lion. How would he act, if Naruto came at him? The answer, is with the clouds.
A loud explosion blasted the wooden lion into debris and small remnants of wood.
III
The maiden snow falls softly, cushioned by the gale. A beautiful rain of snow, and yet, the snow will be stained with blood on this day. The small cluster of leaves fallen on the floor rustles, and shakes when his footsteps push onto the snowy ground. Seshiro had been asked to remain in the town, to avoid him being collateral damage.
"... Are we really going to kill them?" Naruto asked, and his hair take wings at the wind's command, and his brown coat whipped in it.
"Maybe. But only if we have to."
"... Try to refrain from killing them."
"For what? Let them bug us again?" Kyubi replied, stern and commanding. This is his home ground, an endless stretch of snow-covered woods, the land where foxes and wolves reign in the hours of twilight. These are the unforgiven wilderness of the north, lands where a sudden howl is greeted with fear, the mark of the pack.
"They are coming." Kagizume stated flatly. "Three of them."
Naruto watched, as three members of Akatsuki landed in front of him with trained elegance. Itachi, Kisame, and a platinum haired girl whom he knows nothing of. They seemed ready for anything that may come, but Naruto knew better, still, Itachi was the first to speak.
"Naruto. You are still a member of Akatsuki, although your loyalty is doubtful. So, would you come with us, and save us the trouble of abducting you?" Itachi remarked with his infamous eyes prying.
'Take over, Kyubi.'
Kyubi grinned malevolently as claws surrounded with red chakra appeared and his hair elongated into a firey red, "Well, I will not adhere to your demands, human."
Itachi took two steps back of surprise, 'Kyubi! How the hell did he awaken him this way? Wasn't it sealed?' Quickly, he stared knowingly at his two partners, "We got to fight, it seems."
Kisame drew his sword, then said, "I'll drain and chew whatever chakra tricks you have for us, demon. We've got you outnumbered."
Snow falls, and a red streak marked the slashes that are given through the air, as Kyubi charged forward with a swipe at Kisame, yet it was blocked with his sword. But it's immense strength forced Kisame backwards and he found himself slammed to a pine tree. The girl watched and quickly drew her weapons and flinged it at Kyubi, but it was blocked by a burst of ki. Kisame, although slammed into a wall, managed to recover quickly and jumped at Kyubi, attempting to land a vertical swipe at the fox-possessed Naruto. But before Kyubi manage to get himself out of the way, the two others were already attacking as furiously as they could.
'Shit...'
"EMMA-O!" A sudden release of green chakra surprised the three, and they jumped backwards, for safety.
"Think you've got us outnumbered, but we are more tricky than that." Kyubi replied with a dark grin.
A green orb came out of Naruto's chest, and it expanded to become a large creature covered in thorns and spikes.
"What the hell is that?" Kisame screamed. "It wasn't in the information we had about Kyubi."
"I'll take Kisame." Kyubi said. "You take the other two."
In a flash, Kyubi was in front of Kisame, and he quickly landed a swipe across his left arm. "Chew my chakra tricks? You underestimate me, human." Kisame unfortunate flesh was then constantly assaulted with punches and slashes, while he struggles to keep up. Every attempt at landing a slash was always countered by a punch from the bag, no matter how he tried to cover or protect himself.
Kisame slashed at Kyubi with the might of bulls, but his effort was wasted as it found only the hard barks of the pines. But his senses detected a sudden motion at his back, and he quickly kicked in hopes to hit something. Again, his kick only touched air, and he felt himself punched really hard in the stomach.
"How the hell did you go so fast?" He forced a quick slash at him, and yet again, it found nothing. Then, he pushed the back of his sword, the hilt backwards, trying to land a small jab at Kyubi.
"It doesn't work, human." Out of nowhere, a few chakra foxes appeared around Kisame, and they kept on attacking.
"Itachi! I need some help here!" He attempted to attack the foxes, but the foxes agile movement avoided harm. All the sword's ability to drain chakra was useless, as the foxes and Kyubi's constant barrage of attacks kept him occupied.
"So, where was it... Ah, destroy my chakra tricks? Well, you are currently being beaten by one." Then, he smiled malevolently. "Die."
A sudden thrust from Kyubi was barely blocked by a shield of black fire. But again, Kyubi blurred and attacked both of them at the back.
"Jounins, and still not fast enough to see through me." Then, Kyubi could not felt his left arm. "...Shit."
Chitsuki on the other hand, attempted to deal some damage to Kagizume, but alas, all was blocked by a plating of chakra.
She attacked again, an earth jutsu, but a counter burst of chakra disabled it. She continued with a chain of fire jutsus, and it hits. Yet, no harm was done.
Kyubi, then jumped next to Kagizume. "End this, now."
Then, as if in agreement, Kagizume roared at the girl, and a shockwave exited from his mouth. The wave blurred the air around it, distorting vision like an invisible fire, and it blasted a large hole on the floor. The girl, although surprised by the sudden attack, still managed to avoid it.
Itachi and Kisame jumped forward to attack Kagizume at the head, a wise move in most cases, but an exception in this time. A burst of electrical energies managed to hit them, and force them back to the ground to recuperate their energies.
"EMMA-O, AWAKEN!!!" It was spoken from Kagizume's mouth, but it was unfathomable to everyone except Kyubi and Kagizume himself.
Quickly, there was a thick mist surrounded the forests and a thick shroud blocked away the blue clouds. The scene of a nightmare beginning, a misty day.
"Itachi, what genjutsu is this?"
"...It's not." He replied.
Then, out of the trees, green menacing spirits appeared, intangible objects unharmed by most blades or jutsus, and they swirled around all three of them like a swarm of bees. Kisame attempted to attack them out of intuition, but his sword merely passed through them without any harm.
"What the hell are these things?" Kisame screeched in anger and fear, and the spirits kept swirling, closer and closer, while he kept on slashing repeatedly.
All three attempted to run, attack or distract the spirits, but they kept swirling and swirling.
"... They do nothing?" Itachi looked surprised.
'Just because it seems to do nothing, doesn't mean it's useless.' Kagizume thought, and he roared again in a strange language. "Awaken, spirits of fear."
Itachi suddenly felt the worse moments of his life flash before him, and it was very overpowering. The fear, the hatred, the humiliation, the rejection, everything was amplified beyond thought, and he... was still, as still as a statue. But inside, he was fighting a psychological war against his past. Sweat after sweat slowly came down from his face, but he did not knew it. Facing his past repeatedly and amplified reminded him of Mangekyou Sharingan, and it was... strange. But after awakening it, the past stopped.
'I won.'
But it was more like being in the eye of the storm, where it was temporarily serene, and a flood of new visions replayed in front of him. They were things not from the past, but creations, visions created by connecting his fears together, and they haunt him more than his past. They seemed like omens, incredibly frightening, and heavy. Then, it got worse, as more of these visions connect with the present and the past, and it kept on going, like a good horror movie improved a millionfold. In fact, the forces, these spirits kept getting more creative, as they combined both his fears and things he held close together, as a nightmare, gone overboard.
'This... is not mangekyou...'
By the time it ends, he collapsed to the floor, unconscious.
Kisame, also did not escape the wrath of the spirits, as the worst and best times of his life was totally changed to strike fear and agony into them, and in fact, they did often applied more fear than necessary.
'Kyubi, what does those spirits do?' Naruto asked from his mind.
'They do a number of things. First, they search the victim's mind for fears and likes, and amplify and use them to generate fear. Then, they created new fears, by using the previous fears as a basis. If it still doesn't weaken the enemy, they change their memories, planting fears or creating fears, thus, making fear even when none exists. Afterwards, they alter their personality for a moment, making them weak to things they normally won't, and after all that, they repeat the process all over again. No mortal can fully resist it, almost perfect.'
'...They alter memories and personalities?'
'Yeah. But temporary.'
'You've said it was near perfect.... What's the hole?'
'Physical pain would snap them out, but since the area of the attack is so wide, usually, there is nobody left to snap a person out, and a person cannot snap himself out physically too, because the attacks paralyzes the link between mind and body.'
Then, they saw the girl, shaking violently, her palms to her face, obvious fear in her platinum eyes. She ran towards Kisame and Itachi, but her body never stops shivering. Her motion was inaccurate, slow and weak, but it still got her close to the two.
'She... She resisted it, slightly.'
Then, she slashed the both of them with a kunai, and thus, they woke up. Then, in a moment, she screamed as loud as she could, "RUN!"
Itachi and Kisame, slightly confused and still shaking, wanted to run, but stared back at her.
"JUST RUN! BEFORE THESE SPIRITS COME FOR YOU AGAIN!!!" The two sped off as quickly as possible, while the spirits chased after them. For a moment though, both of them looked back at her, before continuing But after her outburst, she collapsed, shaking non-stop.
'She... actually resisted it, at least to a point.' Kyubi spoke, with an air of disbelief and surprise over him.
'No matter though, because they are all either running, or unconscious.' Naruto replied, after all, she's in our custody, now.
"I expected you to do your storm thing, Kagizume."
"This is more compassionate, don't you think?"
"Tormenting people with fear isn't exactly compassion."
"Still better than murder."
"How'd about the girl?"
"I have my idea, and it will benefit us the most."
IV
Later, Itachi and Kisame rests by the lake.
Kisame stared at his shaking hands, "What the hell did that monster do...?"
The Uchiha stared at the lake, and then at his feet. "No idea. It's really strange... It makes me feel fear of something I actually like... It... changes our mindsets, at least for a while?"
"Anyhow, going near that monster is suicide. I'm not going back there. If it wasn't for Chitsuki, I think we'd be dead already." Kisame remarked, still trying to stop his hands from shaking. "I don't think we are in the form to actually do accurate attacks or jutsus for a while. But... do you think Chitsuki will... survive?"
"It does not concern me anymore. In that moment, I saw her eyes filled with enough fear to last anyone a lifetime. That monster actually made her feel afraid when nobody else could, not even the boss."
"Man, the boss is gonna kill us, this time."
"I'll tell him to face the monster, then only pass judgement."
"Good excuse. But for now, we'd better avoid any form of contact with any ninja. We'd get killed."
"It attacked our nervous systems as well. It's a medical and interogation jutsu taken to the maximum. We need a really good medic nin to under these side effects." Itachi seemed remorseful for a moment. "I can't believe there are two monsters in Naruto. If he decides to hunt us down, Akatsuki won't be able to do anything to stop it. We can only run, and hope he won't be capable of sniffing us out."
IIIIIII
I hope I did well with the fight scene. Till next time, readers. Anyway, try to guess what I'll do with the girl from Akatsuki?
Feels like we're all breaking the borderline, whatever limits set has been broken once, and it is by nature that it will break its' own rules once again. Borderline, feels like we are venturing further from the edge of chaos where life thrives, and for a moment, we will feel as if we have shed all our limits.
