(Ok so I wrote this as a challenge because I had serious writer's block for the chapter I wanted to write and my friend challenged me to write this, and that raises the issue of how canon this chapter is cause there are HEAVYspoilers ahead. Read at your own risk cause a lot will be given away and it'll raise the questions of how and why. Enjoy though!)


Just getting to stand by his side was a blessing in its own. Their oversight during the exams cost them a promotion that would earn even more favor from him but it was like he didn't even care about that. "Kito!"

"Y-Yes?!" His masked visage was looking down at her, no emotions bled through but that was good to them. It meant that they could see whatever type of smile they wanted to be on his face. He waved his hand through the air and some type of black material appeared wherever he dragged it. It turned from a black mass into a swirling portal that he stepped through.

"Follow me." They hurried after him and felt the very air change. This place had reddish brown stone as the ground and it was carved in scoop like shapes. The sky was colored green and blue. But the most notable detail was the giant ball of earth floating in the sky. "Are you ready to receive a grand gift from me?" He took off the mask on their face and revealed a soft face with gray eyes and curly brown hair.

"Yes Lord Sho!" He nodded and pushed her in front of him.

Dark rings appeared around his eyes and he held out a finger. "Senpō…" A fire appeared on his fingertip and hovered over the digit. "Shakuton…" The ball of fire grew larger and larger until his guest was sweating profusely from the overwhelming heat. "Yōshanai Taiyō." (Sage Art: Scorch Release: Unforgiving Sun). He fired a miniature sun that was practically the size of the planetoid in front of them and it ate the ball of earth without resistance. "Brace yourself Kito."

They braced and for a moment the entire world faded away and was replaced by white, the only thing there was a person. She looked beautiful in the robe she had on and even with her blank eyes, the red one in her forehead even had its own charm to it. Kito snapped back into reality and saw Sho walking towards the portal again. "Lord Sho… What was that?"

He turned around and she swore there was an actual smile behind the mask. "My gift to you."


The Otsutsuki Menace

It was definitely not a calm day right then. It was the direct opposite of calm considering the fight going on, and one of the fighters was ready to end everything right then and there. One of them was kneeling with his teal overshirt lightly blowing in the wind and his gray bodysuit below it had some holes and scrapes. His opponent was standing twenty and some meters away from him with a hand outstretched.

A grey piece of osseous tissue grew from a hand, its point was sharp enough to cut through even metal. "Murderous ashen bone!" It fired off towards its target but he was only able to watch it get closer and closer to him, the injury exposing his left tibia ensuring that he wouldn't be going anywhere. "Be glad you lasted as long as you did, now die in vain… mortal."

He was really in a bind with that bone coming right at him and his options were more limited than ever. He needed a saving grace, someone to pop in and get him out of this situation… Unfortunately life wasn't that kind and nobody came to his aid when he needed it, so he was on his own. He laced his hand with chakra and when the bone was about to rip its way into his skull, he snapped it into two pieces with one well placed blow and used the momentum to spin onto one leg. 'Not enough chakra to make a bunch of hiraishin seals and she's on top of my kunai… I gotta dodge on my own.'

"If you let yourself be killed you wouldn't suffer." Well now things might've gotten more complicated. Another horn sprouted from her head and a slit appeared on her forehead as well, but the worst thing was the pale eyes looking down at him like he was garbage. Geometric patterns of black markings spread across skin and gave them a more intimidating look, their skin turned white and curly brown hair quickly changed to flowing white locks. "Quit struggling Jenki, death is much easier." Well now she looked a lot like the clan member that she was turning into so it was easier to make a joke.

"Shut your alien loving mouth you lesbian." It was a spur of the moment insult but it was effective in aggravating the receiver. "You let a woman go right inside of you and now she's about to take over isn't she?" Her response was to just levitate into the air and send her hair out as a means to attack. Her pure white locks elongated and started shooting towards Jenki with an unmatched fury, he managed to scrounge up the energy to dodge and watched the ground be ripped apart like wet paper.

His priorities were set and he needed to avoid getting hit by that hair… actually he needed to not be hit by anything she- They- Both of the girls, were throwing at him. He pulsed his chakra to activate his Byakugan but there was no such luck since his eyes didn't enhance, but felt searing pain that nearly caused him to get torn in half by the still coming barrage of hair.

"Kaiten." He spun as fast as he could while releasing chakra from each of his tenketsu points to form a rotating dome of chakra that repelled each strand of hair as it came. More and more hair kept coming but every single strand was deflected away by the sphere of spiraling chakra. 'Isn't even my reserves I need to worry about right now, it's not getting hit.' He looked around and started to realize how vulnerable he really was when he didn't have a full view of the battlefield. In all his years he'd never actually fought someone above him without the Byakugan so this was an eye opener… Pun not intended. Oh right there was a fight for his life, no time to joke around, especially with the- "Shit!" With the hair needles that just stabbed through his leg and pinned him in place.

"Running like a rat doesn't work forever. Lord Sho will be pleased in knowing that the stronger of you two is out of the pic-" She started convulsing and her eyes began to twitch as they turned from lovely grey eyes into pale purple lenses that looked exactly like his. There was no doubt in his mind that the process was almost done. "Die, Jenki!" Her hair turned to needles once again and rushed at him with even more speed and ferocity than he thought hair could have.

Jenki was always a quick thinker and sometimes the best path is to return to the basics and do what comes naturally. "Hakke…" He strained his eyes, he pushed them to their limit and felt more pain shoot through them. The hair got closer and his pain grew, but there was something bigger going on below the surface. Three veins pulsed around each of his eyes and his Byakugan activated. "Rokujūyon Shō!" (Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms). His hands lashed out and struck every single fierce follicle that came his way, right now there was only his divination and as such his defense against the deadly hair. It was like striking solid metal but he didn't waver and he hit harder and harder while they came faster and faster, each one he deflected there were three more taking its place but he kept up his pace and each needle was blown away by his technique until he repelled the last of them with a swing of both arms. "I could do this all day Kito!"

"Then you can do it all you want, with the Byakugan I can track your technique and adjust everything to kill you all the better." More and more hair turned to needles but that was only the first half of the attack. "How many palms will protect you from this?" She put her hands into the horse and then the tiger sign, her hair was illuminated with purple chakra and Jenki felt that something was about to go awry. "Ranton: Hari Kō Keisei!" (Gale Style: Light Needle Formation). Her hair exploded towards the brown haired Hyuga with even more speed than before… Something he didn't even think was possible at this point, but he didn't panic and he didn't falter in the face of the monstrously fast assault.

She didn't have anything else to do but smirk at his imminent death since it was all but assured. However Kito was surprised to see that Jenki wasn't afraid in the face of death, but instead he smiled and closed his eyes to focus his mind. "Hakke…" The very space around Jenki seemed to have more life right then, as if nature itself grew stronger around him. Jenki opened his eyes and blue lines appeared on his cheekbones and around his upper eyelids. "Nijūhasshō!" (One hundred-Twenty eight palms). He went from being a blur to practically vanishing.

Every single one of the needles was rerouted away from his body, and Kito could tell why. "He's entered Wolf Sage mode, there's no other way he'd still be alive by now. This attack is nearly at light speed and it's made of Her chakra… nothing short of sage mode would work on it." She put even more effort into skewering Jenki where he was but it was to no avail, he was pushing every single attack away like a toddler who didn't want to eat his broccoli. The hair slowly started slowing down and eventually stopped leaving Jenki to stand there and wait for her next move.

In the time it took for her to blink he managed to form and throw his own jutsu, the typhoon cone, at her, and since it was enhanced with sage chakra… It packed a punch when it slammed into her chest and made a giant divot in her flesh and ripped through her- "When did she put on that robe?" She was wearing an elegant and long white robe decorated with magatama at the sleeves and down the center of it, with gold and green accents around the neck and wrists.

Her skin was stark white and the slit on her forehead opened to reveal a red eye with black rings coming from the pupil and three tomoe on every other ring giving a grand total of nine. Her hair had a crack-like split going down the very middle and her face looked more… elegant than it did before. "Kito…"

'That ain't the same voice.' He deactivated his Byakugan and let his sage mode take over as his main sensory ability and what he felt terrified him. It was like this was a literal God standing in- Floating in front of him with how monstrous her chakra was. With an application of medical chakra he closed the wound in his leg and was bracing himself for- For whatever he was about to stall for.

"Kito you… Were a fitting vessel. I've had time to think about what I did in the past and how I failed to protect humanity. I was going about it all wrong. Making an army of husks would get me nowhere, I need to force you all to fight as you are to keep the others away!" A simple pulse of her chakra sent enough force through the area to send rocks flying but Jenki stood strong against it and watched her cross her hands.

He sat there in contemplation over what he could do against whatever she was going to throw at him when he realized something that calmed him down ever so slightly. "As long as I have natural chakra, I can fight you!"

She looked at him with indifference but she quickly dropped that and realized something. "You remind me of- Oh… The cycle continues." Ethereal chakra appeared around her sleeves and formed into giant, translucent, claws. "Yasogami Kūgeki." (Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists). She flew right for him with those claws at the ready to deliver her judgement onto him.

Jenki got into his Gentle Fist stance and steeled himself for dealing with her alone, his palms were ready to fly free into wherever he could land a hit on her. She grew even closer and he extended his right hand to match her approaching claw and it was decimating when the hit landed, the one that sent her flying with a shockwave that is. Jenki realized who it was and exhaled his stale breath from the slight fear that was gripping him against the situation he was just in. A hand was out on his back and he felt his chakra levels rise back to normal. "You took your sweet time getting here didn't you? Oh you took the disguise seal off?" A shorter man with black hair was on the scene and he was replenishing Jenki's chakra stores.

"I had to grab some extra help on the way, just in case."

He gestured to his side and there was a- Oh the hell he did. "AHH?! WHY?!" Jenki was pointing at the figure beside his friend that was even smaller than he was. "WHY DID YOU BRING KANNA?!" A little girl with raven black hair and eyes to match was standing there in a dark blue long sleeve crop top with white bandages covering her midriff and brown shorts with grey socks that covered her legs down to her black boots, and she didn't appreciate being yelled about right when she got there.

"Hey! I can be here all I wanna!" She stuck her tongue out and disgusted Jenki at its pitch black coloration, something he'd never get used to. "You need me here so don't get mad that-"

The man who brought her playfully put his hand on her head and ruffled her hair. "I figured we could use Amaterasu against- Dodge!" He pulled Kanna out of the way and Jenki outright vanished right when something struck where they were standing and turned the spot into smooth stone with its explosion.

"Zeko, you know that yelling dodge makes it harder to dodge right?" Jenki brushed himself off of any debris while his friend and honorary niece snapped their attention to whom he'd been fighting with. "It's even more pointless when you just move the person you tell to dodge." Zeko's eyes went from being coal black to a Sharingan with three tomoe while Kanna's did the same. Jenki picked up his unique kunai and activated his Byakugan beside his best friend.

"Well it's not my fault that I didn't want… Kaguya? That's her name right?" He received a nod for his guess. "Kaguya blowing you two off the face of the planet before the real fight even started."

Kaguya just floated in the air while the three of them stood there menacingly and she had to admit that it was pretty cool with their different stances. 'Some of Kito's personality must have gotten to me.' She looked from Zeko to Jenki and her Byakugan paid close attention to their chakra networks and saw that Zeko wasn't kidding when he said the real fight didn't start just yet. The girl behind them was clearly not there to fight her directly, she was supporting them with Amaterasu it seemed. "I suppose my new means to rule can start once I take the chakra from you three and give it to the more willing." She inhaled and the trio tensed. "Unless you lay down any will to defy me and join my cause."

All they had to do was just say yes and they'd get to usher in a new time of true peace where she didn't have to enslave anyone and drain their power, this time she just needed total submission by choice or you'd face death… A black rod came from Zeko's hand and he flung it at her to land a direct hit in her chest. "I agree with him." Jenki said as he twirled his kunai. Kanna didn't even speak, she just cracked her knuckles but Zeko put a hand out protectively to remind her that she wasn't there to fight directly.

Well plan A it was. Kaguya extended her right hand and a circle of white chakra formed in front of it. "Raiha!" (Thunder Blast). Streams of white lightning came from her hand and branched off into dozens of directions, effectively trapping the three targets that she had. A flood of metallic sand worked as an umbrella and stopped the attack in its tracks, but then its user turned the shield into spikes and sent them right back to their sender.

"That hair again." Jenki commented while Kaguya's hair blocked the charged metal sand like it was nothing. He placed his hand on Kanna's shoulder then threw his kunai at the floating woman. She dodged the weapon without moving anything other than her head but the surprise came when Jenki was nowhere to be seen. Kanna fired off a fireball jutsu and Kaguya thought to shake her head but she heard a noise from behind her that drew her attention, and it was right to. Jenki was falling towards her with his kunai in one hand and a typhoon cone in the other.

'He's fast!' She backed towards the flames but didn't get hit by them or the drill of water, and Jenki doused the flames with his own attack only to see why his target vanished from sight.

"Dodge!" Kanna turned around to see that white skinned woman behind her with a sharp bone protruding from her palm so she reflexively used an ability of hers and survived being attacked with the ash bone by simply phasing right through the stab. In her defense, that counted as a dodge. Her eyes went from three tomoe to a more complex pattern with a sideways four pointed star in a circle that connected its points and four lines coming from her outer iris that went through the circle and between each point of the star.

Zeko jumped then spun in the air to deliver a kick against the woman who'd dare harm his niece but all it did was make her turn her head and slightly scuff her skin. "Uh oh." A vacuum fist formed and hit him hard. Zeko was sent flying across the ground and Kanna was left there with Kaguya reaching out to her but a sudden spike in chakra let her see a blur appear in front of her.

Water was an element that was very effective in weathering down objects and slicing through other objects, and a kunai was enhanced with water to enhance its cutting power against a durable enemy. "Flying raijin slice!" With a swipe of his kunai Jenki separated Kaguya from the arm that threatened Kanna. This time a number of vacuum fists appeared and bashed into the ground in a powerful barrage but there were no crushed bodies there when she stopped her assault. She saw that they appeared beside Zeko and his skin was ashen grey with scales on his cheeks.

"She's crazy strong, if I didn't have dad's kamui I'd have died. I don't wanna die as a ten year old!"

Jenki's face went stale and he eyed Zeko with an annoyed look that showed his irritation plain as day, and it was an obvious reason as to why he felt that way yet he felt that he needed to say it. "You wouldn't have to worry about that if someone didn't drag you here to fight the Otsutsuki that pretty much gave all humans chakra!"

Zeko answered that open ended statement with glee. "Yeah, only some total psycho would do something like that… Good thing I spent a lot of time with Kotetsu." They all looked at Kaguya and saw the eye in her forehead glow a slight red tint.

"Yomotsu Hirasaka…" They all watched Kaguya vanish into a black portal and Jenki turned with full preparation to counter an ash bone while Kanna and Zeko watched their front, but they all made a mistake.

"Amenominaka." They weren't watching above themselves or below and Kaguya made her appearance ten feet above them before pulling that move. One second they're in a mountain pass and the next they're in a volcano. Everyone who couldn't fly started falling and if it weren't for iron sand they would've fallen right into the molten rock underneath them. Kanna looked around and saw that the world they were just in was gone and they were somewhere else entirely.

Jenki and Zeko paused when they felt a hand on their respective shoulders and they turned their heads to see Kaguya. The problem was that they both saw Kaguya and in their peripheral vision they still saw her holding each other's shoulder… There were two of her. "I made the mistake of not being willing to deal with my sons before, but I won't make that mistake again." They spoke in tandem before they grew an ashen bone out of their free hands. They stabbed their hands forward and in that moment the entire world slowed down as Zeko's eyes switched from three tomoe to a design with seven points and a triangular center. With unmatched speed, Zeko placed a hand on Jenki's shoulder and snapped him out of a funk he didn't know he was in and the two quickly dodged the oncoming bones, then struck their respective Otsutsuki in the stomach with either a simple palm strike or a complicated sideways flipping kick to safely land on the iron sand platform again.

'Life or death situations are no excuse to not be flashy.' Those were just decoys that vanished in a puff of smoke while the real Kaguya was- "Kanna!" They both saw that Kanna was being held in one giant chakra claw while Kaguya had her normal hand extended towards them and this time she was going to take no chances.

"Yasogami Kūgeki!" This time a series of giant fists formed and rapidly punched towards the two as Kaguya advanced slowly through the air. Jenki's byakugan activated with five veins on each temple and he clenched his teeth to pull off a technique he only had chances to conceptualize instead of actually practicing it, so this was an all or nothing gambit.

He felt a small twinge of pain shoot through his eyes but it quickly stopped and was replaced by relief, but that didn't matter since his divination was ready and the yin-yang symbol appeared below him right when the vacuum fists were about to make contact. "Hakke…" Blue chakra coated his hands and he lashed his fingers out at the first chakra fist that came to him. "Kanzen Heisa!" (Eight Trigrams: Total Closure). Each level of the Gentle fist closed off more and more tenketsu points with each move being more and more advanced. From thirty two to one hundred and twenty eight, meaning that the most advanced technique would be one that fully closed all three hundred and sixty one tenketsu. The vacuum fist was torn apart by his rapid blows but there were still more coming, and each one of them met the same fate of being torn apart and dissipated into the air. This was the perfect time to get Kanna out of the clutches of the Otsutsuki so the best thing to do was hit fast and hit hard.

The soft sound of birds chirping slowly filled the air… until it turned into a flock of birds all chirping at once and Zeko's right hand was fully coated in lightning chakra, but that wasn't all. The deep blue lightning turned dark and almost malevolent in appearance, and the chirping sound was replaced by the heavy sound of flapping wings. He jumped over the barrage of fists while Jenki held them back, and he used his heightened chakra control to run along the chakra fists like a bridge. "Habataku Chidori Eisō." (Black blade of One thousand Flapping birds).

'He's too fast!' Kaguya pulled her vacuum fists back but there was no time to counterattack. She started to transport herself somewhere else but it wasn't quick enough to get her out of harm's way. In an instant the left side of her torso was cleaved from the rest of her, and with it went her left arm and Kanna who fell down towards the lava river below them. Her body shifted and distorted into a large white beast but she gained control over herself before she fully transformed. "I almost want Zetsu by my side, at least he would sacrifice everything to stop me from being hurt." She relented on what she did and didn't have to move her freshly formed fingers while the body parts she just replaced fell into the lava.

She turned and wordlessly formed three purple orbs then shot them off at Zeko who still had his black blade of lightning chakra in his right hand. 'Those orbs are a mix of every chakra nature and have properties of both Yin and Yang release, our research said that nothing short of senjutsu or Six Paths Chakra can resist them.' That was a problem he was alone in since both his partners had their own issues.

Jenki powered out of his sage mode and his byakugan shifted off while Kanna only continued to fall, Zeko was too far to help her and with those orbs on his tail he'd be busy. Kanna was free falling and while she was young, she could still tell that it was getting a lot hotter the closer she got to that lava. "I'm not ready to die! Uncle Zeko-" She saw that he was in close range to Kaguya. He couldn't help her. She looked at Jenki and saw that he was powered down from the mode he was keeping up in while he covered his eyes, so he was blinded by something and couldn't help either. She was alone. She was going to die. She was a little girl in over her head and now she was going to die. Her mom wasn't even going to be able to pop in and save her, and her dad wasn't an option. She was really going to die and there was nothing she could do. It was almost beautiful seeing the colors of red and orange below her, they were a mix that made her feel a little less down at what was about to happen. "Maybe it isn't all that bad, maybe I can-"

A flash of green and gold and she wasn't falling anymore, she looked around and saw that she was safely in a pair of arms. "Quit thinking like that Kanna. As long as we're here we won't let you die." It was Jenki. She looked into his… wait a second. Byakugan don't have pupils, and they don't have white patterns like a flower. "Zeko!" They both saw that Zeko was blocking one of the orbs with a black rod while two others flanked him.

Kanna snapped out of her fears and used her ability. Capillaries in her left eye burst and she cried tears of blood as result, she looked directly at Kaguya's exposed back and took the chance she had. "Amaterasu!" Black flames appeared all over her back but they didn't cause any damage before she started absorbing them. She turned around and saw that Kanna was very alive and was the one who tried to set her on fire, but the real surprise was on Jenki and his new eyes.

"Zeko we need to kick it up a notch!" He called out to his best friend who shifted and dodged each of the orbs that wanted to erase his existence. Zeko's skin went from grey to its normal tan and his eyes moved into their next state. The seven red points were replaced by rings and black turned into purple… actually it all went purple while black rings appeared from the pupil all across the visible eye.

He created a longer black rod and used it to catch the next orb that came his way. "So they finally activated? Let's see what we can do!" He turned and used the rod to swing the orb at the other two and the explosion was beautiful. Kaguya watched it and slowly turned to see that both Jenki and Zeko were right beside one another with Kanna still in Jenki's arms, and the rod Zeko used was gone. Kaguya shot two ash bones out and they were dodged easily, but it was a diversion that worked seamlessly and got them to let their guard down. She was right by them again and pulled them into yet another dimension that was decorated with sloping dunes of sand.

She extended a hand and blue flames came to life in the air. They transformed into rings and blasted right towards all three of them, the flames were hot enough to create distortion even in the heat of this desert. Jenki acted fast and weaved three hand signs then inhaled. 'Suijinheki.' (Wall of Water). A torrent of water came from his mouth and collided with the flames, but the attacks weren't equal. The flames burned through the water and even the steam to keep approaching but Jenki wasn't alone.

"Shinra Tensei." Zeko used his almighty push and dispelled the oncoming flames with the ease of gravitational repulsion. Okay the time was now for some significant damage and the opportunity was now. Jenki put his right hand on his honorary niece's shoulder while he handed Zeko a rod that he used before.

"Kanna you have to use this chakra as fast as possible once I start giving it to you, okay?" Jenki inhaled and gathered as much nature chakra as he quickly could while Kanna started weaving hand signs.

She nodded and her right eye started to bleed while Zeko vanished and reappeared behind Kaguya. "Surprise bitch!" He swung the rod but the turns tabled on him alarmingly fast when he was backhanded by a large chakra claw and sent straight into the sand. She turned back and saw that-

"Double surprise!" Her byakugan saw that Jenki and Kanna reappeared behind her right beside the-

Kaguya realized what happened. 'That chakra rod! It had a green sealing formula on it, Jenki must've put it on there to set this up… Kito was right to call him the strategist.' While Jenki was the one who transported them he wasn't the one launching an attack, that right would go to Kanna.

The feeling of being sucked into one point washed over the Otsutsuki but she realized that it wasn't the attack, and she saw Jenki transfer a large store of natural chakra into the girl who quickly decided to use it. "Bakufū Ranbu!" (Bomb Blast Dance). Kanna exhaled a stream of fire chakra enhanced with natural energy and it danced around the pull of her kamui in a massive spiral that surrounded Kaguya. Despite being a child with nowhere near as much firepower or experience, she chose the right attack since their enemy was being surrounded in flames enhanced by sage chakra. "Ha, suck on that Otsu- whatever you are."

Jenki grabbed the rod and flung it away then transported Kanna and himself away with it while Kaguya started to shift and transform into a giant white creature with a bulbous tail just as big as its body, the third eye that Kaguya had on her forehead was still present on this thing. Whatever she was turning into started wailing and scared Kanna more than her near death experience did.

Zeko was laying down in the crater he was sent into and watching the event with an analytic gaze thanks to his Rinnegan. "It looks like large amounts of natural chakra cause her to start turning into the ten tailed rabbit… The book on this was pretty detailed about this form and how much raw power she had to throw around." He started to move but his body caught up with how much pain that hit really caused him. He chalked it up as the fifth most painful hit he'd taken in life so far, but all things considered it was a glancing blow so the list was ready to be filled in more. "I'll throw in my own hit right now. Limbo: Hengoku."

The rabbit beast started to shrink and return to the shape of the Otsutsuki woman but this time she was different. Some of her skin was colored black in geometric lines that came from the sides of her face and stopped before passing her cheekbones. Her hands ended in black fingers against white hands while her horns were now striped black and white, while now coiling around both sides of her head like a crown. "The chakra that Kito absorbed finally made it to me. She was a good vessel to have, I'll be sure to create a shrine for-" She didn't even see it coming. One second she's talking about honoring someone who willingly accepted her into herself to be taken over and replaced, the next second she was holding her cheek and scanning the area with her byakugan. 'What was that?!' She looked around but saw nothing with any of her eyes. Another blow to her stomach that made her curl in for just a moment. She could regenerate from essentially all attacks but that didn't mean getting slugged by some unseen force- Something hit her in the back of her head and sent her towards the ground.

Jenki floated down to the ground and set Kanna down beside him while they watched Kaguya get hit three times by something they couldn't see. The chakra rod was right next to them and they watched as Kaguya recovered then rushed for Zeko who was still laying down in a crater. "Crap, he's still down there! Kanna, stay behind-" The rod vanished and Zeko was there kneeling while Kaguya had the receiver in her left hand. "Not a word… I didn't forget."

His shorter friend stood up with a smirk on his face and six tomoe appeared in both of his eyes. "Well how about you remember to go full power now? We worked hard for these eyes so let's show off what they can do."

Jenki inhaled and let the chakra take him. "Yeah. Let's see what the Tenseigan can do!" A swirl of green, light blue, and gold chakra surrounded him and his clothes- No, his entire body was glowing with a cool green chakra and his collar had seven gold magatama around the front of his neck while the ends of the flickering fire-like chakra were a soft blue. "So this is Tenseigan chakra mode?" Behind him there were some orbs forming, first one then two, five and then twelve. In the end he had fifteen black orbs behind him and Kanna was lightly sweating at the sudden pressure put onto her shoulders. "These are Truthseeker Orbs?" A simple thought and one of them came to his hand and formed into a staff that ended in a circular shape with five rings in it. "Zeko I wouldn't touch that!"

Zeko reached out and touched one of the orbs but instead of being seriously hurt he just pulled it away from Jenki, and he soaked it in his own chakra then it just- It vanished. "An amalgam of all chakra types, no weaknesses just strength." He grabbed two more and did the same, soaking them in his chakra and making them disappear. "Well it looks like Kaguya recovered from my little switch." He turned the orb into a staff like his friend's but instead of ending in a circle it ended in a crescent with five rings looped through it. A quick shake revealed that even when the rings should fall off because there was nothing there, they stayed put. A swirl of purple, deep red, and a slight amount of black chakra surrounded him and gave him a similar aura to Jenki, only with darker colors. His aura wasn't like Jenki's flickering flames, it was more like flowing water and didn't make his clothes seem longer like his friend's but rather just kept a solid aura over his outfit.

Kaguya watched them after taking the receiver from her torso. She grew bones from her back and out of her palms then flew towards them even faster than she'd been. Seven shadow clones of Jenki popped into existence while Zeko stood in front of Kanna protectively. She was about to strike Jenki down but she was stopped by that immovable force again, she quickly stabbed it with one of her bones and the force vanished. "I see now. You're using clones in a different dimension to fight with you."

"Bold of you to assume I'm using more than one." He flew right for her and clashed his staff with both of her bones.

"However many you're using it's obvious that you have a time limit with how many you use. I'd assume that each one you bring out reduces the total time by that percent, two clones reduce the time by half and three by seventy five percent. I'd assume that four or more only allow you to use them for moments at best." Her eyes widened and the bones in her back elongated to spear Jenki all across his body. "And without him you're alone." Dozens of vacuum fists appeared and bore down on Zeko while Jenki's clones- 'Wait a minute.' His clones were still there after she killed him… It was just a clone and she fell for this trick again.

Jenki gathered one of his orbs and charged it with his chakra to turn it silver. He flew up to the deadlocked pair and got ready to launch his attack. The fists started hitting Zeko but there were sounds of something getting in the way of every blow that should've been a direct hit until one made it through and landed a solid hit that sent him flying towards Jenki. "Okay your turn!" He yelled as he flew by him. Kaguya shot her bones at Jenki and noted that since he was not only the fastest approaching one but also had three orbs compared to the other seven only having one, it was the real one.

The bones were warped away and Kaguya saw that Kanna's eye was bleeding again. "Ginrin Tensei Baku!" (Silver Wheel Rebirth Explosion). The orb he grabbed turned into a cyclone of wind and he aimed it right at Kaguya. The cyclone caught her and she braced to resist its force then Jenki thought harder and willed the rest of his orbs to crash right into her, one blew right through her and was just out of the range that the Hyuga could feel it. 'So past ninety meters I can't use them? That's stupid. Oh wait!' That was meant for both a solution and for the fact that both Zeko and Kanna appeared behind Kaguya right when she started pulling them into another dimension.

This time they were all encased in ice and Kaguya quickly melded with the environment and left the ice they were trapped in. Jenki's clones dispelled and his orbs were left only a slight distance from one another. A quick analysis let the two see that this was a dimension of snow and ice, more importantly it was freezing cold. Kaguya started to create another orb. "Please stay still and die. There's no point in trying to reclaim your chakra for those who need it, it's too much effort now."

"Enton: Kagutsuchi." (Inferno Style: Flame control). Spears of black flames came from Kanna and started to melt the ice around her but she didn't have time to wait and started to phase through the ice with her kamui. "I'll take you on myself while they heat up!"

'THE HELL IS SHE DOING?!' Jenki was panicking at how much she just wanted to die at this point. She was a little girl without any of the major power they had behind them yet she jumped right into danger against a goddess.

Even Kaguya was speechless at Kanna's bravery but she decided to humor her and leave the orb in the air. "If you really think you can fight with me then give your all." She grew a bone from her left palm and slowly floated closer. Even slowing herself down and lessening her overwhelming chakra didn't remove the effect of making Kanna's legs shake from fear. "Are you too afraid to act? Was it just a performance to hide your feelings?" She was levitating right in front of her now and yet Kanna didn't move. "A shame, Kito would call you a weak woman." The bone was thrusted with full intent to kill but it didn't make contact with any flesh. Black flames were surrounding Kanna and the bone was turned to nothing in an instant while Kaguya retreated via floating back just ten meters.

"Jenki! I can talk! The flames nearly have us out!" Zeko was starting to wriggle his body while the black fire slowly melted the ice around them.

The Tenseigan owner was focusing on moving both himself and his truthseeker orbs as best as he could. "If we all survive this I'm gonna give her the longest lecture I can! She jumped down there without even trying to make a plan like- Just like-"

"Just like Kotetsu would?" They both got quiet and for a moment reminisced on the past. "No time to think about that, if we don't get free he won't forgive us for letting Kanna die." They doubled their efforts while the black flames continued to heat the space around them.

"Kanna, was it?" She raised her hand and the little girl had a familiar feeling of her entire body being gripped by an unseen force. "Maybe you aren't weak." The Uchiha girl was pulled towards her while her hair elongated and turned into two large blocks of ice. The blocks of ice smashed into one another and showed exactly what was going to happen to Kanna and her mind remembered a similar situation.


She just landed two hits on Zeko's forearms but they weren't anywhere near enough to cause damage to him. He kicked her solid in the stomach and knocked her away the length of a forty meter dash lane. His eyes went from being normal sharingan to being Rinnegan and he held out his right hand which made Kanna freeze entirely. "Uh, Uncle Zeko? What's going on?" She tried to move around but it felt like a giant hand was covering her entire body and even as the pain from her stomach subsided she felt like another one was coming.

A chakra receiver came from his palm and he held it out menacingly. "I'm going to pull you towards me and stab you with this unless you figure out a way to stop me." Her body was forced towards her family member and she wanted to start panicking at how badly this was going to hurt. Hold on. Something in her mind just clicked.

'He's already pulling me so he can't push anything away. He needs to push away Amaterasu or dodge it!' She was about to be too close for comfort so she decided to act before she wound up in even more pain.


"Inferno Style: Honoikazuchi!"

Blades of Amaterasu's fire sprouted from Kanna's body right when she was about to hit the ash bone and depart this mortal coil. The blades of fire tore an elegant robe apart and disintegrated the all killing bone. It was nothing short of a surprise how the flames actually ripped into her outfit but Kaguya was very able to absorb them, however she couldn't absorb what was about to happen. History repeated and Kanna exhaled a stream of flames while creating a focal point for them to swirl around with her kamui. 'I didn't use all of the natural stuff earlier!'

Kanna jumped back and a moment later the glacier behind the two girls broke in half and the two powerhouses were free to watch that rabbit beast appear again. Even that minor amount of natural chakra was enough to spark the transformation back into what she was less than ten minutes ago. Kanna was transported away from that conflict and put right beside Jenki who was shedding part of his chakra cloak since it had leftover black fire on it. "She's huge so we need to be huge too." His chakra flared and formed a giant aspect of a wolf made out of light blue chakra with golden eyes, and green lines along the back and tail. More Truthseeker Orbs materialized behind the construct, bringing the number from nine to twenty. Ten of the orbs went to the mouth of the chakra wolf and formed a massive staff that it bit down on.

The rabbit beast looked at them and charged a ball of purple chakra in front of its giant mouth while Jenki stood in the safety of the forehead of his wolf with his staff in hand. Zeko's quick thinking didn't match his friend's total confidence since he grabbed his niece and evaded the attack that was blasted straight for them. The wolf used the staff to attempt to deflect the ball of dense chakra but he greatly overestimated how stable it would be. The explosion consumed his entire construct and Zeko strained his Rinnegan again while standing on the side of the glacier, and he used something different while the smoke cleared around Jenki. "Kanna, put a hand on me and try to give me some of your chakra." She did as she was told and Zeko pulled something that only he could actually see.

Part of the chakra wolf's face and one of its legs were blown away, luckily the man inside of it only had part of his sleeves missing with burns on his exposed arms. "Okay I guessed and I was wrong." The wolf flew towards the rabbit and bit down on two Truthseeker Orbs then charged them with his chakra.

Jenki couldn't see it but there were two limbo clones charging at Kaguya and they both landed solid punches, one in her face and the other in her stomach. Both had the power to knock down a mountain but only amounted to pushing back the beast and in her flailing she sent them crashing to the ground, then she charged another blast in front of her mouth again.

"Limbo: Susano'o!" Only he saw a crimson being made of chakra, first bones formed then muscle and skin over it while long 'hair' grew from its head and down its back. A purple bow materialized in the hand of Susano'o and it formed three arrows of red chakra. "Kanna, do you see them?!" This was a make or break for his attack so it mattered what her answer was.

She looked as hard as she could but there wasn't anything there for her to see- There were three things she could barely make out that were just outside of both dimensions she could see at the moment. "I- I kinda do. What am I supposed to-" Kanna was a smart kid and she'd make her predecessor proud with how she managed to see her part in what needed to happen, she felt her kamui pull over those faint objects and they turned darker than night… Now she saw them perfectly. Even her predecessor didn't pull something like this off. "Kamui bullets!" Both the arrows and the blast were fired, the blast broke from a single ball into five that were threatening everything Jenki stood for in terms of living. The orb in the wolf's mouth was bright green and he was going to have to use- Three black objects shot by him and took out each of the tailed beast bombs despite having less numbers, Kaguya's enmity shifted to the Uchiha on the glacier and she fired a blast right at them. Kanna stared death in the face for the third time in half an hour but she didn't have to worry about anything since she was now safely in the wolf right behind Jenki.

The glacier was blown away and the man who was minimally armored in the face of the explosion went with it, but since he took the hit that gave his friend an opportunity. The wolf fired the green Truthseeker Orb straight into the rabbit tail, it was small but it packed some serious power behind it. "Hisuinrin Tensei Baku!"(Jade wheel rebirth explosion). The green orb slammed into the rabbit tail and rapidly expanded to a quarter of her size, then it blew up. The blast radius was large enough to cover all of the ten tailed rabbit and when the smoke cleared she was missing most of her tail. She started shifting and turned back into herself while Kanna looked for her family member.

When Kaguya formed again she wasn't wearing a long and elegant robe, this time she had a sleeveless kimono that ended just above her knees and revealed that she was barefoot. Her arms and legs now had those black lines that stopped before her hands and feet. She looked at Jenki and instantly he wasn't in the safety of the wolf anymore on account of the foot in his stomach. Quick thinking gave Kanna the idea to use Amaterasu to slice away the piece of the wolf that she was still in and fall to the ground before Kaguya could impose any anger onto her.

Jenki was in a pit of flash frozen ice, the ice he landed in melted from the heat he created on landing and froze over while he laid there. He got up and saw Kanna fall to the ground protected by his chakra. "She just keeps getting faster, but I've adjusted and now I can keep up." He twirled his staff and eyed Kaguya as she descended to the ground and grew bones from her back and forearms.

"How will you stop me when you're too heavy to move?" She rushed forward and started sending them to another dimension, and the first thing Jenki felt was the horrendous weight on his body that forced him flat on his ass. Luckily the Otsutsuki wasn't much better off since she was on her knees and barely holding her arms up.

The portal they went through started to close and Kanna was running after it as fast as she could. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" She wasn't gonna make it at this rate and that would both leave her out of the action and make things harder on Jenki. She wasn't a nuisance and she wasn't a hindrance! She put the hurt on Kaguya twice and she was going for a third! 'Kamui.' She held that portal open with her own willpower and dimensional manipulation and kept running even though both her eyes were bleeding, one from ability use and the other from sheer strain. This was eating through her chakra like water to salt but she kept moving through the pain. A hand picked her up by the neck then carried her through the air towards the portal and went from being an invisible force to Zeko holding her in his left hand. "Should you be using your Rinne- thing, so much? If you run out of chakra how will you-"

"I've got too much practice by now. I've nearly got perfect efficiency with all my Rinnegan techniques, it's as draining as it is to breathe." They jumped through the portal and instantly felt the effects that Jenki and Kaguya were experiencing. Kanna shut her eyes from exhaustion while Zeko saw Kaguya send all the bones on her arms straight to the Hyuga… and none of them made it. Every single one of the bones landed ten feet too short and she grew more then slowly raised her arms to adjust for the change in distance she needed.

"Oh hell!" Jenki willed his Truthseeker Orbs to raise and defend himself but damn were they even heavier, yet despite not having to touch them they were too heavy to save him in time. Kaguya had a sharp toothed smile and was beaming it towards the struggling man in front of her. "I don't like that look! Zeko use Heavenly Hand Power or something, I'm serious!" She fired the bones right at him and this time they made it further than the last ones. "NO!"

A flash of purple and spiraling black intercepted the deadly osseous tissue, Zeko was there spiraling his staff and deflecting every single bone to the ground. Once all the bones were out of the air he slammed his staff down while his flowing chakra cloak showed that its colors were more affected by the gravity than he was, they were in an infinite downward flow. "My control over gravity won't let me sink down like them, it's you and me now." He turned into a flash of dark colors and hit her on three sides nearly at once, and she was stuck trying to keep up with his speed but the gravity forced her to take every hit. He appeared behind her but she countered by extending the bones on her back and made him cancel that attack and shift in front of her with his staff ready to swing.

She looked up at him and smiled again. 'Ranton Kōga!' (Gale Style Fang of Light). She pursed her lips and shot a super thin beam of chakra that made Zeko widen his eyes and bend backwards to dodge, but his staff was sliced like butter against a hot knife. His foot slammed into her jaw and his left hand clenched while he coated it with purple chakra, he was low to the ground and lunged with his hand reeled back.

"Rikudo: Moeta!" (Six Paths: Burn). He slammed his fist into her face and the high gravity didn't even look like it existed with how she went flying, and her landing hurt doubly from the increased weight. He pulled one of Jenki's orbs into his right hand and dashed after her. He jumped above her and her eyes opened wide. "Oh hell." More giant chakra fists and he was midair so dodging was much more difficult. His limbo clones emerged and blocked some of the oncoming hits but more ripped right through his defense and pummeled his body higher into the air. The orb in his hand fell down harmlessly while Kaguya slowly sat up to get a following attack ready. The orb fell right beside her and she stood up slightly hunched with full intent to deliver-

"Level two!" He was behind her with his flickering chakra cloak billowing over him and a ball of water in his hand. "Suiton Rasengan!" (Water style spiraling ball). He slammed the spiraling ball of water style chakra straight into her back and blew part of her torso away from the high pressure locked inside of the ball.

'He marked his Orb!' Another vacuum fist knocked him away and she regenerated her torso and with her byakugan she saw Kanna slowly crawling towards her from behind. Jenki was on his stomach and all of his orbs were behind him and Kaguya prepared more bones with the intent to kill him. "Die Jen-" She tilted forward when another Limbo clone hit the back of her head and Zeko flashed in front of her with his staff spinning in a blur, and he stopped its rotation to stab it right through her neck but it was superficial damage at best.

No more time to play around. She pulled them all into another dimension with carved rock formations as the ground and a multicolored sky above them. The insane pressure was off of them and they moved freely once again and Kanna used her freedom to look up and see Kaguya standing right there, bones protruding from her arms. She turned her back on Kanna and saw the wolf beside the snake, both were ready to finish this and turned into green and purple flashes of light.

Kaguya's fighting style changed enough to counter them and when they rushed her as mere forms of light she caught a staff in both hands. "I only get more powerful while I'm here." She held their weapons firmly and they strained to push even harder. She let them go and they both flashed around, each one striking against part of her while she blocked their hits with her bones but since they didn't break the skin, it wouldn't kill them. Zeko approached and Kaguya smiled then exhaled a massive breath of chakra and when the cloud cleared it showed that Zeko was flash frozen with his arms defensively in front of him.

She turned and flew at Jenki with a hand outstretched and nearly caught him around the neck but her arm was sucked away to a different reality entirely. Kanna had a smarmy grin on her face even with fresh blood coming from her eye, and Jenki took his chance to fall back and weave three hand seals. "Nagareru ōkami tsume." (Flowing wolf fang). His chakra cloak formed a ten foot green wolf that ran straight for the Otsutsuki and bit down on her other arm, but she ripped it off with her fresh limb and spears of earth ripped through it to reduce it to wisps of chakra. Her hair extended and this time was taking the nature of lava, he made a ball of Truthseeker Orbs when the lava whips started lashing at him.

She raised a hand and shot a ball of her own chakra that crashed right through his and sent him through the air freely. The sound of ice shattering drew her attention and she was hit in the face before she could turn all the way around. "You lit-" He bashed her away with his staff then grabbed- Nothing. He pulled one of the orbs soaked with his chakra out of wherever they were and it turned bright purple and he flew towards Kanna and in an ultimate betrayal slammed it into her body, but it was only for a split second since Kaguya quickly was the one being hit with the Orb and Jenki was behind her holding her in place.

"Hiraishin: hantaisoku." (Flying Raijin: Reverse side). That Orb was packed with Zeko's natural chakra and the effects were fast. For the third time she started turning into the rabbit but this one was different…

Zeko's eyes saw that there was a difference of chakra in one spot and it confused him, but whatever it was he decided to strike while the iron was hot and moved as quickly as his flight would let him. He stabbed into the shifting mass of chakra then both pulled and drained to rip something out of it. He returned to the ground and saw that the rabbit started to- To dry up, as if it was drained of whatever gave it most of its vitality. It wasn't a bright white anymore and was now a dull gray but that didn't matter to them. Another flowing wolf fang and it was ripped into but it turned on Jenki and fired a barrage of tailed beast bombs, and he returned the attacks in kind by shooting almost every Truthseeker Orb at his disposal to set them off before they reached him. One slipped through and nailed him dead on, the arms of his chakra cloak fading away in his defense.

The beast prepared another volley but it found that its jaw was forced shut from a limbo clone uppercut and all that happened was an explosion that tore part of its face away. Zeko had a chance and he took it, he created all of his limbo clones and flew up to the ten tails. Just one touch was all it took, five hands in total with a combined goal.

"Six Paths: Catastrophic Planetary Devastation!"

The land ripped itself away in chunks and centered on the giant beast in the sky, more and more earth gathering on it no matter how much it fought against the power of gravity. Jenki gathered his last two orbs and filled them with chakra, turning them gold. They fused into one that he grabbed and extended it into a single golden beam that went as far as the normal eye could see. "Kinrin Tensei Baku!"(Golden wheel rebirth explosion). He swung the giant beam upwards to the forming planetoid and cleaved it into two halves… It wasn't done, after creation comes destruction.

Zeko pulled the other two orbs he had from wherever they were and formed what was left of his staff into a smaller one. They swirled around his hand and formed into a single shape that gave away what his move was about to be. "Konohanasakuya." (Cherry Blossom Bloom) He flung the flower shaped mass into the split planetoid right when Jenki went for another swing, and when the two attacks met there was a flash of everything and of nothing. Destruction met Creation, Rebirth met Death and there was an anomaly. One that started collapsing the dimension they were in.

"We should go!" Jenki grabbed Kanna and started flying away from the center of it all, the void that was swallowing everything around them slowly but surely, while Zeko stopped and examined the thing he pulled from the giant Rabbit beast. He decided to pick it up and carry it over his shoulder then fly after- Run… His chakra mode just ran out so he was going to run after Jenki. He locked onto a spot in front of the two and opened his own portal back to their world that they went right out of and he wasn't far behind.

Jenki landed on the hard ground of the mountain range that this started in and looked around to see that he was really back in a world where things made sense. "You can put me down now." Oh right he was still holding onto Kanna. She dusted herself off and rubbed some of the blood off her face while Zeko set the object he had onto the ground. "Is that- That's her!"

It was the same Otsutsuki who they just finished fighting but she was different. Her hair wasn't as long and she only had two eyes instead of three. There was also the fact that she didn't have a massive chakra signature that nearly made Kanna wet herself. And things got complicated when she opened her eyes. "What the-" She saw Jenki and Zeko standing over her and quickly tried to make an explosive orb of chakra but nothing came to her. "I can't- What did you do?" She managed to make a single all killing ash bone from her right hand but against the two in front of her it wouldn't do much alone.

His Tenseigan mode switched off and the eyes followed suit. The flowerlike pattern dissolving into the air, leaving him with his normal eyes. That fight was so draining that Zeko was back to his seven pointed sharingan and blood was dripping from his left eye. "I ripped you away from all of that chakra. Now you're just you. None of that power that you had." She was disturbingly calm and her eyes flicked from one to the other, internally anxious over what her fate was going to be. Time for the Talk-no Jutsu.

"But now this is a chance for you to start fresh. You genuinely care about humans or you wouldn't have decided to try and take our chakra just to protect the rest of them." Jenki reasoned. "Maybe it's better for you to stay like this and care for us instead of having all the chakra you had." Were things really better when she was a weak member of her clan? She could still care for and protect people like this. And these two were just fighting her trying to not be killed yet decided she could use another chance after having two. "Not everyone is like us and can protect themselves, you could help them so much the way you are."

"Plus I never intended to kill you, I just wanted to take away one of Sho's Otsutsuki since he would've found a way to drain you and give you to a bunch of people. If you stay like this it keeps him from amassing more strength." Cold and calculating as usual. Zeko had a point but it didn't give a good reason as to why she should ally with them.

Jenki just sat down and folded his hands together. "You're seriously telling me you weren't fighting with your usual killing intent?" A head shake no was his answer. "How the tables have tabled! I'm the one fighting lethally and you weren't?"

Zeko crossed his arms and turned around with a huff. "People love to imply that fighting to kill and not to kill are that much different. I'm fully capable of giving it my all and not crossing the line to kill someone." They continued their bickering while Kaguya looked back and forth.

'They really are just like them. Maybe… Maybe this is my chance to do things right.' She stood up to her full height and revealed that she was noticeably taller than Zeko but not as tall as Jenki, then she bowed her head. "I've given it thought and I will join you both. For the sake of protecting those who need it."

"An ally out of the Rabbit Goddess? Never would've thought we'd get that far eh Jenki?"

Jenki just chuckled while Kanna sat in place until she came to a conclusion and asked an important question, one that could affect the entire world. "Does this mean she's gonna be my second mom?"

Jenki just pondered while Zeko held the bridge of his nose. Kaguya just walked up to the girl and pat her on the head affectionately. It wasn't an answer with words but there was a message behind it, she was going to help every human that needed it the right way from that point.


A/N: So I truly enjoyed writing this and it helps that I planned to have chapters that flash back and forward, don't forget that so far the story is a regaling. Comment or don't, favorite or don't, you have that personal choice. Hell, write 3 paragraphs about how the story sucks if you want, I already got a pm over that yet here I am. See ya next time
