Tasogare Chronicles
Chapter 3: All out Jinchuriki Brawl Pt.2!
"Shit it's the other Jinchuriki, it might be three of us but I doubt we'll win if they team up." Fu said with a worried look.
"I doubt we'll win either way." Gaara said somberly.
"I sat back and listened to your plea Naruto, and I must say for one so young it's a damn good plan. I guess what I'm saying is count me in." Came Utakata's cool voice as he appeared behind them.
"What the hell are you thinking Utakata?" Yagura asked as he prepared for another round.
"Here's my theory Lord Yagura if these children who are probably no older than 15 years old, traveled all the way here from their respective villages to tell us this… then it must true. Also ask yourself this do you think any of the villages would let their Jinchuriki go so willingly, especially the Leaf." Explained Utakata.
Yagura's head was bowed then he suddenly started to laugh like a lunatic. He began to walk towards the sea that Naruto and co. crossed to get there, and every step he took his chakra rose even higher.
"Damn! Get back he's gonna fully transform!" Utakata yelled when he realized what Yagura was doing.
When Yagura completely submerged himself in the sea, a powerful shockwave pulsed throughout the area. Another two pulses shot through the area before a fully transformed Three Tails rose from the sea. With a furious roar Yagura sent a shockwave in all directions leveling everything within a one mile radius.
"Damn now what do we do?" Fu asked her cohorts.
"We have to fight him to the best of our abilities… even though we'll probably die." Utakata said a sad face.
"I know of a way we can beat him." Gaara said with focused eyes.
"How?" Asked Fu.
But before Gaara could answer hit was punched in the face by Naruto. The Leaf's Jinchuriki glared dangerously at his friend, and Gaara knew full well why.
"Are you crazy you fucking jackass!? You know there is no way you can control Shukaku! Just because you've controlled this much of its power doesn't mean you can control a full transformation!" Naruto yelled.
"I'M BORED WITH THIS NONSENSE WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUST GO TO HELL TOGETHER!" Yagura bellowed then swung down his tail upon them.
The four of them jumped outta the way only to smacked into the cliff face which shattered upon impact. When Yagura pulled his tail back to see Gaara and Fu unconscious amongst the rubble. Scanning the beach he found Utakata standing in front of him. His tattered yukata hung loosely around his waist.
"But where is the other one?" Yagura thought, oblivious to the fact that Naruto was closer than he knew.
"Let's see how you handle this… RASENGAN!" Yelled Naruto as he dove down from the tail Yagura used to attack them with.
He drove the spiraling ball into Yagura's head only to be thrown off like and annoying gnat. Utakata caught him before he hit the ground, and Naruto just smiled sadly up at him.
"Well I guess that's it Utakata… I put all my chakra into that jutsu… and in the end I still… couldn't beat him." Naruto said before he finally passed out.
Utakata released his bijuu cloak then looked up at a now normal Yagura.
"Are you happy now Lord Yagura you can stop this charade." The Six Tails container said calmly.
"Yea I guess you're right but don't you think it was kinda fun to play with them for a while?" Yagura said a warm smile.
"I doubt they'll find this funny when they awaken. So what did you think of Naruto's plan? Do you think it'll work?" Utakata asked as they walked over to the others.
"Let's see… I think the boys have lots of potential, Gaara was able to gain control over his bijuu during the fight, Naruto shows excellent growth potential, but the girl is a mystery to me. I couldn't read her at all but nonetheless I think Naruto's plan is a good idea. They can't get us if we're all together so if we plan to go with them, we must leave within the next few hours." Yagura explained as they dug Gaara and Fu out of the rubble.
"I agree. If the council gets wind of this there's no one any of us is leaving." Utakata said then put all three teens in levitating bubbles.
"Hey I'm the Fourth Mizukage I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want. Now let's hurry back we'll put them at your place until it's time to leave." Yagura said then they disappeared in a tornado of bubbles.
~x Hours Later x~
Naruto awoke with a massive headache he then noticed the yellow ceiling above him. He sat up quickly and scanned the room, and realized he was in someone's room as well as being bandaged up.
"I want honey & cream tea…" Said a voice.
Naruto looked down next to him to Fu cuddled under Gaara, with his arm wrapped protectively around her.
"I'm happy for you Gaara you finally found someone." The blond thought with a smile.
It was then a bandaged Utakata entered the room carrying a tray full of food.
"Ah you're awake would you do me a favor and wake up the other two while get the rest of dinner." Utakata asked then left back out the door.
Now that they weren't shrouded by a fog Naruto got a clearer view of Utakata. He was a tall, thin young man with pale golden eyes and brown hair that reached his shoulders. His eyes were very narrow. His side parting allowed a large portion of his bangs cover the left side of his face. He wore a long, light blue kimono adorned with a small emblem of three bubbles on the back, and a pair of grey pants underneath, with an orange sash. The kimono hung loose, exposing his chest. In it, he was carrying a bamboo jug filled with a soap solution, and a pipe
"Hey Gaara wake up and that goes for you to Fu." Naruto said as he shook them.
Gaara was first to wake up his emerald green eyes slowly opened followed by a set of pink orbs. They stared at each other for a second then looked at their bodies. Both began to blush and Naruto readied himself for the hysterics.
"You know Gaara as much as I enjoy this I think it's time to get up." Fu said shyly.
"You're right I'm sorry." Gaara said then unwrapped his arm.
"You two are so boring I was expecting screams of pervert, someone getting whacked over the head, or at least someone falling out of the bed." Naruto said with a deadpanned face.
"Okay how's this…" Fu asked as she kicked the blond off the bed.
"Bitch…" Naruto said a groan.
The others laughed until they heard the door opening. Two sand shuriken flew by Utakata as he walked in and he looked at the teens with wide eyes.
"Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Utakata said with a light chuckle.
"It's you Umata-san." Fu said pointing at the older Jinchuriki.
Utakata chuckled again before he placed their food down on the table.
"Its Utakata and it great to see you're up and better." He told her as leaned against the wall.
"Oh sorry about that so where are we anyway?" Fu asked then got up and stretched her body.
"We're at my home now enough question little ones you must eat something to regain your strength. We are leaving in just a couple of hours so you'll need your energy." Utakata explained.
"So I guess you found a way to beat that mean turtle and escape huh?" Said as she took a bite from her dinner roll.
"Who are you calling a mean turtle? I swear kids these days have no respect." Yagura said from his place on the windowsill.
All three teens froze their minds were telling their bodies to run, but their bodies were telling their minds it's useless.
"Jeez Yagura don't scare them half to death. I'd like to introduce you to The Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Yagura." Utakata said trying to ease the tension.
"But he tried to kill us!Why is he here?" Fu asked them.
"Oh quit your whining girl if I wanted to end your miserable life, you wouldn't be sitting there with a bread roll in your mouth. I merely wanted to test you three, and so far I wasn't impressed." Yagura said with a glare.
"Yagura play nice now after all we will be traveling together for a while." Utakata chided.
"Why have you decided to come with us?" Gaara asked then took a bite of his fish while carefully watching the Mizukage's moves.
"I've known about the Akatsuki for quite some time now, Jiraiya and I actually discovered them around the same time. I just never had any time to do anything about them with me being the Mizukage and all." Explained the older blond.
"What are you gonna do about your village?" Naruto asked as ate his food while carefully watching Yagura.
"The way I see it the council can handle things until I return." Yagura said with a shrug.
"Well then welcome aboard Yagugu!" Fu shouted with a smile.
"It's Yagura you little brat." Told her as a tick appeared on his forehead.
"Anyway I was thinking we could head to the Hidden Cloud Village since its closer." Naruto said after he finished his meal.
"That's fine just don't expect them to just hand over their Jinchuriki just like that." Utakata told the young leaf ninja.
"While we're here may I ask how did you two become acquainted?" Gaara asked the newest members to their group.
"Maybe you all haven't noticed but a Jinchuriki is usually related to a cage of their village in some way. " Utakata revealed causing the three youngsters to put some thought into their own lineage.
"My father was the Third Mizukage." Yagura revealed.
"And my grandfather was the Second Mizukage." Utakata said with a small smile. "We kinda grew up together… I had the Six Tails sealed into me when I turned a year old. When Yagura and I met, he about five and the council have decided they would seal the wild Three Tails into him. Afterwards… when was being tortured by some of the villagers… I stepped in to help him… we've been friends ever since." Utakata explained calmly.
"At least you two had each other we didn't have anyone until recently." Naruto said with dead eyes.
"Both Yagura and Utakata could tell something harsh had happened to him. They just decided not delve into at the moment.
"My father… he was the Fourth Kazekage… he hated me to the point where he ordered my assassination." Gaara admitted sadly.
"My great grandfather was an elite ninja for the Waterfall Village… he was given a mission, and if he had succeeded then he would've been given the title of the Leader of the Village. Unfortunately he failed and was sentenced to a harsh punishment… he escaped confinement and fled the village. Our family was disgraced and to further put our family down they made me the Jinchuriki of the Seven Tails." By the end of her story Fu was in tears.
"I don't really feel like waiting another hour… I think enough time has passed. How bout we leave now?" Yagura suggested.
"I think that's a good idea the longer we stay the harder it'll be to leave." Gaara said then began gathering up their belongings.
"Who is the next Jinchuriki Gaara?" Fu asked as she tied on her cylinder.
Gaara took out his information scroll and read down the list.
"There are two Jinchuriki in the Hidden Cloud Village their names are Killer Bee and Yugito Nii." Gaara said with a worried frown.
"What's up Gaara?" Asked Naruto after noticed his friend's mood change.
"When I was looking up info on them I found out that the cloud didn't have any problems flaunting Killer Bee. It seems that like Yagura he has complete control over his bijuu, and on top of that his bijuu is…" Gaara began to sweat as he came to the realization that they really might die this time.
"Gaara get yourself together man what bijuu does this guy hold?" Naruto asked getting impatient.
"He holds the… Eight Tails." Gaara announced making everyone's heart stop.
