"The Heart Of Rain" - Symone's NARUTO Side-Story SPECIAL!


[Chapter Thirty
"Yet Again, That Awakened Monster!"

LAST TIME...

"Is this... it... for me? I tried my hardest... how can I let everyone down? ...but, my body... it's in so much pain... and I'm so...so tired" thought Symone as she's seen being held still by Genburori as he continues absorbing Symone's Kekkai Genkai... but suddenly, he's interrupted as a swarm of sand grabs Genburori around the arm, crushing it as he drops Symone on the ground.

"What the hell is this!?" thought Genburori in an exclamatory manner as he tries waving the sand off of his body as it slowly engulfs him whole except for his head as he turns his eyes, looking around at what this possibly could be, noticing from quite a distance, Renji had his arm extended as he remained laying on the ground badly injured.

"You're still ALIVE!? YOU BASTARD!" yelled Genburori as the sand crushes him tightly, hurting him as he screams in pain as suddenly, waves of air were visible to the human eye, as if shards of chakra were there, being launched in to the sand, attacking Genburori.

Genburori turns his eyes the other way, immediately knowing that it had to be none other than Kusa No Mikomi, as his thoughts were correct, seeing him laying on the ground, also extending his arm out, attacking using his Kekkai Genkai.

"YOU BASTARDS ARE STILL CAPABLE TO DEFEND THIS CHILD!? DAMNIT!!!" yelled Genburori in a display of complete rage.

"Hmmm... I might as well... try something... shouldn't I?" thought Shouten as he's seen standing up slowly with a terrible pain in his chest and arm as he forms a seal, slowly, but surely as he seemed influenced by Mikomi and Renji as he calls out "Mizudoton: Dakuryuu No Jutsu!(Water Earth Element: Mud Stream Technique!)" as Shouten spits out a decent amount of water, combining it with the ground and rubble, creating a solid form of mud as it begins to avalanche towards Genburori, striking him hard, devouring his entire body just nearly missing Symone as she remained on the ground, injured.

—

Genburori is seen being attacked from each side by Renji, Mikomi and Shouten as he starts screaming in pain and anger, just blatantly yelling as sand begins squeezing him hard, as well as feeling the stings of Mikomi's Kekkai Genkai while Shouten then covers his entire body with a heavy avalanche of mud, hiding him in the storm of devastating attacks.

The mud summoned through the Jutsu of Shouten mixed with the sand, drying in the sun as it seemed like a boulder of tiles were squeezing his whole entity.

Mikomi continued his attack, squinting his eyes in pain as the shards of chakra within the air current pierced like glowing needles through the solid combination of sand and mud and straight in to Genburori's body.

Decrepit screams were heard from Genburori as the pin-like shards of chakra apparently burrowed deep in to his body, unknown where it hit as it was unseen through the mass mixture of solid sand and mud, though blood was apparently shown leaking through it.

Renji is seen struggling to stay awake as he can barely hold his hand out to control the sand, and unfortunately, his attack had stopped.

The pressure of the sand that was mixed in the mud had then dwindled as Genburori was able to move, slightly, but manageably.

The stinging shards of chakra brought on by Mikomi's Kekkai Genkai seemed to gently slow down as Mikomi is seen fading away to an unconscious state just as Renji had.

"Symone! You HAVE to finish him when he's released! We're not gonna be able to hold him any more, and you can't allow him to heal!" yelled Mikomi in his last words before dropping his arm to the ground, passing out.

Symone stands up, preparing herself as she discards a kunai, taking out some explosive notes she had stored away, adding them with thread through the ring-loop, adding just one more, making it eleven explosive notes in total as she stands firmly by Genburori with the kunai in place firmly in her hand.

Shouten seems to be continuing his attack until a quick, sharp pain pierces through his body as he spits up a large amount of blood, falling to his knee as his hand is planted on the ground.

"Girl! Get ready! Kill Genburori!" yelled Shouten as the mud had dissipated from off of Genburori's body.

Genburori falls to the ground, trying to quickly burrow beneath the ground as he had extended his wrist bones in both hands out, scraping through the gravel, beginning to get underneath it.

Symone stands still for a moment, hesitating as she thinks to herself, "But... if I kill him, how will I find out about Souitai? Damn it! What am I supposed to do!?".

"Agh! God damn girl!" yelled out Shouten, displeased at the hesitation of Symone.

Genburori begins nearing the bottom if the crater he had been creating as Symone watches on, deciding to attack as she takes a step forward, but quickly, a shadow breezes by her, ripping the kunai right from her hand as she had not a single clue what had happened as she suddenly hears Genburori scream in pain.

Curiously, Symone looks on at Genburori's yell as she notices Shouten had been the one who stole the kunai, and had sharply stabbed Genburori in his back with it, holding the kunai firmly inside him as he wrapped his free arm around the body of Genburori, holding him tightly, refusing to allow him to burrow any further in the ground for an escape.

"Fucking kid. I gotta do everything, don't I?" spoke Shouten as the tags begin to smolder, readying to explode.

"Shouten-san! Get away! You're gonna get caught in the blast!" yelled out Symone as Shouten just smiles, turning his head to the side as he spoke in a calm, reassuring manner which had been very unusual for his character, "Just don't say bad people can't do good things... Take your friends, and go home" as suddenly, the smoldering flame reaches it's breaking point, exploding with such a tremendous impact, the entire area started shaking intently, creating almost like a mushroom-shape cloud in the air as Genburori is heard screaming, "YOU WON'T KEEP ME DOWN. I WILL NOT DIE. I WILL NEVER DIE!!".

Symone quickly forms her Tate Iji No Jutsu as she screams out with aggression as the sound of the explosion covers his voice from being heard.

Renji and Mikomi's unconscious bodies were blown away so far from the shockwave of the blast that they couldn't be seen as Symone struggled with all her might just to hold the Tate Iji, though it was a difficult feat while having the mass debree and carnage of rock and boulders being blown at her at such a sharp speed.

About fourty seconds had passed as the explosion finally becomes faint, though a cloud of smoke had covered the area for nearly two-hundred yards. Symone lets down her Tate Iji, coughing up a bit as she inhaled the dirt and dust in the air, holding her arm over her face as she looks towards the crater, watching as the area becomes somewhat more clear.

Symone looks on as she can finally see the area the explosion was set off at as she notices a huge fifty-foot or so hole in the Earth.

The grassy area that held a beautiful temple ruled by evil had now just entirely formed in to a huge pit of boulders and rock with various craters across the landscape as most of the trees in the area had been snapped in pieces.

The color green that harbored the landscape had been reformatted in to a vast color of brown, going from grass to dirt.

"Sh-...Shouten-san? SHOUTEN!" hesitantly spoke, then yelled Symone as her eyes were widened in disbelief as she held her battered, injured and bloody arm as her tight, firm body was covered from head to toe in dirt.

"No... he sacrificed himself... for me? Shouten did that?" spoke Symone to herself as tears run gently down her face, crossing over the bridge of her nose and dripping down to the ground as it splatters on the battered Earth around her.

Suddenly, an alarming thought crossed Symone's mind, "OH NO! RENJI AND MIKOMI-SENSEI! WHERE'D THEY GO!?" as she ran forward, looking around a little, as she saw from a distance her Sensei's body laying flat on the ground.

Symone runs towards Mikomi with such a speed, her beautiful body appeared to streak with an after-image as she quickly appeared before him, lifting him up over her shoulder as she thought, "Now... To find Renji" as she ran much slower, being careful with her Sensei's injured body, running quite a distance, looking for Renji, noticing him laying within a crater not too far from where the explosion was as she placed Mikomi in it gently, laying him against Renji as she stands up, looking around the area.

"Shouten... Thank you. Also... I'm... sorry... it was my fault for hesitating, and you had to end this fight, and I realized it needed to be finished, but too late was when I was aware. I was gonna go on just knowing Souitai was out there somewhere... alive, and leave it at that for the sake of everyone Genburori would of tortured in the future if we let him go. There would always be an opportunity to get information to find my brother... and I'm sorry you had to do this... and it's all my fault and I shall never forgive myself, and never forget you" gently spoke Symone to herself as she planted her knees on the ground, holding her hands over her eyes as she cries hysterically, acting as she always seems to around death, seeing it to be such a senseless thing, having her wishful thinking of peace and love.

Symone looks up to the sky, noticing that night was setting in soon as the moon had already appeared alongside the sunny rays of light.

Symone wipes her tears, standing up as she sniffles a bit, taking out a scroll that was placed in her holster as she clips off the tag holding it in one piece.

She then walks to the crater, wrapping Renji and Mikomi's arms around her as she folds out the scroll, showing a Summoning Seal imprinted on it with ink.

"Time to get out of here..." spoke Symone as she bit her thumb, wiping her blood across the scroll with one quick motion as she laid it upon the ground, unable to hold it due to her injured arm.

Symone thrusts her palm down on the scroll as she began yelling, "Kuchiyose No Ju-!(Summoning Techni-!)" as she was interrupted by a sharp pain, widening her eyes as she is whipped across the ground, smashing through bits of the crater as blood swayed in the air, revealing a cut on the side of her cheek, landing roughly on the ground as her body had stopped by the force of a large boulder as she had slammed into it with a verocitic impact as it seemed she had just enough time to realize this mysterious attack to grab hold of the scroll in her hand before she had been flung quite a distance, holding it firmly now as she stumbles back on her feet, wiping her arm across her cheek as she wiped the blood from off of her face.

"Keh! What the hell was that!?" as Symone looked towards her past position in the crater as she doesn't see a thing.

Her eyes wander across the landscape, having a sickening feeling in her stomach that it might just be that Genburori was still alive, but that remained to be verified.

Suddenly, a breesze passes Symone as her hand is slapped in the air.

The scroll was launched up high as an image too quick to see was shown jumping passed the scroll, grabbing it in their hands.

Symone stumbles back a bit as she looks forward, seeing the body of none other than a fully healed Genburori.

"Are you... KIDDING ME!?" thought Symone, more pissed than shocked, as she had almost expected this to come, though she secretly didn't want to believe it, though shock still emanated from her glistening, beautiful eyes.

"You won't be using this scroll to leave just yet, kid... or better yet, you won't be using it to leave EVER" stated Genburori as he smirks, ripping the scroll in pieces and throwing it forward, spraying it in the brisk wind like confetti.

"So... now that the pest is gone, and those other two ignorant monkeys are out of it, we can get back to what I want... your Jutsu's!" stated Genburori as Symone looks down to the ground with an angry, fearless expression on her face as she replied, "DO NOT... EVER CALL MY FRIENDS SUCH THINGS! I'LL KILL YOU!!".

"You can't kill me, child. Just face it. Let me end your misery right here and now. When you're dead, you'd have no need to worry about the shitty people of this world any more!" stated Genburori as Symone replied, "I told you... to not... EVER... SAY SUCH THINGS!!!", yelling in a ferocious manner as she looked to Genburori with such a piercing glare, though this glare seemed quite unusual for Symone as it seemed her eyes had changed a gentle hue of purple, glowing vibrantly.

"Ha! For someone who cares so much about their friends and the people in the world being tortured, you didn't seem to hesitate to torture hundreds of my men back in Tsunzaku, HUH!!??" yelled out Genburori as Symone's purple glare remained, though her eyes seemed a bit shocked as she then quickly grinds her teeth.

Genburori notices Symone's expression as he states in question, smiling, "What's the matter? Struck a nerve? Well, you can't deny how much of a hypocrite you are, child. You'll kill people by individually judging them and deciding on your own wether their lives are worth living or not, like you were some kind of God. How pathetic you are" as Symone nudges her head upwards, staring forward at Genburori as her purple eyes show a frightening display of anger as her teeth are shown slowly protruding from her mouth, emulating what seemed to be fangs as an odd change seemed to be harboring the soul of Symome as she just stood there, quietly, becoming more and more enraged.

"Yes! That's right! Get angry! Show me what you're gonna do now! Come! Come after me! Come after me so I can kill you... and so I can kill your friends, and reign over Tsunzaku No Sato!" yelled Genburori, intimidating Symone as she stood there, extending her one useable arm and screaming ferociously with a sickening echo throughout the area as she then quickly charged at Genburori at such a speed, she passed Genburori, appearing behind him as Genburori didn't even notice as his eyes were shocked, feeling the wind of Symone's movements.

"SHIT!" yelled Genburori, turning his head as Symone threw a punch with her useable arm.

Genburori quickly dodges though, leaning to the side, being gently sliced in the face as blood spewed from his face as he kneels down, flipping his body as he extended his right foot out, kicking Symone in the stomach and throwing her down on to the ground so hard, the ground slightly crumbled by the impact as Symone's angressive expression remained, though it was diluted with the pain.

Genburori puts his foot on Symone's chest, holding her down as he stomped on it just once, laughing as he stated, "You're worthless. You're life is worthless. My time torturing you is worthless, and your dear friends... Well... Are even more worthless!"

Symone's eyes forge a gleam of pure anger and aggression, widening them as the purple hue became more dominant, almost turning a light pink as a small amount of visible pink chakra seemed to emanate from her body.

Genburori looks down at Symone with a curious expression as he thinks, "This girl... I've beat her pretty good, but her chakra is actually increasing?".

Hesitantly, Symone spoke with an enraged aggression, "You can call me worthless, and at one time I would of believed you... but to call the people I cherish worthless... I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!" as she screamed out in a symbiotic-like rage as the chakra leaked from every pore of her body as Genburori gets pushed back by it, holding his arm over his face as yells out, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!? COULD IT REALLY BE...!?".

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" screamed the petite kunoichi with a fierce force that started ripping up fragments of the landscape, forcing Genburori back more as the pink chakra emanating from her body had swarmed out of her, leaking indiscriminately as the force started cutting the skin of Genburori.

Symone stands up as a whirling emanation of pink chakra circled her body, rising high in the air.

Her appearance started changing.

Her eyes had become sharper and tight as the pupils narrowed in the center as her hair was waving upwards a bit due to the breeze of the chakra's energy force, changing it's color from a purple-like blue to a stunningly bright pink as her clothes started to shred in to pieces by her legs and stomach, being blanketted by the the chakra as it began hugging around her body completely.

"GEH-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" continued screaming Symone in a drastic change of events as Genburori watches on, yelling, "YOU CUNT! I'LL KILL YOU! TELL SHOUTEN I SAID 'HI', YOU STUPID WORTHLESS BITCH!" as he charges at Symone, but Genburori seemed to add fuel to the fire, triggering her to just get more and more powerful to the point where her chakra was the strongest Genburori himself has ever seen!

Symone's eyes glisten a pure white, vibrantly emanating light from them as she grinds her teeth with her lips somewhat opened, exposing large fangs.

Genburori approached her now as he fired his Hessendan Jutsu at her, but the bones dematerialized before it even got close to Symone!

Genburori throws a punch at Symone, but Symone quickly grabbed it, barely moving an inch as her head was shown staring down to the ground, but what was unusual is that Symone used her injured arm to grab the attack as Genburori looked at it, realizing her injuries were healed somehow!

Symone then pulls Genburori in towards her, punching him in the throat so hard that he was forced back, grinding across the rubble endlessly as blood poured from his mouth, scraping his entire body, shredding his skin viciously in a grotesque display of gore as the blood leaked everywhere on the ground, leaving a large trail of it behind.

Genburori is seen layed out on the ground as he quickly realized he was choking.

Symone's punch seemed to have knocked his collar bone upwards, breaking it as the adam's apple was swollen.

Genburori, gasping for air, creates a green chakra around his right hand, attempting to heal himself, as he used the force of the chakra from his hand to push out the collar bone and adam's apple, relieving the swelling with the chakra as he had regenerated the pieces of his collar bone back in to one piece.

"SHE IS... SHE'S DEFINITELY A JINCHUURIKI!" exclamated Genburori as he stood himself up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed Symone in one final burst as light started emanating for quite a distance, shooting her chakra every which way as she grew two tails of chakra behind her and what seemed to be pointed ears raising above her head, crossing her arms over each other, displaying her elongated nails that were like claws.

"SHE IS! HOW DID THIS CHILD BECOME A JINCHUURIKI!? WAIT A SECOND... TWO-TAILS!? COULD SHE BE... THE NEKO NO NIBI(Two-Tail Cat) BIJUU!? TEH! LIKE FIGHTING ONE JINCHUURIKI TODAY WASN'T ENOUGH, although... The Nibi shouldn't be as powerful as the Kame No Sanbi!(Three-Tail Tortoise)" thought Genburori in a shocking manner.

"Let's see how much weaker you are compared to the Sanbi, you monster child!" yelled Genburori as he charged at her with lightning speed, appearing behind her, throwing a punch, but Symone remained without even turning her body, whipping his fist with one of her tails, avoiding the attack as she used her second tail to thwap Genburori in the jaw downwards, hurling him in to the ground so hard, it created the most massive hole as Genburori had been held inside it as Symone gives out a huge, monstrous roar.

----

Chapter 31: "Nova's Prediction"

Symone's deranged posture looks up towards the sky, growling ferociously as she curls her arms outwards, tightening her fists, expelling a huge amount of pink chakra around the entire area, engulfing it.

Genburori shakes the attack off, standing up as he began climbing his way back up, getting out of the hole created by Symone as he stands behind the screaming kunoichi that has been empowered by the Bijuu within her, the Neko No Nibi, which seemed to have been the reason for the mysterious power unleashed back in Tsunzaku, though this time, it seemed the power had far surpassed that time back then, revealing her cat-like appearance and pink chakra.

Symone turns her head with her glowing eyes that seemed to be filled with nothing but the light of white as it seemed she had grown an intent to kill, looking at Genburori with blood lust.

"Damn you, Nova. You somehow knew about this child. Is that why you made the decision to pick this time to oppose me when you did? Psh! Very well, I'm ending this now!" thought Genburori as he ran in front of Symone, holding only his pointer and middle finger up in his right hand as his left hand began glowing.

Genburori's eyes become tainted with a crimson color as he called out, "Daraku Dageki!(Degradation Blow!)", announcing a Jutsu once before shown as a dangerous weapon to be feared as Genburori thrusts his left palm forward at Symone, making impact with her chest as Symone just emotionlessly looked down at Genburori's hand.

Genburori's hand was seen admitting chakra in to Symone for a quick second before releasing, but he realized... the chakra was being dematerialized before entering her body.

Genburori jumps back about twenty feet as he thinks to himself, "There's that much difference in our power!? She didn't even move, and my Daraku Dageki had absolutely no effect! There's no way this child can be this powerful!".

Symone lets out a ferocious growl yet again as she races forward towards Genburori, grabbing him by the tied belt around his waste, dragging him in towards her body, punching him terribly hard, disallowing him to be thrown as Symone pulls him back in, sending a flurry of constant punches in to Genburori's face as blood sprays everywhere, then throwing him in the air as she raises her palm in the air, forming an extrordinarily massive ball of energy that ranged in an estimate of one-hundred feet or so, firing it up in the air with a devestating force as Genburori comes falling down.

"FUCK!!!!" yelled Genburori as he's attacked by the full force of the enormous blast, disappearing in it as the pieces of energy fall down to the ground like molting lava, burning through the solid ground, rumbling the ground drastically as a pink orb of light is sprayed in the sky at such a distance, the blue of it had vanished from eye sight as the glow envelopped the world below, turning everything pink for a few moments, slowly diminishing with no sight of Genburori.

Symone let's out a tremendous growl, cracking the ground beneath her a bit by the force of her chakra that seemed endless.

Genburori is then seen battered on the ground far from Symone's sight by nearly a mile as all of the trees and grass for about that far had been blown to falling ash that came down from the sky above.

Symone stops her growling as she felt a living presence from the distance, sniffing around as if she was able to smell Genburori's scent still intact as she runs forward using her arms and legs, just as a cat would towards Genburori.

Quickly, within just a mere few seconds, she had appeared before Genburori, growling.

Genburori stands up slowly, bleeding profusely even more-so than before as his arms are barely useable, creating green chakra around his hands, healing himself up as he had severe wounds on his body, such as the deep gash through his side, and holes through his chest, as he appeared shirtless with his pants ripped apart, looking as if he was wearing shorts.

Symone just watches on curiously, tilting her head to the side as if she was trying to understand what he was doing to himself as Symone's expression has never looked more calm as she just silently watches on, exhaling each breath with a gentle growl from her throat.

"She's... watching me, like she is analyzing what I'm doing. She hasn't been this quiet since before she started transforming in to the Nibi. This bitch... She's somehow able to keep her human form for the most part, and yet... she has WAY more power than Nova's Sanbi... and she seems to be able to comprehend a few things still, though not fully coherant. What's with this Jinchuuriki? It's... unreal" thought Genburori as he just cautiously healed himself to perfection.

Genburori then runs forward at Symone, yelling out, "Kenjutsu no Tai!(Malice Of Heavenly Art!)" as his hands glow gently with blue chakra, side-stepping around Symone as he palm thrusts her deep in the chest, showing off an unseen Taijutsu style that seemed to involve forcing chakra from out of his body with each attack, but it seemed Symone only got pushed back a few inches, but Genburori just continued the attack on the deranged child covered in a cloud of pink, scraping his right foot along the ground, twisting himself towards the back of Symone, thrusting with his palm again at such a high speed with an intense impact, slightly pushing Symone forward, barely keeping up with Genburori's speed as she growls ferociously, turning around with a piercing glow yet again emanating fearlessly with anger from her eyes of insanity.

Genburori keeps the attack going, breezing around Symone with such a speed, he can barely be seen, knocking Symone back and forth continuously as she tries turning her head repeatidly, trying to keep up as she begins growling again, but this time her growl was filled with such an intense anger, it blew chakra all around her body, forcing Genburori to stop his attack as he was thrown away a few hundred feet, scraping against the rough ground as Symone saw him, following as Genburori's body had stopped somehow, as it seemed Symone had grabbed Genburori by his flesh, piercing through his back with her sharp claws, holding on to his ribcage as Genburori threw up blood, almost fainting, but was just barely able to stay awake, too injured to even let out a scream.

Symone then takes her one free arm, and grabs Genburori's right arm, pulling.

"What... are... you... doing!?" exclamated a hesitantly pained Genburori as Symone let out one of those growls yet again, ripping the arm off of Genburori's body, throwing it to the side as blood shot out like a fountain as threads of red flesh were hanging limberly down to his side as he tightened his eyes, letting out as much of a scream as he could, but could barely breath in the first place due to Symone's arm inside him, holding him by the ribs.

Symone then throws the bloody and battered Kumogun leader on the ground as she plants her foot on Genburori's back, grabbing on to his one remaining arm, twisting it back, cracking it in to pieces as Genburori starts kicking the ground from on his stomach as he layed there helplessly.

Symone then started to bite the arm by the shoulder, gnawing off pieces of flesh until reaching the bone as she had then grabbed on to the bone with her claws, snapping it in half, then making a sawing motion with Genburori's arm, trying to rip off the last few threads of flesh holding his arm intact as she quickly succeeds in ripping it from off of his body, leaving Genburori armless as Genburori layed in a massive puddle of his own blood.

Genburori's blood was seen dripping down Symone's face from her soft lips as she throws Genburori's other arm to the side as she then decides to repeatedly start slashing and punching him in the back with rage.

"Nova... it seems... you really did know... this girl... that... she could kill me. I was careless... and now, it seems you predicted correctly. This child... she watched me heal myself, and she was... she was still able to think... slightly. She knew... if i was to die... the ability to form chakra... it had to go... even in that form... she knew. What a strange... strange... Jinchuuriki she is" thought Genburori to himself, having his thoughts distorted a bit by the agonizing pain he was in as Symone just continued punching him to near death as Genburori took his last bit of energy to speak out, "Sou-...Souitai...! I'll... tell you...how to find him!".

Symone, in her deranged state, paused to the sound of her brother's name as she tilted her head with her ear-to-shoulder as curiously, she for once spoke out, "Sou-...i-...tai?".

Genburori speaks again as blood pours down his mouth, almost choking him, "I'll tell you about... Souitai".

Suddenly, that deranged chakra that was glowing pink around Symone's body had slowly diminished as her eyes were shown to be normal again.

Her hair gently collapsed down behind her, reformatting back to her original color as those fangs in her mouth started shortening, along with those nail-like claws as she's shown standing upright without being hunched over like a beast anymore.

Symone looks down to Genburori with a depressed look in her eyes that seemed shadowed in black as she wipes some of Genburori's blood from off of her lips and chin.

Symone seemed calm and normal again, powered down from the chakra of the Bijuu that somehow had been sealed within her body.

Genburori lays flat on his stomach in a massive pool of blood with his face smushed up against the ground as he states, "Your brother... go to the central Government building in South Amegakure... there... you will find officials... who have taken a man from my Temple... to complete their own goals. This man of mine... his name... his name is Makaze... Soudai Makaze(MEANING: Majestic Storm Caused By The Devil)".

"Soudai... Makaze?" stated Symone in question with barely any expression on her face, drained and worn out as her eyes are narrowed still in a shadowed-like emphasis as her voice was heard in a cool, calm manner.

"Find Makaze... he'll know... about... Souitai... but after meeting him... you might not be able... to live... as I... could not even... kill this man myself" stated Genburori as he smiled carelessly.

Symone looks on, showing her emotionless face forming a glimpse of shock in her eyes.

"Honestly though... I doubt... you'll even... make it that far... since I'm not finished yet!!" stated a battered, nearly dead Genburori.

"WHAT!?" shockingly stated Symone.

Genburori's nearly dead body had then just moved under the ground using the bones sticking out from through the opening in his back, burrowing under it within seconds without physically even moving his body as he quickly and randomly had yelled out, "Jisatsu Sawarabi no Mai!(Suicide Dance Of The Seeding Ferns!)".

Symone looks on as suddenly... a massive army of spiked bones come shooting from out of the ground beneath her, travelling across the landscape at such a fast pace she could barely keep up as she had been impaled through the legs, breaking the bones lose as she had continued running in pain as the blood leaked down from each leg, splashing against her knee's from the impact of her movement as she jumps up in the air, using what seemed to be the last bit of energy she had, trying to avoid the Sawarabi no Mai.

Symone then quickly sticks her hand in her holster, pulling out a kunai as she then went in again to pull out an explosive tag, but unfortunately, her holster had fallen off, dropping beneath her as a worried look appears on her face as she begins losing to gravity, falling back down in to the now mile-long pit of spiked bones, as she closes her eyes, forming a seal as she yelled, "Tate Iji No Ju-...", trying to form her barrier Jutsu, but it seemed she had been interrupted by something... as nothing but an image of the inside of Symone's thoughts is seen, showing nothing but emptiness; a black hole of nothing.

Symone opens her eyes as she looks up to the moon as night had almost set, thinking she was laying on her back, but as Symone tried to move, she felt a sharp pain as she coughed up blood all over herself, tilting her head forward, realizing... she was stuck; impaled straight through the stomach by one of the large seeding bones that expanded across the vast dirt land.

In a quick shock, feeling the pain only after realizing her situation, Symone passes out... left... to simply die.

"Did you hear that!?" stated a mans voice that had been seen walking side-by-side with others only in the shadows, appearing in what seemed to be somewhere within the remaining woodlands.

"Yeah... looks like trouble at the Kumogun Temple" stated another manly voice as a woman had replied, "We should check it out".

"Yes. Our duties for now should wait... Let's take the detour route towards the Temple and just scope it out. We'll check to see if anything needs to be done before returning" stated another man that seemed to be shown only from the side, showing his lips move as he spoke, seeming as if he was like a leader to the small group around him.

---

The battle is finally over. Genburori had been defeated by the pure aggression of the Jinchuuriki known only as Aisu Symone, though still alive, it seemed he had one last Jutsu to go out with, impaling Symone, leaving her to her death. Mikomi and Renji, as injured and out of it as they are can't seem to possibly be able to save themselves, or Symone, and thanks to Genburori, the scroll that could have summoned them to safety had been destroyed. Is the story and journey of our powerful kunoichi and her fearless and talented friends finally over? The next chapter of the story will be entitled, "Funeral".
