Chapter 4: Mother's Head…
There was a crowd surrounding the monument of Midgar. The monument was now wrapped with chains and in a circle around it was the children under Kadaj's control. Yazoo and Loz released the chains they were holding and walked closer to the crowd of people around them. The concerned parents of the children were trying to get them to move away from the circle but they didn't move nor did they react to their parent's pulling them. Other people in the crowd were yelling at Yazoo and Loz.
"What are you doing!"
"Give us back our children!"
Yazoo and Loz paid no mind to them and gave a playful look to each other.
"Hey, are you listening?" A man yelled from the crowd.
"Why the hell are you doing this?" Another man asked them, braving forward to Yazoo.
"How can you sickos justify this?" A woman was holding a man back as he kept jerking forward but she had a good hold on him.
Yazoo looked at Loz and Loz nodded at him. Yazoo then turned back to the man who was being held back and raised his hand, palm up, at the man. The man stopped struggling, the woman realized him. They both watched him in confusion.
There was a loud roar and a wolf demon emerged from under the ground. The wolf demon attacked the man and the crowd began to scatter. A woman grabbed her child and ran.
More began to appear around the circle and the crowds started to back away. The wolf demons began to charge forward into the crowd and attacked at the people that ran around them. Another one appeared and hit people nearest it with its head.
Another jumped at a short black haired boy, biting him in the neck. Another ran past them and grabbed a man by the leg and dragged him away before spinning around and throwing him across the ground.
"What's going on here?" Shizune said, looking at the running people. Neji was with her, he looked around as well but when his eyes stopped on a familiar boy he ran straight to him.
"Denzel!" he bent down and closed his hands on Denzel's shoulders, giving them a light shake. "Denzel"
Denzel started to look up at Neji, his eyes opening slowly, behind Neji Shizune gasped when she saw his eyes.
"It can't be…Jenova?" Shizune came forward and pulled Denzel's chin up so she could look. His eyes were still light bluish green, the pupils slit, but suddenly the eyes suddenly flickered from his regular deep blue eyes back to the light blue green.
Back at the front of the monument Yazoo and Loz had picked up the chains again and together they began to pull.
"And what we up to?" a voice suddenly rang out, Yazoo and Loz turned to face Suigetsu and Jugo. Suigetsu had his round pipe and it was resting on his shoulder. Jugo's hands were bare but the look in his eyes was intimidating enough.
"You know, Mother, is here" Yazoo looked back at the monument.
"Oh, yeah?" Jugo asked back. Loz nodded and looked back at the monument. "Yeah this uh…thing…monument thing…Uchiha made it" Loz turned back and Suigetsu grinned.
"Oh no, you're just too clever" he tapped his head, Jugo stepped forward.
"Accept it, you're wrong"
"And wherever she is we just don't know" Yazoo clinched his teeth. Suigetsu looked back at Jugo and they both laughed.
"Hm…what? Are the peons not trusting?" Suigetsu glared at Yazoo but looked back at Jugo for something but he just straightened his tie and avoided Suigetsu's look. He looked back at Yazoo and back at Jugo a few more times before he shook his head and charged at Yazoo, rising his pipe, Jugo followed.
"He-ya!" Suigetsu yelled.
#
Sasuke was seated in his wheelchair overlooking the city. He was in a skyscraper that was still be constructed; her chair was pushed to the edge. His entire body was still cloaked in the white sheet. He didn't turn to Kadaj who stepped closer to him, his eyes looking to where the monument was, waiting for the signal that his two older brothers had found Mother's head.
"Say, Kadaj. I've got a question for you." Sasuke spoke up.
"Humph, I've got an answer" Kadaj stepped closest to the edge of the building and looked down at the streets below.
"You said that you needed Jenova's cells in order to be whole again. What did you mean by that?"
Kadaj seemed a little confused with Sasuke's question, why is he always asking questions he knows the answer to? Kadaj shrugged and answered "Him. He's coming back"
"Sephiroth. The nightmare."
"So they say." Kadaj didn't seemed fazed.
"You mean…?" Sasuke's eyebrows creased as he watched Kadaj.
"I've never known Sephiroth…I…I just sense him there. It's unbearable…to think that Mother would want Sephiroth more than…" Kadaj's voice broke, he bit his lip.
"Poor little remnant"
"It doesn't matter who she picks, we'll all have the same end!" Kadaj shouted out of anger. "Mother came to this planet after a long journey. To rid the cosmos of fools like you" Kadaj spat.
Sasuke was rather calm.
"But, you know as well as I do" Kadaj relaxed and took a breath. "Nothing's changed since she's got here."
Kadaj turned to look at Sasuke, "I have to be the one to change it. To make her happy…if Mother wielded it, I would do anything."
"Humph, the nightmare returns."
"As long as you exist, the nightmares will come again and again." Sasuke didn't seem threatened by Kadaj, not the youngest son of his once sensei.
"The Lifestream that courses through our planet…back and forth across the borders of life and death. If that cycle is the very truth of life…then history, too, will inevitably repeat itself." Sasuke's eyes narrowed on the thin boy in front of him.
"So go on, bring your Jenovas and your Sephiroths. It won't matter. We'll do what life dictates…and stop you every single time."
"Please sir; is that your excuse for going after Mother yourself? You don't seem that sorry…"
"Sorry? Humph, I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
The Materia in Kadaj's wrist started to glow and it emitted a strange hum. Mother?
Kadaj looked back at Sasuke, grinning. "Good. Now let's put an end to all this." Very slowly Kadaj raised his arm and the Materia's power started to collect around Kadaj's arm, glowing like fire, the color of chakra. The humming got louder as he summoned more chakra. The wind was starting to pick up with the chakra and Sasuke could only watch as Kadaj's hands came together in familiar signs. Taking off his glove he bit his finger hard until it bled, he licked the blood of his lip.
He turned, 'Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!' A large seal formed in the air and the Materia shot through it straight for the sky. The sky suddenly opened up and thunder began to crack loudly above, lightening shot around the clouds as it spun and turned dark. The clouds began to funnel, the lightening erupting everywhere.
#
Two men who were running from the wolf demons suddenly stopped and stared at the funnel coming down.
"Ahh!" the man could only watch in awe.
The funnel disappeared and a ball of clouds started to get bigger and fall towards the ground.
The cloud started to turn into hard skin and wings emerged. The large beast roared and its face took shape. This beast was known as Bahamut SIN, a familiar monster that was summoned long ago in the final war. The beast closely resembled a stone dragon or a gargoyle. But this time, its wings and body were more metallic than it had looked previously. The wings extended out and SIN roared again.
The man watched SIN fly down, his friend was grabbed by a wolf demon behind him, he started to run but the force of its might wings threw him to the ground.
There were still people running around the monument, some weren't going to leave until they got their children. Kadaj's control of them was wavering and some were beginning to wake up from their controlled daze. But when SIN began to fly low towards them they had no choice but to either grab them or just leave, either way, they did.
Neji and Shizune were still trying to get Denzel out of Kadaj's control. The crowd around them was finally starting to get smaller. "This doesn't look good" Shizune warned.
"Denzel, we need to get out of here" Neji yelled at him, shaking him again but he didn't respond.
"Damn it" seeing no other choice Neji put his hands together in a sign and then he reopened his eyes 'Byakugan!' Neji's kekki genki returning once again.
"Look at me Denzel" even though the Byakugan couldn't do the same things as the Sharingan maybe the pattern of Neji's eyes would be able to take his attention away long enough for Neji to lessen some of Denzel's chakra points so that his mind would reboot, washing Kadaj's control away.
"Neji!" Shizune warned.
"Watch out!" Shizune yelled and ran back to them. A wolf demon had seen Neji and rushed over to attack him. Shizune was faster and she stopped at Neji's back and closed her hands in a fist, ready to strike back, but suddenly SIN's foot slammed down on the wolf demon, killing it instantly. Shizune was frozen as it bent its head down and roared, making their ears pop.
Shizune took Denzel in her arms to protect him from SIN. Neji turned around, Byakugan still activated. "Great…him again?" Neji sighed.
SIN jumped over them and landed on the top of the monument.
Suigetsu charged with his pipe but he looked up and swung it backwards catching Jugo right in the nose, he fell cursing. "Whoa…"
Jugo stood back up, holding his noise, and turned to the monument. Suigetsu was frozen in awe.
SIN reached down and bit a chain in half.
"Hello…" Suigetsu mumbled. "Oh, shit"
Suigetsu swung his pipe around, and again it almost hit Jugo but he dodged it again. Suigetsu went running, Jugo followed.
Yazoo and Loz looked away from SIN to the running Suigetsu and Jugo. Loz reactivated his weapon and together they chased after them.
Suigetsu only stopped running when he past one of the kids still in Kadaj's control. Suigetsu, quickly, grabbed the boy and the boy stuck his fingers in Suigetsu's nose. "Uck…" Suigetsu looked up when he heard a cry and jumped away when Loz went to crash into the spot he was standing.
SIN's eyes turned red and he opened his mouth, different shades of chakra began to form in his mouth. He jumped up and hovered over the monument, the chakra cloud getting bigger and more powerful.
Suigetsu was running away with the boy in his arms while Jugo had one in each arm. "Is it following us?" Suigetsu asked, Jugo shook his head, "I'm not looking"
Then, SIN's chakra became its max and it shot it straight at the monument. Everyone went flying as the monument exploded, debris being thrown everywhere.
Suigetsu and Jugo were on the ground, starting to open their eyes. The kids that were with them got up and looked around, they were no longer in Kadaj's control. They ran off, looking for their parents.
Suigetsu got up first, his pipe sliding against the pavement. Jugo got up slower from his previous injuries, still affecting him.
Yazoo and Loz walked up to Suigetsu and Jugo. "Are we having fun yet, huh?" Yazoo asked them, Loz chuckled and kicked some dirt at Jugo.
"The time of my life!" Suigetsu answered with a fake laugh. Then he sent a spinning kick at Yazoo, Jugo rearing to punch Loz, Yazoo flipped back and started to send his own hands and feet at Suigetsu. Suigetsu brought his pipe forward again but it didn't get close to Yazoo.
Yazoo kicked Suigetsu back, flying into the pavement. Using his feet to propel him up Suigetsu got up and charged at Yazoo, "can't you guys call it a day?" he spun his pipe around and Yazoo jumped up and away. Landing on the roof of a two story building rather gracefully, not at all like his father.
"What? Just as soon as we find Mother. That'll be the end of everything." Suigetsu growled at him and went to the base of the building. Not using any chakra he climbed the building with his hands and feet. He went up quickly and flipped over the ledge to send his pipe down hard but Yazoo simply stepped back.
Back on the ground Jugo was fighting off Loz. They both reared a punch at each other but they used their free hand to catch them. "Damn punks" Jugo fought against Loz's power with all of his.
Loz forced Jugo backwards but Jugo fought to straighten himself. "What do you need Jenova's head for?" he demanded, forcing Loz backwards, kicking him in the stomach. Then he flipped backwards but Loz landed on his feet, both of them upside down. Loz smiled brightly at Jugo who gasped at Loz's strength.
Loz flipped over and threw Jugo away with all his strength. Jugo went a far distance, even past the building Yazoo and Suigetsu were fighting on.
They were trading blows but nothing serious was landing. Yazoo jumped back again, "forget you're little Reunion and get a grip!" Suigetsu yelled. Yazoo dodged Suigetsu easily and said "All we want is Mother!" he rasped and kicked him squarely in the face. Suigetsu flew off the building.
Jugo finally landed and Loz landed ahead of him, walking to him slowly. "Mother knows, when she gets here she'll decide what's best" Loz explained. "Now, where's Mother?"
Before Jugo could say anything a giant steel billboard hit Jugo directly on the head. He struggled to stay standing and a few seconds later Suigetsu landed on top of him, pushing Jugo to the ground again. Yazoo landed next to Loz, they exchanged a glance.
Suigetsu got up slowly and stepped on Jugo's favorite sunglasses, they had come out of his jacket pocket. Jugo looked at his glasses and gaped. Suigetsu dusted himself off and walked to the side.
"Mother, shmother. It's Jenova's friggin head!" Jugo checked his jacket pocket and discovered another pair of his sunglasses, he put them back.
"Hey!" Loz yelled.
"I will not have you talk about Mother that way!" Yazoo yelled angrily, his bluish green eyes burning. "You meanie!" Loz included.
Suigetsu laughed at Loz and Jugo wiped blood off his cheek. "Our apologies" he said.
"Your Ma's cool…what the hell am I saying!" They both ran forward, Yazoo and Suigetsu jumped at each other while Jugo crashed into Loz and punched him right in the face, he fell backwards. Suigetsu kicked Yazoo back, Loz caught his arm preventing him from sliding backwards.
Suigetsu landed on one knee and gave thumbs up to Jugo, his familiar fishy grin showing.
Loz scrambled up and charged at Suigetsu, "you little—"
Loz, using his weapon, punched Suigetsu in the temple. Jugo caught him but the impact made them both fly back. Yazoo jumped behind them and Loz walked in front of them. They both stood up, breathing hard, Jugo facing Loz and Suigetsu facing Yazoo, their backs to each other.
#
The monument was completely destroyed, only a crater stood for the once monument that symbolized the events that happened two years ago. SIN landed back on the crater and using its teeth it continued to dig into the ground to find Jenova's head. The city sign of Midgar was ablaze, not far from SIN.
SIN roared with anger when it couldn't find it, it continued to dig.
Ways away from SIN Shizune had lain over Denzel to protect him for the blast. Neji was next to her, starting to wake up, but he didn't move.
The ground shook and rumbled as Denzel woke up, he moved from under Shizune and looked at her, confused and then concerned. Thanks to Neji, he was no longer under Kadaj's control, his eyes back to the deep blue.
"Shizune…? Neji…" he looked at Neji, neither moved. Denzel clinched his teeth and turned to SIN.
"You son of a bitch!" Denzel yelled as he ran at SIN, no fear in his bones, just anger. SIN turned his attention to Denzel and roared at him, warning. Just then, Neji picked himself up and saw Denzel running at SIN, "Denzel!" Neji forced himself up on his feet but he stopped when someone familiar dropped his hand on Denzel's shoulder stopping him.
"Whoa fool! Better watch where you dancing or big dragon boy here might sweep ya feet" Killer Bee laughed and on his right hand, no longer a hand, but a large gun began to activate and it formed into a machine gun. "Get back buddy" Killer Bee pushed Denzel back then looked back at Neji, giving him a wink.
"Look after this little one White Eyes" He told Neji. Then he turned and shot at SIN, making him draw back. "Marlene better be safe, uh?" Neji didn't know but he nodded, "Killer Bee" he acknowledged.
With nothing more to say he charged forward, gun ready, but he wasn't alone. There was a flash of reddish orange and the Nine Tailed Fox appeared, running next to Killer Bee. They exchanged a nod before going after SIN. "How did ya get smaller Kurama?" Killer Bee asked the Nine Tailed Fox. Kurama's eyes turned blood red, "don't ask"
"Watch 'ya foxy boy" Cait complained as he held onto the Nine Tailed Fox's neck. He looked at Cait and growled "watch it cat, or I'll eat you".
Nine tails jumped up and bit down on SIN's upper cheek. He bit down and latched on even as SIN flew up and around. Killer Bee shot after SIN from below.
"Jings. Crivvens" Cait yelled. SIN flew past Killer Bee; he ducked to avoid SIN's claws. Nine tails dug into SIN's cheek but he wasn't getting deep enough and he was had to let go soon but it wasn't until SIN threw his head to the side did Nine tails let go. He landed on his feet and Cait was turned around, "my goodness" he said hysterically. Nine tails summoned chakra into his mouth until it formed into a dark red circle and then he ate it. His body expanded and then it returned to normal when he shot out a bright red blast at SIN. SIN landed on the ground and Nine tails jumped away from being swashed.
SIN got up and went to attack Killer Bee. Killer Bee's gun suddenly stopped firing, overheated, and Killer Bee blocked his head from SIN who was reaching down to eat him. Suddenly a demon wind shuriken came spinning in the air and hit SIN across the eyes. He reared back and roared. Killer Bee looked to the owner of the shuriken with a grin.
Moegi, no longer a small girl but a young woman, came in from a parachute and grabbed her shuriken as she came down. Despite being grown up her appearance wasn't much different than it used to be. She still had her strange pigtail hair but instead of her green goggles she was wearing the old leaf village head band. She was wearing a red tank top and short black pants. Her boots had lances even though they went up the leg. Lastly she had a mini sleeveless hoodie; it came down at her chest. The parachute covered her and she emerged from underneath with a bright smile.
"All right, whose been touching my Materia?" she demanded from Neji, he smiled at the girl, "the bad guys, naturally" he shrugged.
"Ooh…!" Moegi spun her shuriken around and ran for SIN.
"Who's that?" Denzel asked, he came back with Shizune who was grinning big. "Was that Moegi-chan? She's sporting Sakura's old clothes…" Shizune noticed.
Suddenly, without their notice, five wolf demon creatures jumped up and dove for them. Shizune clasped herself over Denzel and Neji bowed down in his Hyuuga style but suddenly a long pole emerged from below them. The only non-shinobi in the group, Cid, was here and he took care of the last wolf demons, they dissipated away.
He rubbed his teeth and looked up to the sky "she's a beaut, my Shera, latest model." A giant jet looking ship appeared from the clouds, it looked better than Cid's older model.
"I'll give ya the dang tour afterward" he said before turning away.
"He never changes, doesn't he?" Shizune said, hinting a little blush in her cheeks.
"Where can I buy a phone?" a dark voice asked from behind them.
"Itachi!" Shizune stiffened but Neji was at ease. Itachi walked from behind them and looked at SIN, not impressed.
"Who's he?" Denzel asked, in awe of Itachi's dark appearance.
"They're our friends" Neji answered confidently. His face then turned serious, he looked at Shizune who nodded. "I need to go and help"
"Go, I'll protect Denzel" Neji nodded and headed towards SIN.
There was a sound of someone's brakes rubbing. Denzel smiled and turned around to see Sakura come from the street behind them. She wheeled around them and stopped. The hidden compartment of the bike opening and her swords coming out, she started to take them and put them in her back holder. Shizune stepped closer with Denzel.
"Don't worry, I took Marlene home." Denzel released his held breath, relieved. Sakura looked at him and gave him a reassuring nod.
Sakura paused and announced "I feel…lighter."
"Hmm…?" SIN was flying away towards the construction sites.
"I think I lost some weight. All that dilly-dally…" Sakura watched SIN land on one of the uncompleted skyscrapers.
"I'm going back to see Marlene, okay Sakura?" Denzel suddenly spoke up; Shizune had been looking admirably at Sakura, she looks…more confident. I haven't seen that in a long time…
"We'll wait for you" Denzel nodded then turned to run off but stopped a ways away. "We'll see you there, right, Sakura?" he asked.
With a confident grin she nodded and Denzel didn't doubt her, he nodded again and ran home. Shizune got on the bike behind Sakura, "we need to get going, they need our help" Sakura nodded and closed the compartments. They sped off towards SIN.

Killer Bee was using his machine gun at SIN but they weren't doing much damage. SIN opened its mouth and shot out a chakra blast. Killer Bee jumped back and the blast landed on the ground and turned into a ball of fire. Killer Bee didn't have anything to land on; he was falling through the air. At the last moment he shot his hand up and he grabbed an extended steel beam.
From within the fire Itachi jumped out and pulled a gun from under his cloak, it had three barrels on it. Itachi landed on the steel beam and jumped away before SIN could grab him, he continued to shoot.
Cid was running to get in front of SIN. Using his pole as for leverage he propelled up and landed on the back of SIN's neck. Using the sharp side he stabbed SIN in his jugular. SIN flew up and under steel beams. Cid held on but ahead of him was a steel beam; SIN was going to crush him against it, but at the last second Nine tails, using Cait's rocket boost, caught Cid and dropped him off to safety. SIN broke off the top steel beam and landed on another, roaring. It turned around and went back to fight more.
Itachi went after SIN and jumped far after him, he shot at him until his clip ran out. SIN flew above him and brought his attention to Moegi. She couldn't take him head on so she flipped back. Itachi jumped off the steel beam and shot after him again, SIN roared in pain when one got him right in the eye, blood seeped out and hit Itachi along the forehead.
Despite being unable to see for a moment Itachi jumped on the steel beam that SIN was about to pass and sent more of his clip into his face. At the last second he jumped up and back, SIN clawed to grab him but he wasn't able to. Itachi landed on his hand and climbed up to his shoulder to get better range, he jumped from arm to arm.
Ahead, Moegi was running up a steel beam, glancing to SIN. Then jumping back she tossed her shuriken but it caught Sin on his horns, not dealing much damage. Itachi jumped off but continued to fire. Nine tails jumped at SIN again with Cait being more help than the last attempt. Moegi used a railing to jump high and she caught her shuriken, she turned and watched Nine tails and Cait fight SIN but SIN opened his mouth again to fire another blast of chakra, Moegi was motionless.
"Gentle Fist! Rotation!" Neji landed next to Moegi and wrapped her in his arms before spinning quickly. The chakra blast bounced off Neji's rotation and went to the neighboring building. Cid jumped back up and landed on SIN's face and stabbed him with his stick.
Killer Bee was down below, firing up with his machine gun, when debris from above started to fall towards them, he stared at it, unmoving, and right before he was hit someone caught him by his collar and pulled him to safety.
Sakura dropped him on a steel beam while she landed on the one ahead of it.
"The hell you've been, Pinky!" Killer Bee shouted.
Neji landed next to Itachi and Cid with Moegi, looking up at SIN. "Nothing's working…what are we going to do?" Cid asked Neji.
"We're just going to have to use bigger impacts…I would use my dragon flame jutsu but it appears to be immune to fire" Itachi noted.
"Gentle Fist is going to be useless; its body is too impacted. I can't get deep enough, its chakra network is too protected" Neji's Byakugan was activated, he searched SIN for anything they could use.
"If I was still the eight tails jin' I might've been able to do somethin' but it's too late for that" Killer Bee tried.
"Then what do you suggest?" Moegi shouted. "Kurama…" Itachi suggested, "his chakra is massive enough to make a strong enough attack or at least give us something to aim at"
Nine tails shook his head, "not a good idea, if I use too much chakra I blow this whole place up. I'm one for destruction…" he smirked; Cait pulled his ears "this isn't the time to be joking foxy boy" Nine tails bit at him.
"Let me" Sakura called from above. She didn't wait for them to answer, with one blade in each hand, she jumped at SIN and swung her blade at his teeth but he caught Sakura's sword and clinched his teeth so she couldn't wretch it from him.
Using chakra she kicked his teeth, knocking one out, SIN released her sword and while flying back she slashed at SIN's head but despite the fact that it was making an impact the damage wasn't large enough to take it down. This isn't going to work…I need to use my chakra slasher.
She landed on a steel beam and jumped far back. She put her smaller sword into her larger one and held the sword in front of her, waiting. SIN flew at her with a loud roar and Sakura jumped up and landed on SIN's horns. She slashed at the softer skin behind his head but SIN moved away so that Sakura almost landed in his mouth. She jumped up to prevent from being swallowed while SIN reared up and bit down to catch her. Landing on his chin she jumped away and summoning her chakra into her sword she ripped part of SIN's wings off. It's blood coming out and nearly covering Sakura. SIN couldn't recover and landed on its back down on the ground, but Sakura knew he wasn't done.
SIN roared loudly and decided that it needed to finish this now. SIN focused on flying up high enough to get all of them. He started to collect chakra into its mouth but closed it so it could power up by the time he got high enough to use it.
"It's going to attack!" Sakura landed behind them.
"Oh damn, Sakura are you okay?" Moegi asked worriedly after seeing Sakura covered in blood, "I'm fine but we need to end this now" Sakura watched SIN fly up. "Anything in mind?" Shizune jumped up, finally joining them.
"Actually…I do" Sakura looked at Neji, something new registering in her eyes.
#
Kadaj watched SIN with pride, amazed at himself that he was able to summon such a large and powerful beast. Sasuke didn't seem impressed but he wasn't going to say anything now, he knew what he needed to do.
"This is too fun sir. Any requests for the next act…?" Kadaj stopped when Sasuke had gotten up from the wheelchair and removed the cloak that had been around him.
Sasuke Uchiha was still young looking despite his left eye and head was wrapped up slightly. Sasuke's dark hair was poking out of the tape. He smirked and shook his head at Kadaj.
Kadaj's eyes fell upon the small black box that was held weakly in Sasuke's hand.
"Mother!" Kadaj could feel it.
"A good son would've known…it's strange what Sakura keeps with her in that old church"
"Big Sister had it…!" Sasuke's other hand went into his vest, getting ready to pull something out.
Without a care, Sasuke threw the box over the edge of the building. Kadaj gasped and felt Jenova's call…
help me…
Kadaj turned on Sasuke and collected a ball of chakra into his hand, aiming for Sasuke…
#
SIN was flying higher than the top steel beams could reach.
Sakura took a breath before jumping up. Killer Bee extended his hand and using all his strength he threw Sakura up as high as he could manage. "Alley-oop!"
Sakura hit SIN but she couldn't land on him before he flew up higher. She started to fall.
Cid ran right under Sakura and Sakura landed on his stick.
"Yee-haw!" he shouted as he attempted to throw Sakura higher, Cid didn't have any chakra to help, but it was more than enough.
SIN could no longer be reached by the construction site.
Moegi appeared and using Sakura's boot she used all her strength to pull her up higher. "Keep going!" Moegi shouted.
"Hold on kitty, I'm about to get bigger" Nine tails warned. He jumped under Sakura and summoning an old strength there was a large smoke cloud and Nine tails was now as big as he was back a long time ago. He caught Sakura in his hand and tossed her up.
"There you go!" Cait called.
Sakura braced her hands tightly on the hilt. SIN stopped flying higher and was now focusing on his chakra power.
Itachi was looking down and only jumped when Sakura got close. They reached for each other and Itachi's hand closed over hers. Their eyes met for a moment, and only for a second, there was a strange flicker that made them both forget what was going on but Itachi's eyes became serious and he mustered his strength and tightened his hold on her hand.
"Fly. Sakura" Itachi yelled, throwing Sakura up.
SIN's head reared back and he began to fly down.
Sakura was now at the top and Neji jumped and took Sakura's arm, their eyes landing on each other's.
"Ready?" Sakura asked. She moved to Neji's back as Neji preformed hand signs.
"Ninja Art! Hyuuga style…eight trigrams…one hundred and twenty-eight palms!" Neji called and using his feet he shot Sakura up the farthest using the chakra points in his feet.
"No giving up!" Neji yelled before falling back down.
With Neji's chakra flowing through Sakura she shot directly at SIN, the distance between them getting smaller. SIN shot his chakra blast at Sakura, large enough to destroy the whole area down below.
Using hers and Neji's chakra she went through it, enduring the pain.
Down below Neji landed with all the others, their eyes all on Sakura.
Sakura was past the middle when her world turned to bright white, a familiar feeling going through her.
This is…
"Ready?" Naruto appeared and reached for Sakura, she extended her arm to take his. "Yes" Sakura answered, she had never been so confident.
Naruto smiled and pulled Sakura up.
Color returned to Sakura's vision and she saw her target. She blasted out of the chakra blast and instead of going straight for SIN she jumped over his head and dug her sword into his spinal cord. Using all the chakra she could muster. Ignoring all the pain coming from the stigma, she ripped him in two as she ran up his body.
When she got to his tail she jumped up and left her chakra in his body.
SIN screeched as he fell, his entire body being engulfed in blue chakra.
Everyone watched in awe as SIN's body froze and broke into pieces. The remains hit the ground forming a crater. Neji let go of his held breath and saw Sakura land. She flew to her knees, hoping she didn't break anything. Her entire body crying in pain of the stigma. It wasn't long before Shizune got up to Sakura's level and gave her some of Moegi's Materia.

"Ahhh!" Kadaj cried as he shot at Sasuke with a ball of chakra.
Sasuke didn't even try to dodge as he was hit in the eye, the medical tape coming off. He fell over the edge but not before he pulled out his gun and shot at Kadaj.
Kadaj's attention was now on Jenova's head. He jumped over the edge just before the landing exploded with fire. Kadaj went past Sasuke, his hand reaching for the box.
"Mother!" he called.
Suigetsu and Jugo looked away from Yazoo and Loz to see the explosion above.
"Sir no!" they both cried as they saw Sasuke fall.
Sasuke continued to shoot at Kadaj as he fell. His Sharingan activated and he shot the last bullet at Kadaj. It went through Kadaj's finger and hit the box creating a large gash into, a greenish liquid began to pour out from the hole.
Kadaj stretched his arm and for a moment he felt Sephiroth's connection calling to him. Kadaj caught the case and flipped over to land on his feet.
"Sasuke-kun!" a girl screamed in the distance and Karin jumped to catch Sasuke.
Suigetsu pulled out a long blade and threw it at Karin. "Karin!" he yelled, she took it and sent it into the building. The blade held strong until it stopped, a ways away from the ground, she sighed cheerfully. Sasuke noticed Sakura in the distance, coming closer on her bike.
"I'll let you take care of him now" he said aloud.
Kadaj landed without hurting himself and looked at the box, ignoring the green liquid for now. He heard the sound of a bike and turned, looking past Suigetsu and Jugo, to Sakura who was getting closer.
"Forget those distractions and let's go" Kadaj yelled to his brothers. They all ran for their bikes and got on. Suigetsu and Jugo forgot about them and went to help Sasuke.
Kadaj took the lead while Yazoo and Loz followed.
Without stopping Sakura chased after them…
