"Renji!!" yelled Symone as she runs over to him quickly. As she arrives, she see's quite a disgusting display as the hole in Renji's chest seemed to be gaping and pulsating with each shallow breath. "Hold on, Renji-kun! I'll help you!" yelled Symone as Renji opens his battered eyes, grabbing Symone's hand with an intense speed. His eyes becoming more intense as he states very slowly with a deathly sound in his voice, "No... Inside me... is... exploding... tag. Leave...". "An exploding tag!? But why?... Wait a second, I think I see now. He must of stuck it on his rib bone before ripping through Renji's chest... and that means he kicked him away because if he expects to make any unexpected moves while down, he'd explode. How sickening. How far does this guy think ahead!?".
Back by the area where Mikomi and Genburori were left, a scene of the two are shown staring each other down from each side of the large crater. "You've got a gaping wound across your side, what seems to be a slice through half of your right arm, and I'd assume multiple broken bones. Do you still believe I'd allow you the time to heal yourself using medical ninjutsu!?" yelled and stated Mikomi as he jets forward with lightning speed, kunai in hand. Genburori smirks as he states, "I don't need to even move to take the offensive against such a low-class fool. It'll be easy to make time for my healing technique" as he extends bones automatically from out of his chest and legs towards Mikomi. Mikomi dodges the bones, and quickly turns around, remembering how Renji was deceived as a bone that had to of been extended from the bottom of Genburori's foot shot from out of the ground behind Mikomi by surprise. Mikomi clashes it with the kunai in his hand, using it as a shield as Genburori multiplies the bones he originally shot forward, creating a cage-like barrier of bones around him. Mikomi's eyes narrow sharply as he stares to the side as the bone he had been holding off with his kunai extends towards the top of the cage of bones, keeping him inside quite securely now. "Tih! Damnit!" spoke Mikomi as Genburori forms his hand seal, forming a glow of green chakra as he places it on his wounds, healing each one in a short time. "Seems I was right. You are just a low-class shinobi. You couldn't even stop me as I took my carefree time to heal myself while not even taking the defensive. My, my... how easy you are to manipulate" stated Genburori with a smile on his face, fully healed as his chakra is quickly regained to 100. Mikomi thinks to himself, "You... Damnit!"

Chapter
Twenty-Seven: She Who Remains
"Mikomi-Sensei!!" yelled Symone as she's seen crouched over Renji's battered body, watching on as her Sensei is caught within a trap of Genburori's bones. Renji makes a grunt in pain; blood pouring from out of his mouth as it grabs Symone's attention again. Symone looks down to him as she holds his hand. "I'm gonna get that explosive tag out of your body" stated Symone with an intense, serious expression placed on her face as she stares to Renji's only opened eyes, seeing as the other was apparently swollen shut. "Symone... just leave...leave me to die. Just make sure...Genburori is killed...then my death will not be in vane...and the villagers of Tsunzaku...they can be...at peace" stated an agonizing Renji. Symone looks to him with her expression turning to a more saddened state, but she refuses Renji's words, shaking her head side-to-side. "I don't want anyone else to die! Don't give up, Renji! DON'T LOSE YOUR HOPE! WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT BANGAI WOULD ALLOW THIS IF HE WERE STILL ALIVE!? WOULD HE SIT AND WATCH OR WOULD HE CARE FOR AND TRY HELPING THE PERSON HE CARED FOR!? YOU TELL ME, RENJI! NOW LAY BACK SLOWLY AND GENTLY...I'm GETTING that tag out of your body!" yelled out Symone. Renji just looks on expressionless for a moment, but suddenly, hearing the name of Bangai seemed to bring a smile to his face as he relaxed his body flat on the ground. Symone smirks happily.
Inside the barrage of bones surrounding his body, Mikomi is seen grinding his teeth as he looks around angrily with an intense glare in his eyes as the sun shines it's ultra-violet golden rays deep in to the emerald pupils of green that he seemed to harness as the light gently reflects upon the solid white of the bones around him. Genburori is seen walking forward slowly, absorbing the bones back in to his body on the way towards Mikomi's body. Genburori spits to the side arrogantly as he stops. The remaining bones distance was shortened to a near ten feet as Genburori extracted the bones from outside of his body, stabbing them deep in to the ground. His limp chest and leg seems to inflate again in size as it seems the calcium is being regenerated internally, rebuilding the bones again inside his body just used to capture Mikomi. "This is fucking absurd! How can you do such a thing with your bones!? What kind of Kekkai Genkai is THIS!?" Mikomi yelled out in question as Genburori smirked, stating, "Thank the Kaguya clan for such a jutsu. Their Kekkai Genkai's are a rare, nearly unbeatable breed when one is created with such genes. Besides the Konoha Kekkai Genkai Doujutsu's, the Sharingan, and the Byakugan, many claim this as the ultimate ability mankind had developed. In other words... you're ass is dead". Mikomi clenches his teeth tighter as he replied, "So it's the third strongest Kekkai Genkai, eh? I have proof that you can't say that... because not EVERY Kekkai Genkai can be known, nor do they have to form from only certain breeds or clans. Kekkai Genkai's start out somewhere don't they? Let me...SHOW YOU EXACTLY...THE TRUE POWER OF THE 'HACHIMENREIROU(Perfect Serenity)'! MY KEKKAI GENKAI!!!". Mikomi holds his hands up In the air as he closes his eyes, smiling. Genburori looks on a bit shocked as he thinks, "Hachimenreirou!?". "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" yells out Mikomi as the sunny area they seemed to be fighting around started turning a hue of green all around them. Everywhere that was seen seemed to have a glow of green in the air, as if the air had become visible by the human eye. Mikomi halts his screaming as he speaks with confidence, "THIS...IS THE ULTIMATE JUTSU OF THE HACHIMENREIROU!" as he quickly forms a hand seal. "Shit!!" Genburori yells out as he quickly manipulates the cage of bones with his hands. The bones stay as they are, but extend from the inside, attacking Mikomi as they aim to stab through him from all sides. Mikomi quickly finishes the seal, screaming out as he extends his hands out again, forcing out an aura of chakra from his body that seemed to blow the cage of bones away, sending them flying everywhere as one of them cracks off and quickly slices the right cheek of Genburori's face as he backs up a bit. "HACHIMENREIROU: JOUSHOUKIRYUU SETSUDANKI NO JUTSU!(Perfect Serenity: Ascending Air Current Cutter!" yelled out Mikomi as all the air in the area that was glowing green seemed to glisten in certain area's. It seemed as though there were some solid shards of green chakra formed all around the air currents, somewhat like needles of pure chakra manipulated from the energy of the sun's heat and natural flow of energy drifting in the air itself. Quickly, Mikomi throws his right arm over his left, curling his left one upwards and he then throws it forward, spiking it down and swiping it to the side as the barrage of needle-like chakra in the air seemed to respond to those actions, launching an all-out attack on Genburori as the needles fly with an intense speed directly at him with no escape. "SHIT! THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY TO DODGE AIR! I'M FUCKING STUCK! THERE'S MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF THESE DAMN THINGS EVERYWHERE! DAMN YOU, KUSA NO MIKOMI!" yells out Genburori as the millions and millions of needled chakra in the air seem to shoot over and collide in to Genburori at a highspeed. Genburori's body begins being thrown around everywhere as the speed and power of the chakra had been hitting him incredibly hard with a thundering impact heard as holes were shown filtering his entire body as the blood started being drained from him in a disgusting way as it poured out like a fountain of water as he begins screaming indomitably with a sense of fear in his eyes. The attack keeps continuing with a vicious onslaught as it seems there's going to be no end to the devastation before him.
Over a minute has passed, and the attack still continues on Genburori as Symone is seen watching on from above Renji's body as she notices the air turned green. She throws the exploding tag over to the side as she apparently took it out of Renji's body already as she thinks to herself, "He... He can't survive Mikomi-Sensei's ultimate attack. There's no escape, and at this rate, he'll be unable to recover. If he keeps this up, he'll die before he has a chance to regain his chakra or even use his medical ninjutsu. Plus, Mikomi-Sensei hasn't even used his finishing attack yet". "Looks like it's gonna be over, Renji-san!" states Symone as she then realizes Renji is unconscious now as she smiles. "Rest, Renji-san. You'll get the help you need soon" stated Symone as she continues watching on at the battle before her.
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" yells Genburori as the attack seems to slow down a bit two minutes in to it now. Mikomi is seen extending his hand over to the side still, panting and sweating ridiculously now as he clenches his right eye. "I need to finish this now. I've used up way too much chakra manipulating the air" states Mikomi as stops the attack. Genburori's body falls to the ground, twitching as nothing but a hue of purple blood is shown through the green fog of the air. Mikomi then forms a hand seal quite slowly, seeing as he's quite tired now as he calls out, "Umekomi(Embedding)". The green misty air of chakra then begins spiraling with a huge speed as Mikomi holds his palm out. The chakra then slams in to his palm as it begins forming a ball, clearing the green air out of the area and restoring it to normal as it seemed to be absorbing itself in to one giant compressed ball of energy. After a few seconds, all of the chakra had formed itself in to a ball in Mikomi's palm as he looks to Genburori. Genburori struggles to stand back up as he blinks with a struggle, wiping some of the blood off of his face, seeing Mikomi holding a huge orb of visible chakra in his hand as his eyes then widen with a glimpse of shock. Mikomi smirks as he states, "Genburori... Ha! It's over!" as he starts running forward, screaming, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!". Genburori tried standing, but falls back on the ground. He then tries crawling away, but is too damaged to move any further as he sits himself back up, staring to Mikomi. Mikomi appears with lightning speed in front of Genburori as he thrusts the palm with the glowing orb of green chakra back, then quickly hurling it forward as he yells, "RASENAOI!!!!(Green Spiral!)", impacting Genburori in the face with it as blood spatters behind Mikomi's body, covering him in it as well as the glowing Rasenaoi as it bursts brutally, displaying a huge exploding light show that shook the area for miles. Symone is then seen in the light throwing her body over Renji to protect him as she covers her eyes with her forearm as the light then slowly diminished from sight. Suddenly, from out of the light, Mikomi is seen, missing his trademark trench coat, shown only in his Grass-nin clothing that seemed to be shredded everywhere and soaked in blood. Mikomi swipes his hand in front of his silver hair, and throws it behind his ears, realizing his missing forehead protector as well. Mikomi breathes heavily as he hangs his arms out, showing how tired he apparently was as he looks forward at Genburori's body. Genburori seemed to have been placed halfway in the ground with his head first as his legs are shown sticking out in to the air. Mikomi smiles as he drops himself on to the ground, landing on his back as he extends his arms out in the ground, smiling some more. "This nightmare... it's finally over" states Mikomi to himself as he closes his eyes.
From the distance, Symone is shown getting up off of Renji, running over to Mikomi. As she reaches him, she looks down and smiles. Mikomi opens his eyes, looking back at her and smiling back. "I don't want to ruin your relaxation time, but don't you think we need to get Renji some medical help right away?" asked Symone as Mikomi replies, "Ah, you're right. The poor guy will never believe it when he wakes up, huh?". Symone replies, "Well, knowing him just from the short time we've been with him, he'll probably get mad and say something like 'HEY I WAS SUPPOSED TO KILL HIM YOU BASTARD' and probably sit there wishing he knew how to cook". "Hahaha!" laughed Mikomi as he states, "I agree with ya, Symone! Either way, let's go". Suddenly, a rumble was heard in the ground as Mikomi sits up with shocked eyes. He looks to Genburori's body, seeing that it hasn't moved, yet still remaining curious as to the noise he heard. His face becomes serious as he looks around. Suddenly, the body of Genburori that was sticking out of the ground disappeared in a cloud of smoke! "WHAT!? KAGE BUNSHIN!?" yelled Mikomi as suddenly, Mikomi is pierced through the chest by a bone that seemed to shoot out of the ground. Mikomi is shocked as he spits blood out of his mouth, not even moving by the slightest. Symone jumps back, yelling, "SENSEI!!!" as a hole is burst open from the ground next to Mikomi. Symone looks closely over to the hole, scared to death as she watches Genburori rise from the depths of the Earth. Genburori's hand is seen planted on the ground, lifting himself up as he flips out of the hole, landing on his feet as he cracks his neck, smiling. The bone seemed to be disconnected from Genburori's body as it remained sticking out of the ground through Mikomi's chest. Genburori walks over a few steps next to Mikomi. "Y-you... bastard..." stated Mikomi as he coughed up some blood. "How...!?" he then asks as Genburori replies, "You should have never left an opening after your initial jutsu. It gave me enough time to regain enough of my chakra to make just one Kage Bunshin, and when that was set, I waited for you to attack me with your... what did you call it? - Rasenaoi. Then, as it impacted, and the light blinded the area, I replicated, and sunk myself in to the ground from the huge hole that was made when you impacted with your jutsu. Then, while underground, I just used my medical ninjutsu after automatically regaining my chakra, and that's when you got impaled by my rib bone. I will hand it to you though Mikomi, you were certainly more powerful than my weakling brother, but that's most likely only because you have such an incredible Kekkai Genkai. You thought after blowing apart the confinement of bones you were in made your jutsu superior to my ultimate Kekkai Genkai, but like I said, the Kaguya clan's jutsu's can not be rivaled, most likely not even by the Sharingan or Byakugan, though... you're Kekkai Genkai WOULD be the most powerful one if I inherited with my other Kekkai Genkai's. Imagine it... The ability to restore my chakra automatically by the same air I can use as a weapon instantly. That jutsu you performed... you eventually had to stop it because you used your own chakra to move the solid chakra in the air, and tired yourself out... but with me, I can use it as an automatic and ultimate defense! I wouldn't need to stop! I could use it for hours, or days even, and simply use it and conquer countries by just simply walking through them! IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES! I couldn't be touched! AHAHAHAHA!". "You're... just fucking sick" stated Mikomi as he throws up some blood. Genburori takes his hands and places them on the top part and lower part of Mikomi's back, sliding him off of the bone he had been impaled with. He then grabs him by the forward, lifting him in the air as he laughs. "Say goodbye to your Kekkai Genkai, and say goodbye to YOUR LIFE!" yelled Genburori as his hand started glowing around Mikomi's head. Suddenly, a barrage of kunai are seen hurling at Genburori. Genburori turns his head and notices, throwing Mikomi across the ground, opposite of the direction he had then jumped over to. Genburori looks over to the direction of where the kunai were thrown as Symone is seen standing there in her fighting stance, looking forward with seriousness towards Genburori! "Ah, the girl. You DO have some fight in you after all, eh? I was gonna ignore you and let you live, but if you choose to oppose me, I'm gonna have to rip your damn head off then" stated Genburori as Symone still stands her territory; her right arm extended in a Taijutsu stance with her left leg planted behind her as she states with an intensive anger, "It'll be YOUR head that'll be ripped from off your damn shoulders, fool!". "Hoh!?..." sighs Genburori, smirking as he strokes his messy facial hair.
A brutal display of ninjutsu had been shown with a ferocious onslaught of blood and pain. Both male ninja had been pierced by Genburori's sneaky and deceiving bones, rendering them completely useless as Symne stands guard against the fully empowered Genburori, leader of the Kumogun Temple! By herself, can the female kunoichi stay alive as she takes on the strongest opponent she's ever known of?
