Symone: A Naruto Side-Story - "The Heart Of Rain"
Chapter Twenty-Four: Alarming! The Blast Of A Super Nova! Revealing The Power!

[Well, here's something I haven't done in a while! Writing a note. I've kinda been neglecting the story for a while at the end of Chapter 18 I believe... but this month I've brought it back... thankfully! Now we're at Chapter 24. Fanficnet has been neglected, too. Honestly, no one even reads it anyway... but I guess soon I'll update again in hopes readers will return. Anyway, this is another intense chapter just like that of the past. Keep an eye out for Nova-teichou...or...erm...well, we'll just call him Nova now perhaps. Anyway... enjoy! PS: Toni, you brought me back to the joy of writing... a second time! Thank you... and enjoy.

A dramatic turning point has taken place as the avenger gets his opportunity to free his burdened soul. The burning desire of shinobi shall be witnessed, and the presence within all of Nova's being will be revealed and released. A plagued mind, but will death allow him his ability to be set free? The ring of his beloved had been holding all the purity of solidity in the prospect of love, and love will be the main power behind a majestic and enigmatic showdown!

Within the Kumogun Temple, Nova is seen staring towards the chair that harbored the detestable Genburori. As Genburori sensed his presence, he had turned his head sighing, "Hmm...?" in curiosity. Nova smirks with hate burning in his soul as he watches Genburori raise to his feet as the clicking of his footwear was heard. Genburori turns his head, seeing Nova. Genburori gently and quickly twitches his eyes down in question. "Have you completed your mission, Nova?" asked Genburori as he walked down the stairs, reaching the bottom as Nova remained silent. "Is there something wrong?" asked Genburori as he stares off with Nova. Nova remains silent still as the two powerful shinobi just stare each other down. Suddenly, a rushing of wind was felt as it was Nova hurling a hidden shuriken he had slipped between his palm beforehand as Genburori's eyes widened, slipping to the side to dodge as he looks over to Nova with a shocked anger. "You fool! So you want it to be this way, huh? I would of let you live your life under me, but if you chose this as your action, I'm gonna be forced to kill you. Do you understand?" stated and asked Genburori towards Nova as Nova had just smiled in deceit as he replied, "...no, I don't!" as he formed the release seal with his hands. Genburori quickly jumps back, readying his defense, unknown as to Nova's action as Nova screamed, "Kai!(Release!)". "Kai...? A release seal?" thought Genburori as his eyes widened enormously, screaming, "Damn!" as he turned his head, looking at the shuriken that passed him as he noticed an explosive tag slapped to the shuriken as it blows in an intense bang that shook the building, cracking the floor and the walls nearby as smoke indugled the body of Genburori as he had emanated a scream of intense agony. Quickly, Nova then performs an odd handseal, mixing the Inu(Dog) and the Tora(Tiger), waving his palm in a Kaiten(Rotation) with intense speed as he calls out, "Fuujin Jutsu: Kaiten Doton Nohara No Tonsei!(Sealing Technique: Fire Earth Field From The World Of Seclusion!) as a violet chakra starts spinning from out of his Kaiten, letting out a scream as the chakra sticks to the walls, creating a glowing cage from wall-to-wall, reaching the ceiling as it wraps around the entire large room, creating a seal around the perimeters, disallowing any interruptions as he stops his Kaiten, grabbing dozens of tags with sealing characters inked on them with blood from out of his large belt as he starts flinging them throughout the room for extra protection with much speed as they stick to the walls and ceiling. Nova steadies himself and looks forward towards the slow diminishing smoke of the exploding tag that was attached to the shuriken, watching for his foe.

Within the woodlands, Symone, Renji and Mikomi feel a slight rattling of the ground, unknown as to what it was as they look down together, hearing a very light sound of an explosion from the distance. "What the hell was that?!" asked Mikomi out loud, alerted by the situation as Renji replies, "I know what it is. I bet that asshole Nova decided to take things in his own hands. Let's go!" as Mikomi replied back, "Alright! Come on, Symone!", running off towards the explosion in a hurry.

Outside of the Kumogun Temple, the ninja standing guard ran to the doors of the temple, trying to rush in, but as a good few of them had reached it, they all got shocked, bursting in to flames as they're heard screaming, rolling on the ground as the other ninja behind them back up, watching on as one of the unharmed ninja's had yelled, "We can't get in! It's sealed with something! What the hell is going on?!" as another looked in to the scene inside, replying in question as he notices someone. "...Nova-teichou!?" he slowly asked himself as another nearby ninja watches the burning ninja die off as he yells out, "GENBURORI-SAMA!?" noticing the smoke inside as they realized Nova had something to do with it since he was the only one standing as everyone watches on defenseless.

Nova watches the smoke as he stands inside the temple, awaiting to see the body of Genburori. As the smoke clears, Nova had seen a bloody Genburori standing on his feet as Nova expresses the sight with intense shock. "What!? No...!" yelled Nova as Genburori smiled, walking forward a bit. "You're being careless..." stated Genburori as his body blows apart in to a cloud of whirling smoke as Nova's eyes widen even more-so as suddenly, Nova feels something behind him as he tries to turn, but quickly, Genburori was seen in perfect health as he punched Nova in the back of the spine, lifting him up with his fist by the center of his back as he flings his body up, kneeing it devastatingly hard in the side as he rolls Nova over to the ground. Nova is seen with blood lightly dripping from the sides of his mouth as he blinks in constant pain. Genburori smirks as he forms a glow of chakra around his fist. Genburori then slams it in to Nova's chest as he let out a disgusting and heart-breaking scream... but somehow, Nova's body was the one to transform in to a whirling mist of smoke this time. Genburori's eyes widen as he senses a strong figure from behind, so he decides to side-step, swinging his body from below as he planted his hand on the marbled floor tiles, rotating around as Nova is seen coming at him with a punch as he had been stopped by the maneuverability of his foe. Genburori then swings his body forward towards Nova, but Nova had caught his foot, spinning it as he had pushed Genburori aside. Nova then flipped sideways over his body as he yelled out, "Shishou Hasu!(Master Lotus!)" as he planted his right foot first to the chest of Genburori, uppercutting with his left foot into his chin, and then flipped 360 degrees in to a side-kick that blew Genburori across the other side of the room with a stream of blood flowing from out of his mouth as this would seem to be a similar attack used in the past by Toro. Nova back flips back on to his feet as he looks to Genburori. Genburori gets up, wiping the blood off of his mouth with his wrist as he states, "I never been attacked by the same jutsu twice in my life. Even though it wasn't by the same person, I should of known you'd be able to teach yourself and use something like that. I'll tell you right now... this was my mistake, and it'll be the last mistake. I will not hold back any longer". "Hold back? Spare me... but I will give you that you had made a mistake... and that was ruining my life... because now... now you pay for it!" states Nova as he angerly raises his voice. Genburori laughs a little as he states, "You truly never had realized how powerful I can be after all these years, did you? Did you think anything you seen me do was the full extent of my ability? If so, you're slower than I thought. Don't get cocky. I knew you were planning to kill me, but I honestly never thought you'd attempt it, because I didn't believe you had the guts. Unfortunately for you... you did, and I amend that, and I will make sure when I bring you to your death, you will be respected and given a prayer as you go meet Katrice in Hell!" stated and declared Genburori as Nova had angerly replied, grinding his teeth, "I SAID... NEVER... MENTION... HER NAME!!!" as his eyes had quickly shot from a dark color to that odd turqoise again as he began flowing with turqoise chakra, charging at Genburori as his hair had turned to a slightly lightened off-green. Genburori then states uncaringly to the oncoming Nova, "So you're gonna try bringing that out, huh? Well, I'll bring THIS out then!", as suddenly, there was a rattling in his shoulder as if something was trying to petrude from it, as slowly, his skin started to split apart by the shoulder as what seemed to be a bone had risen from it half way. Genburori pulls it out, grasping it and holding it in position as if it were a sword as his skin reseals itself. As Nova approaches, he screams out in rage as he holds his hand back, ready for attack as his finger nails began to grow a dark, swampy color as they became sharp like razor blades as he swings down hard on Genburori, but Genburori had swung his sword of bone forward as Nova had caught it in his hand. He then begins throwing scratching open fisted punches at Genburori as he keeps blocking with his bones, slapping him away as he's seen being pushed back by the pure power of Nova. Genburori's eyes widen, as suddenly, he calls out, "Tsubaki No Mai!(Dance of the Camellia Flower!)", sending a massive flurry of rapidly untraceable stabs with his sword of bone, slashing and ripping at the chest, legs, and face of Nova as he screams out viciously, being thrown back in a spraying of his own blood as it whirls around with intense speed, sliding on the ground, then rolling as he stops himself just before the main door of the temple, avoiding the seal he had placed on the room. Genburori smirks as he spins the sword of bone around his hand, catching it as he states, "Thank Kaguya Senbon of the Kaguya clan for this defense and attack of bone. I hope you enjoyed it" as a yell from the ninja's outside was heard as they watch on, "Yeah! Genburori-sama! Show him! Show him what it means to betray us!". Nova staggers to his feet, dripping an immense amount of blood from his body as he holds one eye closed as it had apparently been damaged by the attack. "What's the matter? Lost your drive?" asked Genburori with an excess of arrogance. "Look at you... you're pitiful. What if Katrice saw you like this? You think she'd want anything to do with a weakened bastard... especially one she knows could never protect her?" Genburori asked and stated with even more aggressive arrogance as Nova clenches his teeth again tightly with the most vicious look we've ever seen in him by far as he begins to let out what seems to be a lightened growl that seemed deeper than his ordinary vocal chords could allow as he screams, "I AM TELLING YOU NOW... DO NOT... TEMPT ME!!!". "Tempt you? Why? Are you gonna unleash 'it' on me, like you can even manage it? What if Katrice knew this little secret about you, and saw how disgusting you physically can be? You know what, My dear friend?... I'm glad I killed that ugly wench of yours because then I wouldn't understand the joy of watching a poor innocent woman crawl in to a corner, hugging her knee's as she didn't even have the energy to speak, though I must admit that was mostly from our not feeding her as we held her in confinement in a dark room. Watching and hearing her bones crack as I stomped down on her precious little body, killing her while pummeling her head first in to the concrete ground. Her tears of blood soaking my boots as she lets out small sighs. The poor woman couldn't even scream her pain out. She held it all the way in 'til she met her death. Man, was it fun... AND YOU'RE GONNA BE NEXT!!" yelled Genburori with an immense intensity grazing his face as Nova stared down to the ground, silent. Nova lifted up his left hand, looking at his ring finger as we saw the ring he gave Katrice placed on it. Nova slowly and silently takes it off as he kisses it, placing it in his pocket as he thought to himself, "This is something... I promised myself you shouldn't see". Suddenly, Nova's eyes shot open wide as his hair started blowing upwards as if a massive breeze entered the room. Then, without hesitation, Nova began screaming infuriously with anger from the bottom of his gut boiling from out of his mouth. "HAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" screams Nova as the breeze picks up, turning in to vicious winds that had knocked Genburori back against the wall he was closest to. Genburori looks on curiosly, shocked by the intensity of the chakra he feels. "What the hell IS THIS?! IS HE ACTUALLY...?!" hesitantly spoke Genburori as he watches on with a serious expression on his face while the ninja's watching on from the outside begin to get blown back as well, screaming, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?". "WHAT'S GOING ON!? WHAT'S NOVA DOING!?" yelled another ninja as a ninja to his left screamed, "WOW! WHAT IS THAT!? LOOK AT IT!... IS THAT... IS THAT... NOVA-TEICHOU!?". "NO WAY!" yelled the ninja next to him as Genburori is seen looking over to Nova in shock as he thinks to himself, "He... did it!?" as debree from the once again rattling building is seen falling from the cracked walls and chipped ceiling. Genburori stares over to Nova... and to his surprise, witnesses the revival of a Bijuu - The Jinchuuriki Nova as he's seen in the full form of the Sanbi(3-tails, aquatic-like turtle fish demon of the sea), just barely fitting in the massive room as he was FAR larger than any other living creature ever seen! Genburori holds his sword of bones in a defensive stance as he yells out, "YOU FOOL! YOU UNLEASHED AND LET OUT THE SANBI BIJUU!!!". The Sanbi had just growled out without words, seeming as if it couldn't speak, just being a monstrous beast without a mentality as it quickly swipes one of it's tremendously sized tails directly at Genburori as Genburori's eyes remain openly shocked, as he realized he had no where to run as he holds up the sword of bones, releasing another from his opposite shoulder, and then another from his palm as he molds the calcium in to each sword, reshaping it in to an ultimately destructive lance-like object of bone as he wields it forward in defense, but within about two seconds of struggle, Genburori gets totally overpowered, and the lance of bones breaks in many shards around him as he's flattened terribly by the tail of the Sanbi Bijuu!!

All along, Nova had been harboring the power of one of the nine Bijuu of the Earth, and with only slight glimpses of it seen in his past, he has now actually released and become the Bijuu himself! He seems to have lost control though, and the power is quite devastatingly unreal! How will this matter end!? Sanbi VS Genburori! The battle will ensue!
