Chapter 14- Last Resort

So I noticed that I keep saying Chiya instead of Chiyo. The main Demon Wolf's name is Chiyo. Sorry, it's been a while since I updated this story but hopefully you'll stick around because awesome stuff is going to go down!

~Tsukiko's POV~

It's been almost 3 years since I visited the surface. The last time I was there, I "captured" the remaining Sannin souls and brought their chakra back to hell. The devil seems to be buying it so this is great! However, it will take a lot longer than anticipated to copy and replace the army of souls and chakra the devil is collecting. I won't have enough time to copy the whole army…I will only have time to tackle about 1/3 of it. I can't tell anyone of this just yet so let's just say that I stayed so long because I was almost in trouble.

"You will have to make the deal soon Kiki. The devil might attack sooner than planned, you may be able to push the date farther if you conclude it in the deal." Chiyo said as she laid with great poise on the rocks.

"The plan is almost done…but I feel weird. I feel as if I'm losing myself. The dark chakra within me is too much for me to handle. I'm going to have to make the summons." I said as I got out a scroll.

"Make the summons? For what?" Calcifer asked as he came and laid himself behind me so I could lean on him a bit.

"I will make a summoning scroll for Tsunade. I have a feeling that I will lose control as soon as I reach the surface after the deal is made so she will need this." I said before doing a melodic whistle to call for some of the warrior wolves.

Suddenly, I heard some the howls of the wolves that I called for and within seconds, they were coming through different parts of the cave and sitting in front of me. Ulva, Evaylo, Bardou, and Maika all came and sat in a row.

"I have chosen you 5 specifically including Calcifer for a summoning I am sealing in this scroll. When the time comes to have all of you together, you will be on the surface and your main priority will be to stop me and hold me down forcefully. I am afraid that if I slip into the evil chakra, I will need time to regain my self-control but if I am loose when piecing myself together, I will be a killing machine. As soon as you have a good hold on me, my comrades from the leaf village will knock me out and take me away to the village hidden in the leaves. The one who will summon you will be known as the 5th Hokage. Her name is Senju Tsunade and she practically raised me. She is a very powerful shinobi so you can trust my safety with her. Understood?" I asked as did some handsigns and pierced my thumb.

"Do we have to? I really don't want to hurt you Kiki-chan." Evaylo asked as she looked at me with a sorrowful expression. They never usually show their emotions.

"Yea I mean, maybe it won't get that bad…we want to protect you…not hurt you." Bardou stated and Maika along with Ulva agreed.

"The only way of protecting me in this situation is to help contain me. Please. I know you don't want to do it but it would mean a great deal to me." I said as I looked at the beautiful warriors in front of me.

Evaylo and Bardou were black demon wolves with bright blue marking to characterize their beautiful coats. Ulva was more of a dark grey wolf with black markings and Maika was similar to her. Calcifer was the only white one that will be up there with both silver and blue markings. All magnificent and stronger than any beast on the surface.

The wolves hesitated before nodding and stepped forward to mark the scroll with their blood. Once the scroll was complete, I dismissed them and they all left except Calcifer.

"You picked the best warriors we have down here. They won't fail you." Chiyo said before I got ready to leave her den.

"I know they won't. They are family and family protects one another. If they were in a situation as bad as this, I would do everything in my power to help them out." I said as I stroked Calcifer's huge neck and walked out.

"Be back soon before the devil notices your gone." Chiyo said.

"Yes ma'am." I said before smiling and leaving the cave to go someplace private.

I found a place in the cave that looked to be the darkest and quietest. I need to make sure that no one will see me leave and blab to the big boss. Once I knew that it was safe, I teleported to the surface.

The bright sun beams pouring from the tree tops above startled me. I haven't been out in sunlight in years. The air was fresh and clear and the trees were beautifully swaying in the breeze. Everything looked the same from the last time I was here. The birds all chirped in a clam melody to indicate that there hasn't been much of a disturbance in the woods today. It was definitely nicer than being stuck in the stuffy caves of smoke and lava for years on end. It feels as if I was breathing under multiple layers of heated blankets and now that I reached up for fresh air, it was chilled and most comforting.

I looked around and noted where I was and ran in the direction of Konoha with my sphere jutsu on. I slipped through the gates after smiling at Kotetsu and Izumo guarding them and made my way to the Hokage tower. The village looked brand new since the last time I saw it from the last attack. The villagers smiled and greeted each other as they went on with their day to day chores and agendas. I ran across some of the little kids in Naruto's class and smiled at how big they grew. It's hard to see them so big because I missed watching them grow all this time. I missed watching Naruto grow. It seems some have already made it as Jonin so early.

I eventually made it to the Hokage building and climbed up the side of it and through Tsunade's window. She was alone and busy writing in some scrolls and she looked a bit on the frustrated side but it looked like Ton Ton had a cozy spot on her lap. I released the sphere jutsu and startled her by accident.

"Tsukiko!" Tsunade said in complete shock and startled Ton Ton.

"Sorry sorry sorry! I didn't mean to scare you; I just needed to give you this." I said as I reached out with the scroll.

She looked at me with curiosity and took the scroll with caution.

"It's been almost 3 years Tsukiko…what happened?" Tsunade asked in a slightly angered tone.

"I couldn't come back as soon as anticipated…I thought the devil caught me copying your chakra and souls so instead of coming back up, I kissed ass for another 3 years…I'm sorry." I said as I rubbed my neck as an old habit for when I was nervous or in trouble.

"Everyone thought you were killed or trapped for good…" She then said as she looked down and tried to calm Ton Ton's nerves.

"I apologize Oneesan, I really do. Trust me, it practically killed me to be gone that long. No pun intended." I said before sitting at the chair at the other side of her desk.

Tsunade looked at me and then the scroll I just handed her a few moments ago.

"Don't open it. It's a summoning scroll. I came just 15 minutes ago and I can't stay much longer. Look, when I come back and detach myself from the devil, a dark cloud will form in the woods and it will look very unordinary. Once you see that cloud, I need you to take that scroll and some of your strongest Shinobi and go to the center of where that cloud will be hovering. I will appear soon within 5 minutes of the appearance and once I do, open the scroll and do the summoning." I said seriously as I explained.

"What am I summoning?" She asked as she looked deep into my eyes to try and read my actions.

"You will be summoning the 5 strongest demon wolves I have trained. They are the strongest and smartest warriors in my pack and they will be there to forcefully hold me down. I have a feeling that I will lose myself in the evil chakra inside of me but I will pull through and fight it. However, when I do lose myself, it will take all 5 of them to hold me down so don't get in their way or try and help. I need you there to knock me out so my mind shuts down and I can restore myself." I finished.

"When will this happen?" She asked in her authority tone.

"My plans should fit into place within 3 more weeks. Then I will make my move." I concluded.

"What are you planning?"

"I can't tell you Oneesan. I'm sorry but only my wolves and I can know of the plan. I will inform you when I wake up after my arrival... When I know I am under control. Just keep me away from the village when that happens. Have Yamato create an wooden prison to hold my unconscious self in and the wolves along with the Anbu or your choosing of Jonin will need to guard me until I can make sure I won't lose control again. I just need a 30 second window in order to apply a mind jutsu I've been working on for a long time now. Once I've successfully applied that jutsu and say Itcha Itcha Paradise Volume 23 then you can let me out."

"This sounds ridiculously unnecessary…are you sure you will need all the drastic measures? I mean how dangerous will you be?"

"I will be fighting the reaper chakra level that is basically all Jinchuuriki chakras combined and if I fail, I will have the lustful urge to kill like the nine tails. Right now, I am worried that these measures are not drastic enough…"I said as I paced her office.

"Anything else you have in mind?"

"Actually…" I said as I suddenly remembered something. I took one of her empty scrolls and her paint brush to scribble something down.

"This is a last resort. If you say this jutsu and use your blood to complete it, it will sever my chakra and I will die. This is a forbidden death jutsu I developed in hell so it is extremely dangerous so I trust that you and only you will read this scroll." I said as I rolled up the scroll and handed it to her.

"You can't be serious…" She said with that same hint of anger to her tone.

"I'm serious Tsunade. I have been trained to be a killing machine of the highest level. I have more chakra than you can ever know and more-some. If I get loose, I will destroy the whole village within a few hours. Don't hesitate to use that if things don't pan out. Promise me Tsunade." I said as I leaned on her desk.

"….-sigh- I promise." She said in defeat as she placed the scrolls in her desk.

"I must go now. I have much to do before I can come back and I need to make sure everything it absolutely flawless." I said as I was getting ready to leave.

"Be careful…my little Tsukiko. I'm not ready to lose you again." She said as she looked at me with sorrow.

"I love you Oneesan. I'm sorry I was gone so long but everything will be okay." I said but before I could put my sphere back up, Tsunade told me one last thing.

"Kiki…Naruto knows." Tsunade said.

I stopped in my tracks and looked at her with terror.

"He knows about me?"

"He's been trying to look for you. Kakashi told him about you because you were gone for so long." She finished.

"This is…wow. Naruto knows. Well okay…I guess I have a few more trips to take before I leave so I'll see you in exactly 3 weeks from now." I said as I contemplated what to do next but still did the sphere jutsu so no one outside the office will hear or see me.

I jumped back out of Tsunade's window and thought about where Kakashi would be. I want to see Naruto but it will be really hard to leave again if he knows I'm here. I will have a chat with Kakashi though real quick.

My heart suddenly felt faint and filled with a piercing pain. The reaper chakra is poisoning me. If I don't control or beat this then it will take over.

I stopped in my tracks on a side walk and concentrated on my chakra flow and tried using my good chakra to overpower the reaper chakra. It is pretty difficult carrying two types of chakra and at such high masses too. No wonder I'm losing my self-control. I won't be able to last for too long…

I settled the pain and began running again. If I knew Kakashi, he would either be at the grave stone or training/reading in the training grounds.

I continued on and noticed that he wasn't at the memorial stone so I walked around till I reached an open training ground out in the woods just north of the village. To make searching easier, I used wolf sight to see if he was out here. Sure enough, I caught his chakra just cool chillin in one of the trees ahead.

Stepping ever so eagerly, I made my way up the tree to see him reading Itcha Paradise like always. I then decided to startle him like I did Tsunade and released the sphere.

"You told Naruto!?" I suddenly asked.

I did startle Kakashi but not as bad as I thought. He immediately stood up after seeing me and then pushed me up again the tree with inhumane speed. Then he used wire and tied me down. This was a bit unexpected.

"Oh I don't have time for this! I don't know weither to be mad or grateful that you told Naruto about me." I said in a bit of a frustrated tone.

"Where were you?" He asked with sudden seriousness.

"Busy. Now let me go." I said as I impatiently tried to wiggle myself free.

Kakashi pushed his hands against the tree on both sides of my head and barricaded me in. His face was so close to mine it was a little uncomforting but holy oreos on a Monday did he smell good!

"I'm going to ask you one more time. Where have you been?" He asked with the same serious tone.

"-sigh- I'm alive and that's all that matters. Now answer my question, why did you tell Naruto?" I said as I looked right back into his dark eye.

"He deserved to know and you were gone for way too long. He wouldn't stop asking about you anyways." He said to me as he kept his stance.

"Kakashi…I didn't want him to know yet. With the way things are going, I can't be with him right now." I said as I tried wiggling again.

"You can't be with me either." He then pointed out.

"Kakashi…it's different with you." I said with a bit of sadness as I looked at him again.

"How so? Oh right…you don't love me anymore." He stated in his normal tone as he eased up and sat down on the tree trunk.

He made sure to keep the wire tightly secure around his two fingers.

"It's not like that! Look I know I said that I would kill my emotions for you but I can't. I can only hide them."

"What are you saying Tsukiko?"

"I'm saying that I love you! I still love you but I can't have you. It can't work out for us. You and Naruto and my family in the village are my weaknesses and if he learned of that now…I could lose you." I said as I looked down at the wire around me and tried not to show emotion.

"Why are you so stubborn to where you won't ever ask for help Kiki? Ever since we were kids, you never wanted anyone to help you." Kakashi then said with a slight change to his tone. I think he's protecting himself by not letting my love in anymore.

"This is so much bigger than you and the village Kakashi! This is even bigger than the Akatsuki!" I said as I struggled against the wire.

"And you are taking all of the work for yourself Tsukiko! That is not the shinobi way and you know it!" He said in his normal tone.

"I'm sorry Kakashi…I know that this will kill a great deal of people but I can prevent it." I said as I try wiggling again but it seems that the wire keeps getting tighter.

Why am I even stuck in this in the first place?

"Kakashi take this off of me!" I said with a little frustration.

"No. You will just leave if I do. This is the longest we've talked in a long time and I'm not finished with you yet. Now, what is this thing you are talking about that will come destroy the village?" He then asked before looking out at the village in the distance.

"Have the Hokage tell you. She knows and I don't have the time to explain." I said.

"I want to hear it from you. What are you planning Tsukiko?" He then asked in a more serious tone.

"Stop asking! I don't think you should know yet! If I tell you and the devil is really watching me right now then it will all go to hell!" I said in a bit of anger before heating up my body to such an intense temperature that it melted the wire and burned the tree.

Kakashi looked at me with shock and jumped back.

"I'm leaving. I've extended my welcome long enough." I said as I jumped down and started walking away from him.

"So how long before you show again? Another year or two?" Kakashi then said as he took out his book and just leaned against a different tree.

"Oh so now you care? So much for keeping up your big act of loving me back. I'll be back in 3 weeks and I may be able to stay for a temporary amount of time. It's good that you are angry with me. You don't show it but I know you. It will be easier for you to let me go when the time comes." I said before teleporting back into hell.

"Let you go? What does she mean by that?" Kakashi mumbled after looking at where Tsukiko stood.

I walked back into the wolf den and noticed the wolves were sleeping so I walked over and laid on my side and cuddled up in front of Chiyo. She noticed that I was there immediately and curled herself around me protectively. I thought about the plan and went over it in my mind constantly to make sure I didn't miss the slightest detail or flaw. In three weeks' time, I will make my move.

I couldn't help but drift my thoughts elsewhere for a few moments. What will happen when I settle back into Konoha? Can I let people get close to me or will I keep myself distant to protect them from my fate? What if Kakashi refused to love anyone but me? Will I be able to be with him? Will I let myself be with him?

"You seem at quite the dilemma with yourself my child." Chiyo said in mind link.

"Yea…I'm kinda lost." I said bluntly as I stroked her beautiful white fur.

"You'll find your way. You've gotten this far. I don't see you giving up now." She said after a slight chuckle.

"You're right. I can't afford to doubt myself now. I know what I need to do." I said as I realized my own strengths.

"This little game ends in 3 weeks' time." I finished.
