Butterfly Wings
Chouji stares at the red pill.
It's lying there in its little box, and he's breathing hard and barely standing up after consuming the green and yellow pills, and he can feel the chakra eating away at him, trying to consume him before he can eat the last pill and defeat Jirobo…
Slowly he reaches for the pill, fighting his muscles every inch of the way.
As the ground explodes around him, he feels the chakra burning inside of him and ripping out of his back to form wings that swirl and float around him.
Chouji prepares to launch his final attack, and his mind begins to shut down even as he begins the assault. He charges up the chakra in his fist and runs towards Jirobo, intent on protecting his best friend, even if it costs him his life.
His footsteps are heavy and his breath is harder to catch and the chakra is burning…
Shikamaru…I'm sorry.
I'm breaking my promise…
