"STOP IT"
BOOOOOOOOOM!
"Arghhhhh…"
"Move those civilians to safety"
"We can't keep him down, where's the Hokage?"
BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOM!
Another huge series of explosions sounded with an earth shattering roar as the six tailed miniature Kyubi shot another series of chakra shots out killing and destroying anything in its path.
"HAHHHHHHHHH…", Gai, who had already opened a few chakra gates bellowed in rage as he moved in speed with his student next to him. They both got in range to attack the beast but as expected, the beast was much quicker and, more savage as it sent the two green beasts of Konoha crushing into a building which toppled down upon them.
"GAI", Kakashi run to the position Gai and his student had crushed into just to be greeted by a huge red fist erupting from the ground and almost grabbing him in the process. With a quick series of hand seals, a clone puffed into existence and charged towards the enraged , rampaging jinchuriki. As the real Kakashi dodged one of the several red fists bubbling out of the beast, the clone run towards the beast with a kunai in hand.
"Just a slight contact and-"
"GROOOOOAAAAHHHHH…", the enraged beast roared as it sent a huge burst of chakra out with force enough to blast every shinobi in too close a perimeter. This was a losing battle, Kakashi thought as he landed on a good distance from the chaos. There were two sides to this battle and unfortunately, Konoha was on the losing side. The copy ninja wondered a few things where was the Hokage, where was Jiraiya and …who was the person he saw vanish before this whole incident had started and that was less than thirty minutes ago. A figure appeared beside the copy ninja still panting heavily from what they had been and still going through.
"It seems the evacuation is almost complete, thus the second phase is to begin any moment from now. ", Yamato spoke as he looked at the still rampaging six tailed Kyubi. He had tried his best already trying to use his abilities to reverse the transformation…but one of this level seemed impossible.
"Ok, we'll have to hold it till…WHAT?", Kakashi almost choke out as he saw what was going on. The miniature Kyubi had reared its head up with bubbles of chakra emanating and compressing above it. This wasn't good…not good at all. It closed its mouth around the ball of chakra.
"We've got to stop it…now", Yamato said out loud as he knew what happened next. The beast reared its head up facing the building on which they stood on. It was too late for them. And it…
"Summoning Jutsu".
Suddenly, the ground shook and a huge explosion sounded. Slowly, the dust cleared to reveal a huge green toad with two swords strapped to its back. And standing on top of it was Jiraiya himself…in his sage mode with the two toads fused to his shoulders.
"Sorry for summoning you here on such short notice but I need your help. ", the sage spoke respectfully to his superiors who help stabilize the nature chakra in his body without him changing further into a toad.
"Don't worry Jiraiya-boy, the Kyubi isn't something to be taken lightly. ", the old toad, Fukasaku, spoke wisely as he gazed at the destruction around him.
"Seems your godson has been pushed to a huge point", Shima spoke.
The sanin vanished and reappeared beside Kakashi and Yamato as he stared at the damage which had been caused.
"IS it over?", Yamato asked as he gazed upon the giant toad sitting upon the Kyubi, clearly the force should be enough to render it dead or at least weakened. As if to answer the wood user, the ground around the toad begun to crack up as huge tails erupted from the ground. Before any reaction could be done, the toad was sent crushing into the mountain side, destroying almost all the faces of the previous Hokage.
"GROOOOOAAHHHHHH…", a huge roar sounded and sent shockwaves around the crater caused by the toad who had now disappeared into smoke. Jiraiya frowned; it was his turn to shine. With his plan perfectly logical to him alone, he leapt off the rooftop and went into battle.
Hinata almost winced at the sound of explosions rock the underground chamber that the civilians were being led through. She stood beside a few friends who with urgency instructed the civilians on what to do. Inwardly, she was scared. She remembered when she first saw the pillar of red chakra rise to the sky and send a strange sense of coldness through anyone who saw it almost as if looking into the eyes of death itself. She also remembered the commotion which had been spiked when the news spread that Naruto had partially released the Kyubi to wreck havoc to everyone. She'd had a hard time believing it and still did…at least it had changed her plans to try and rescue him.
"Hinata?".
The Hyuga heiress blinked from the thoughts flooding into her mind to look at a quite worn out Sakura who had been busy with helping the injured with the help of several nurses who were equally busy.
"Could you help me here, keep pressure on his wound, I can't heal it quickly enough", the pink haired medical shinobi said before going over to another patient whilst Hinata did what she instructed. Injured shinobi were being brought almost every second…it seemed that things were going to chaos. Hinata pressed both palms harder on the shinobi's chest trying to stop more loss of blood…but as much as she wanted to be there to help, her mind kept on drifting somewhere else. Her mind kept drifting to the thought of Naruto being safe even if everyone generally felt he was the devil in that situation.
"Jiraiya-sama's arrived…he's going to defeat and kill the demon", a shino who just brought another injured civilian spoke to another as they rushed out not caring if anyone heard them. Unfortunately, Hinata did and she was uncomfortably worried, her plan to save Naruto had failed…but was there more she could do? Was there anything she could do to save him?
'I'm not going to give up', she mentally told herself as she left the injured shinobi and run towards the entrance avoiding the calls from Sakura. She would save him…she just would. And with those final thought s going through her mind, she run into hells mouth trying to save he who she loved so dearly.
"SAGE ART: BATH OF BOILING FLAME".
Jiraiya leapt from the crater as he spewed a huge blast of oil with both Fukasaku and Shima releasing fire and wind at the same time. The result was the crater being filled to the brim with fire. The sage landed, he had never wished it be this difficult…he was dealing with something of history, legends and blood thirst.
"We'll have to find another way of weakening it long-", Fukusaku stopped in mind speech as the ground under them begun to crumble. Right after the sage leaped out of the way, a huge red fist broke free and out of the ground but before he could react in mid air, another fist came at him. With slight stress, the sanin managed to slip out of its reach and landed calmly on the ground right on time to see the seven tailed bijuu burst out of the burning crater and dash at him with speed.
"Seems that it's after you now. "
Jiraiya knew that and had one thing in mind…he needed to protect the village from further damage. With still tons of chakra available in his sage mode, he dashed away, hotly pursued by the miniature bijuu which roared angrily as it followed him, shattering everything in it's path.
"Jiraiya-boy, you'll have to keep him at bay as Ma and I prepare the jutsu…are you sure you really want to do this? ", Fukasaku spoke calmly and when Jiraiya gave no reply, they knew there was no turning back.
"Ok…we'll prepare it", Shima said almost solemnly. Before the three could utter another word, a blur of red flashed past them and before…
"RASENGAN", Jiraiya yelled as he met a red form with a giant rasengan which sent the bijuu crushing through the woods right outside Konoha. As expected, the attack didn't even touch it.
"Fire release: big flame bullet", the sage roared, sending a huge burst of ignited oil at the miniature Kyubi. But with a huge roar, the attack was nullified as the Kyubi form of Naruto charged at him sending the sage crushing through the trees. By the time Jiraiya stood up, he was facing something of nightmares because right above the seven tail's head was a small but lethal black ball of chakra. Without much thought, the sage went straight forward, pouring a huge amount of chakra into the rasengan in his hand making it grow until it looked like a miniature form of the moon. The black ball was launched and met the rasengan and made an explosion which engulfed miles around them in light sending shockwaves farther than the eye could see.
"The seal is almost ready", Shima said to an almost exhausted sage as he stood shockingly looking at the distance form of the Kyubi. He had to start restraining it now. With speed, he flew through hand seals and slammed his palm on the ground.
"Earth release: swamp of the underworld."
Immediately, the ground turned into deep mud and Jiraiya was content to see the form of the Kyubi sinking deep into the mud…now it was retrained. The jutsu could now be…he paused as the mud seemingly begun to boil, turning red from the insane amount of chakra it was trying to restrain. The ground trembled violently for the first time bringing some sense of fear into the sage. His worst fears were realized as a huge pink fleshy head burst out of the mud rising fast as the rest of its body rose as well. Jiraiya bit his thumb going through seals as he saw what rose from the mud. Standing tall over him was the eight tailed form of an almost complete form of the Kyubi which sent the most menacing and earth shattering roar of bloodlust that the sage had ever heard. But without much more thought, he slammed his fist on the ground, summoning his last attempt to stabilize the situation. There was a huge blast and by the time the cloud cleared, there stood a huge toad with the sage standing on its head.
"It's ready", the two old toads said at the same time.
"Ok. Gamabunta, let's get this job done".
"YEAHHH", the huge toad shouted drawing its huge tantō and dashing straight at the beast.
The village was in ruins and Hinata didn't need her doujutsu to see that. Everything was in chaos with death and fire all around her. She looked to a far end to see an exhausted Kakashi and Yamato helping a panting Gai and an unconscious Lee. Her heart skipped a beat when she felt the ground tremble slightly with the feeling of coldness and death in the air. For one, she was sure she wasn't the only one who could feel the absolute huge mass of menacing chakra. With shaky hands, she formed a seal and instantly, chakra was directed to her eyes to activate her vision which spanned to a 390 degree vision which spread far…she pushed herself further and gasped when she found what she was looking for. Far from the village were two huge forms, one a huge toad and the other had eight tails swishing violently behind it and…Hinata's heart beat increased as she saw exactly what was happening. The chakra of the eight tailed seemed to be increasing, rather incredibly quickly too. She run with all she was worth as tears filled her eyes. She feared she'd loose him.
Jiraiya paled as he landed beside a wounded Gamabunta. The giant toad had put on a show but still not enough to withstand the raw strength of theKyubi.
"Jiraiya-boy, we have to finish this, it's getting ready to become full. ".
The weakening sage already knew what his two elders were talking about. The Kyubi had started to glow a red tint of light as it roared triumphantly. Without much thought, the toads on the sage's shoulders formed the same seal. They may not be able to do the real jutsu but they could at least help. Jiraiya smiled, this was it, and this was how it was all going to end for him. His smile deepened as markings begun appearing all over his body as he put more chakra into his trump card.
"NOW", he roared. The elderly toads released a series of loud croaks which for the instant seemed to leave the huge bijuu in a state of confusion. Knowing that this wouldn't last, Jiraiya leaped forward, a breath drawn to finish it all.
"SEAL".
Naruto sighed. He could feel everything vanishing from him. All the pain, sorrow and sadness the world had ever brought to him seemed to vanish. The only thing which remained was a deep rumbling breath.
"Release me, and I'll give you peace and save you from all this".
The boy sighed again, his mind circling the peace which seemed to be offered to him. Peace he deserved. With nothing more to lose, he got up from his kneeling position and walked up to the huge gates, raised a shaky hand and reached for the seal, ready to rip it off and…a light. The boy turned to see a bright light shining and before he could do anything, the pain vanished, everything faded away and clearly everything begun to settle up making images appear in blurry from which slowly settled until he opened his eyes to gaze upon the night sky above him with the smell of chaos around him. Still a bit groggy, he slowly got to his feet, still a bit hazy from nothing he could remember. He looked around him confused to see nothing but destruction all around him and…he froze with his mind under turmoil. On the ground a little distance away from him was a body. He could clearly see who it was.
"Ero-senin", he whispered and stumbled weakly there and fell on his knees with tears in his eyes. He grabbed the man and tried to help him sit with his head resting on his shoulder.
"NA…ru…to, you're…safe", and with those words, one person stopped breathing. Only one person left alive. With no sense of strength, the boy let the sears in his eyes glide down his cheeks. He didn't care if he looked weak then, just that a person had been wiped from his life…who else was left for him to lose? Slowly, the tiredness begun to creep over his body. Who else would stand by his side?
"Naruto-kun".
He turned his head slowly to the side to see a figure running towards him…she had dark blue hair…with the smell of lavender and…everything faded away.
Hinata fell on her knees beside the unconscious form of Naruto beside the dead figure of Jiraiya. For a second she didn't know what to do but came to a conclusion...if she were here, then the Anbu and other shinobi would be here any second. She'd always failed her promises but with this, she wasn't going to fail…she would save him.
"They're coming for you", she whispered almost to the wind as tears formed in her eyes. She wiped them away as she felt she needed to be strong. So with a renewed source of strength, she grabbed Naruto and carried him before printing away into the dark forest. If they were lucky, they'd escape from the tracking team. But unknowing to her, a small figure was following them.
