Chapter 52: Edge of the Yokai War
( With Sadako.)
Sadako Uzumaki and her forces we're advancing greatly. As they decimated half of Orochimaru's forces.
Hanzo the salamander was slain by Skarlet Uzumaki Lu Bu had ended the revived kages.
Itachi was still fighting his younger brother who Is losing, as the Uchiha avenger glared at his older brother who couldn't understand why was he losing?
"What's the matter? Ran out of chakra and ran out of options as well little brother?" Itachi asked with a blank look making the Emo Uchiha glare.
"Damn it! After all this training with Orochimaru, I'm still not strong enough to kill him!" Growled Sasuke narrowing his eyes at his brother he even went into his curse seal mode and still can't beat his brother.
"It seems I will use my final trump card, the Susano'o " Itachi said now animating his Susano'o in its imperfect form, glowing orange like red
Sasuke looked worried that his older brother has the Susano'o he backed away.
"Give up now Sasuke, you are no match for me." said Itachi as Sasuke could only scowl at the older Uchiha.
"Never! I will never give up! Not until I avenge my clan that you have slain that night! I will avenge Father! Mother! Our aunts! Uncles! And cousins! That you killed!" Sasuke said with defiance and glaring at his brother with all the hate he could muster.
He charged up a Chidori and charged at his older brother.
Itachi just glared
"So you have chosen death, farewell Foolish little brother." Itachi said as his Susano'o manifested a sword. Known as the Tosaka blade.
Sasuke was closing in. His Chidori must pierce through his brother's Susano'o
Before he could successfully touch his older brother, Itachi brought down the Tosaka blade and vanquished his younger brother in one slash.
Uchiha Sasuke was no more.
Having ended his little brother he now goes to help the rest of Sadako's army to fight Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was seething in rage when he saw Itachi kill his future vessel.
"That son of a bitch Itachi! How dare he kill my vessel!" Orochimaru growled with rage as he was so tempted to go down there and fight the Uchiha Heir.
"Do you think it's wise to do that? We need to summon Him! " said Obito who is talking sense into the Snake sannin to not go down there and face Itachi.
The Snake sannin snarled he will definitely make Itachi pay for killing his prized Student and future vessel.
"We must do it! So we can end the battle once and for all!" Orochimaru said as he weaves handsigns.
"Edo Tensei Jutsu!" He shouted as a Coffin rose in front of them.
The coffin lid opened revealing a red armored man with long black hair.
Walking out of the Coffin was Uchiha Madara.
Now the battle just got red hot.
( Uzu Tower)
Hashirama widened his eyes as he sensed a familiar presence. As he wasn't the only one who sensed it.
"You sense it too brother?" Tobirama said
"Yes Brother... He's back... Madara is very much alive and is on the island." Hashirama said it seems he will have to fight his former best friend
In the courtyard Stood Hachishaku-sama. The sandaime Hokage, Taeko and a bound and cuffed Asuma Sarutobi.
Asuma stared up at his revived father who looked grim and saddened as he was trying to fight off Hachishaku-sama's control of him.
"What is this?" Hiruzen asked already dreading the answer looking at his wounded son.
"Taeko, Release his restraints." Said her mother as she did as told as Asuma fell on the ground getting up weakly as she turned towards the old Sandaime.
"You are going to fight, and kill your own Son, Hiruzen." She said shocking both Sarutobi father and son.
"No... no... you can't force me to do this! Please Hachishaku-sama!" Hiruzen pleaded as she had a cruel smirk on her face.
"I can and will make you. Kill your own offspring. This is your punishment for allowing all of those crimes to happen to my beloved Naru-kun." She said in a deathly tone
"Please! Not Asuma! Please anyone but him!" He pleaded
"You have no choice In the matter, now KILL HIM!" She commanded as the Kunai seal within Hiruzen made him comply to her commands, she didn't need to implant the kunai seals within Kushina, Mito, Minato, Harashimara and Tobirama, just Hiruzen because she knew he would rebel against her.
Asuma could only look horrified his own Father is being forced to kill him.
"Father..." Asuma said weakly holding his trench knives seeing his father summon his Staff.
"Asuma... forgive me. I can't fight the control, you must try to kill me before I kill you!" He said as he lunged at his son.
Hachishaku-sama laughed evilly as she watched both Father and Son to the death.
"Po Po Po Po Po Po Po Po Po Po!" Laughed the 8 foot woman.
Taeko even grinned.
"You have the order to kill the Sandaime after he kills his son, Taeko, he proved his usefulness." Said Hachishaku-sama who teleported as her daughter nodded as she watched the two Only members of the Sarutobi clan to fight.
( Meanwhile)
The Kages were being pushed back by Kayako's forces alongside her was Yugito and Raige-onna as the three Yokai and their Army clashed with the Kage army along with monks and priests.
The kills of every Shinobi and Kunoichi was doubling fast. Not even the monks, priests and Samurai's were also being snuffed out.
Medic Kunoichi's were too busy trying to save the wounded but they too were being slaughtered.
Darui who was leading a squadron was obliterated by Raige-Onna with the use of her Thunder pike. As she ended her former comrades.
Kayako leaped on the Yondaime Raikage who is trying to restrain him with her hair, and strangling him.
"Get off me!" He hit Kayako with a lariat sending the girl flying.
Little did he know Yugito in her demon cat form pounced on him pinning him down like a aggressive leopard as she started to maul him with her claws and bit onto his shoulder making him roar in pain.
He managed to hit her in the gut which made her yowl in pain.
She got back up snarling at him.
He clutched his bleeding shoulder where she bit him. Glaring at her he turned on his Lightning armor.
"Bring it on!" He challenged glaring at Yugito as she charged at him with the intent to kill her former Kage.
"Into the Tree line!" Yelled a Samurai commander as he and his troops all did a snake formation to move to the tree line into the forests.
Uzu Samurais all lined up and blocked their formation.
"They stopping us from advancing further into the forest!" Exclaimed a Monk fighting a demon rat with his stave.
Kayako croaked as she snapped five samurai's necks with her hair.
"Tear the bitch apart!" Yelled a Samurai captain as he he and swarms of Samurai's all focused their attention on Kayako.
She flared her demonic aura and lengthen her hair into many tendrils and sent them all out at the incoming samurais aiming for their necks, their limbs and piercing through their bodies. Bones could be heard snapping and broken from her breaking them and strangling them to the point they turned blue and died on the spot.
Kayako croaked louder as she continued to snap every neck of those who come pass her.
Raige-Onna pointed her Thunderpike at the more incoming ships and fired multiple Lightning ray blasts at the ships destroying them in the process, sinking them.
She opened her mouth and breathed her thunder breath at a group of monks erasing them on the spot.
"This is getting out of hand! Release the Statue Buddha's!" Cried a Monk who lost his left arm
"Begone demons and undead!" Shouted a Priest as they all tossed a Buddha statue doll as it suddenly grew to size and became to life.
The Buddha's opened a palm of their hand blasting a purity beam at every Undead Uzumaki samurai disintegrating them in the process, even the demon Rats and Scorpions were being turned to ashes.
Kayako glared when she saw the Buddha living statues make their attack upon her forces. Seeing each of her troops get decimated. A Demon Rat appeared delaying a message from her mother to her, frowning as she looked straight ahead.
Raige-Onna Appears besides Kayako.
"What must we do Kayako-sama?" Asked Raige-Onna
"Fall back, we must withdraw, mother has a plan she wants us to lure them into a death trap." Answered Kayako
"WITHDRAW! All undead forces of Uzu pull back! We are retreating back to Uzu!" Kayako yelled at the remaining troops and summons.
Immediately all Undead Uzu Samurai's began to pull back and retreat. Same with the demon rats and scorpions.
Yugito who recently ripped the Yondaime Raikage's jugular in her Cat demon demon heard the order and went back to her mistress Kayako without a hint of remorse that she killed her former Kage.
"Look! They are retreating!" Shouted a Samurai
"After them! We can win this battle! Let us go!" Shouted a Samurai General as all Shinobi, priests, Monks and priestess's and Kunoichi cheered.
"As long as we can band together we can win this war!" Shouted a Konoha Shinobi as the allied forces charged forth into the forest.
( Meanwhile with Naruto)
Naruto and his family had brought Jiraiya to Tsunade. As the Senju heiress healed him up.
"Tsunade... please! He-Help! Please!" He pleaded looking up at his former team mate.
"Sorry Jiraiya but you had this coming for a long time. I'm doing what's right for my godson." Tsunade answered as she cracked her knuckles prepared to beat the breaks off him.
"No... NO! NOOO!! PLEASE!" Jiraiya screamed as Tsunade, Minato, Kushina and Naruto surrounded Jiraiya and went to work on him.
This probably would be the last time you hear Jiraiya of the Sannin and toads scream. As he was brutally attacked and beaten to death by the family and his team mate.
Was he wrong for what he's done for Naruto? Was he wrong for neglecting Naruto? Was he wrong for leaving the boy unattended in a motel with Hachishaku-sama.
Yes. Yes he was, and he was paying the price for all of what he has done, suffering for his actions.
Before darkness could truly take him to death's door, he saw Hachishaku-sama staring down at him with a vindictive smile on her face, she then laughed at him before saying.
"You've lost Jiraiya, for I, have won." We're her last words to him as death has finally took him.
Jiraiya was no more.
To be continued.
