Chapter 17 – Sakura's ultimate power jutsu
.
"Huh?"
"…"
Finally getting all the attention, the pink haired girl looked at the scene before her with disbelief. The jutsu wasn't working at all. She hasn't even been able to fail it…
'God dammit, now I look like an idiot…' thought depressingly the girl as all eyes were on her.
"Haa… How disappointing. Just when I thought someone was going to entertain me." said Madara with sarcasm.
"Tch… Pathetic." replied Sasuke while planting his sword in the ground.
"Yeah! Something along those line… Well, better luck next time, now if you'll excuse me, I have an eye to collect." added Madara as he was advancing toward Kakashi who was now firmly hold by Asuma and Dan.
"YOU PIECE OF SHIT! I'M GOING…" started the girl before a weird tingling start to creep inside of her from head to toe.
"Hmmm… I didn't quite hear that… What were you saying?" teased the older Uchiha.
"YOU ARE SO GOING… to… pay… when…" tried to reply the girl while losing her focus.
"Sakura? Are you alright?" asked Tsunade, not too far away.
The pink haired girl slowly looks at her hands that were now shaking and begin to panic.
'What the hell is going on?' thought the girl.
"Sakura?" asked again Tsunade.
"Hummm…"
As she was about to answer her sensei, a wave of chakra engulf her.
'Oh no! It's working…'
"Well, when you're done wasting my time, just say so, so I can continue with my plans, little cherry blossom." stated Madara finally fed up with the girl interruption.
As soon as his feet start to walk again toward the grey haired man, a second more powerful wave of chakra wrapped itself around the girl. But this time, Sakura wasn't the only one who senses it… Everybody felt it. At the same time, Sasuke took hold of his kusanagi and everyone look at Sakura with curiosity. Even Naruto who was suffering from the demon extraction give her a glance. Her whole body was now shaking from the force of the chakra. Ino who was looking at the pink haired girl's form was starting to freak out.
"Sa-Sakura?" asked tentatively the girl as she approach her friend.
"Nghmmmm!" growled Sakura in pain as she closed her eyes.
Soon, the girl fall to her knees and grab the ground with both hands, fingers digging in the earth as her entire body crumpled under the pressure of the chakra.
"SAKURA!" yelled Ino while running toward the said girl.
As she was about to reach her friend, a third wave of chakra hit Sakura hard. This time, the wake was ten times stronger than the previous one and the power of it blow away everything around Sakura. Ino didn't escape this fate; her body was thrown away from the pink haired girl. She landed 6 meters away with a loud thud. The chakra around Sakura was now escaping her body and dancing around her like a ghost like aura, its power growing with each passing seconds. When the fourth wave finally came, Sakura couldn't bear the pain anymore. Her piercing shrieking was the only other recognizable sound among the furious wind her now spinning chakra was doing.
"What the hell…" whispered Tsunade, horrified.
"INO! Are you alright?" asked Kiba as he hurriedly helps her get up.
"Hnnn…" groaned the girl as she stands up.
It didn't take long for the rest of their friends to reach them.
"What's going on?" asked Shikamaru as he helps Kiba with Ino, "Neji?"
"Byakugan!" said the boy while focusing on the pink haired girl.
Curious too, Hinata did the same while keeping a safe distance.
"Sakura..." spoke worriedly Kakashi, who was still suffering from his injuries.
On the allies' side, confusion and worries were also part of the game. The Kages were looking at the scene with a worried eye but yet curious of what was happening.
"What's going on with her?" asked Temari to her two brothers.
"…"
"I don't know…" answered honestly Gaara as he looks at Sakura.
"So Neji?" asked impatiently Lee.
"Her chakra system is burning from the inside. There's so much chakra and it keeps on rising!" said the Hyugga with horror.
"She's using a forbidden jutsu! From her clan…" finally explained Ino as she holds on Kiba's shoulder.
"A forbidden jutsu?" almost yelled Shikamaru with panic in his voice.
The pink haired girl who was still yelling in pain tried to stay focus even if her ears were buzzing. She knew that this meant that the jutsu was working, but if she was going to use it she needed to stand it. Quickly scanning her body, she easily find that her chakra system wasn't able to accommodate with the overload of chakra.
'I need to use a healing jutsu to protect the chakra system, or I won't be able to do anything.' thought the girl while trying to do the signs.
Releasing the ground, Sakura did a healing jutsu and a green chakra enveloped each chakra paths to protect it, reducing the effects of the pain at the same time. Regaining her breath while the fifth and the sixth wave hit her, Sakura took for the first time a look around her and realize the jutsu intensity. Her chakra was rolling around her like a storm, destroying the ground with each pulsation. She couldn't stop herself from thinking that she must look scary, just like Sasuke when he had wake up from the curse mark for the first time.
"Great! She had used another jutsu to protect her!" said Hinata.
"Good thing, but what is going on now?" asked Shikamaru.
"I don't know but the way her chakra is flowing reminds me of Lee and Gai's eight gates technique. It's like she had opened all the gates and that her chakra was still growing in power. If she continues like that she'll reach the chakra levels of Naruto. That's insane! Even with the jutsu she had applied, I doubt she'll be able to stand it." spoke Neji.
"What? But we have to stop her!" immediately replied Ino.
"And how are we going to do that? She's five meters away from us and we can't even approach her!" said Kiba with sarcasm.
"But…" begin to cry Ino.
Feeling a bit rude, the brown haired boy took the crying blond into his arms while Shikamaru rubbed her back.
"She's the one who used the jutsu… Thrust her on that one." spoke Shikamaru as he watches the pink haired girl.
Suddenly, an exploding sound was heard and the chakra around the pink haired girl assembles into a huge ball of opaque chakra before exploding and destroying the field around her. All of the ninjas near her jumped away to hide from the chakra that was now biting the ground like a whip. When some of it dissipated, Sakura was now up on her two feet, her arms limp by her side and her head was down, her bangs covering her face while some snippets of chakra float around her. Madara, who had jumped away to protect himself from the explosion, looked at her with a weird look on his face as well as the others. Slowly rising her head, Sakura straighten her pose and opened her eyes like a predator looking at Madara with a hateful look.
"God dammit!" said Neji to the others, "I was right… Her chakra levels are similar to those of Naruto and the Kyubbi!"
"How is that even possible? You said she couldn't hold that much power?" asked Shikamaru.
"I don't know…" replied the young Hyuga.
"Oh my gosh!" added Hinata.
"Sakura is sure full of youthful surprises…" said Lee in awe.
"Sakura…" whispered Ino.
"So…" begin to say Sakura with a sexy yet dangerous smirk on her face, "Who wants to play now?"
"…"
"Let me take care of her Madara. Sakura had escaped her fate once, she won't do it twice." said Kabuto while licking his lips in anticipation.
"Sigh, why not…"
And with that said, the snake launches himself at the girl, his tongue reaching to grab her.
"SAKURA! MOVE!" yelled Tsunade in panic as she tried to stand up.
And then it happened. The pink haired girl took the tongue of the man and pulls him toward her with one swift move of her right hand. When his body appeared near her, she punches him. Once the hit touch him, his body bent in two and got thrown away on the other side of the battlefield. Landing on the ground, his body did a hole in the ground before bouncing back two or three times leaving holes and cracks in its wake. No one dare to speak after that.
"Sigh, boring!" said the pink haired girl while looking at her hand in a snobbish way.
"Hummm… That was interesting." replied Madara.
"Give me back Naruto. Now." spoke Sakura, the treat in her voice clearly evident.
"And what if I don't want to?"
Sakura didn't waste any time and immediately launch herself at him, creating craters in her wake with each step she took toward the older Uchiha. But to the extra force cause by her overload of chakra, her speed was nowhere near any normal shinobi. So for the first time, as Madara was about to use his time jutsu, Sakura caught up on him and hit him, throwing him away.
"What? How is it possible?" whispered the man in pain as he lands on his back.
"Give me Naruto, now." repeat the pink haired girl.
"Protect the jinchurikis! Don't let her go near them." barked Madara to his minions while getting up.
"That was the wrong move…" stated Sakura as she chased Madara.
'Ugh! I need to keep her busy if I want to focus on the beasts extraction.' thought the older Uchiha as he avoid the speed combos of the girl.
With each avoid hit, the man could feel the chakra emanating from the girl. She would be tough. Using a time jutsu, he tried to escape the girl, but she catch up. He kicked her but she avoids, she tried to hit him but he avoids. The battle was insanely fast and that's when it clicked in his mind. Kakashi… He was the perfect distraction. By passing her, Madara ran at the tired grey haired man who was still trying to get pass the body of Asuma. But the pink haired girl was no fool. In no time, she created a clone and ran in front of Madara. In no time and surprising the copy cat nin, the girl grab her sensei by his shoulders, throwing him off the ground and rotate her body in mid-air so that Kakashi was now on top of her and launch an exploding kunai at Madara's feet who disappeared in a puff of smoke. The real Sakura begin to look frantically around for him, while the explosive tag explode and her clone land hard on her back with Kakashi on top of her. Once they stopped moving, the grey haired man hurriedly stands up from his comfortable place on Sakura's breast with a blush on his covered face.
"Kakashi! Are you alright?" asked the pink haired girl with worries.
"Hummm… Yeah! But never do that again!" answered the man looking away.
"Ha, ha! Gotta go now…"
"Sakura wait!" begin Kakashi as the clone disappeared.
When the smoke from the last explosion dissipated, the alliance got out of their stupefaction and the battle begins once again. Kakashi helped the Raikage to get away from the center of the fight, while Gaara took Tsunade, Mei and Onoki out of the way with his sand. Madara jumped on Sakura with a sword and try to stab her, but in vain, while Sasuke join the fight against the girl. Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba and Lee decided to take on the previous jinchurikis to try to reach the blond haired boy. After almost ten minutes of intense fight between the leaf nins and the previous jinchurikis, all the rookie nin, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Temari and Kankouro had join the fight. But it was obvious that they wouldn't be able to overcome them in time. Upon seeing her friends Sakura knew that she had to do something to give them the upper hand and she knew exactly what to do. Using Madara's shoulders for leverage, Sakura took a kunai and threw it at full speed at Zetsu. As the knife pierce through the air in a whistling sound, the plant man let go of everything he was doing and separate himself in two to avoid the blow. Behind him, the kunai land with a powerful hit on the ground, shaking the circle of incantation. Surprised by the outburst, the ninjas broke their focus and stop the extraction.
"SHIKAMARU! NOW!" yelled Sakura at the top of her lungs while Madara threw her off himself.
As told by the girl, Shikamaru used his Shadow Imitation Technique on each members of the Akatsuki that were extracting the demons, holding them in place.
"KIBA! CLEAR THE PLACE FOR THE GIRLS!" ordered the Nara.
"Alright sir!" replied Kiba as he and Akamaru jump in the circle and throw them all away.
"HINATA, INO! GET NARUTO! TEMARI, TENTEN! YOU GET KILLERBEE! NEJI PROTECT THEM!"
"YES SHIKAMARU!" said Ino as the girls ran toward the two men with Neji in front of them and Lee behind.
"Oh Naruto!" whispered Hinata as she grabs her boyfriend in her arms.
"Hurry up Hinata! We need to put him to safety." spoke Ino with an apologetic smile.
Hurriedly backing away behind their friends, Ino begin to check Naruto for any injuries while Neji took a fighting stance in front of the girls, protected by Shino, Choji and Sai.
But the Akatsuki didn't take long to counterattacks, so Lee, Shikamaru, Kiba and Kankouro ran at their opponents to keep them busy. At the same time, not too far away, Sakura was trying to push back Madara. As she lands another powerful blow on him, throwing him out of her way, Sasuke jumps on her like a footballer and threw her on her back on the ground.
"Ngh!" growled Sakura as she hits the ground.
"What were you thinking Sakura? Coming over here and acting big? You're nothing." spit the boy.
"What are you doing Sasuke?" asked Sakura in a surprised tone as the boy straddles her.
"I'm about to kill you." replied Sasuke with a wicked look on his face.
"Oh yeah? And what makes you so sure of that?" replied the girl, fed up with his attitude.
"Well, first, I'm straddling you and then, there's no way a weakling like you will win over me."
"Oh and I suppose that's why you're talking and not doing anything?" teased the girl.
Leaning over her body while placing his hands on each side of her waist, Sasuke look at the girl dead in the eyes.
"Hn… Get out of here while you can Sakura, I'm serious…"
"Let me guess Sasuke… You're suddenly having remorse?" added Sakura, not thrusting his sudden mood swing.
"Maybe… Maybe not… I don't care…" babbled Sasuke in incoherent demeanor as he back away, still straddling her.
"Snap out of it Sasuke! He's using you! He will kill us all… You have to come back to us!" tried the girl while holding his right forearm with her right hand.
"I WON'T COME BACK SAKURA! I'd rather die here then join those who killed my family." replied hastily the boy while the sharingan spin.
"Sasuke…" whispered Sakura as she search for his soul through the angry façade.
"…"
"…"
After a few seconds of contemplation between the two, Sakura knew something was off with the young man who was sitting on her. One second he was her enemy and the next he was her friend. As a wicked smile appeared on his face, the girl begin to fear his instability. What would he do next?...
"Now I was hoping to torture you a little, but since you're so hurried to die, I'll give you what you have always been waiting for." replied the young man as he raised his sword.
"You know exactly what I've been waiting for…" spoke the girl sadly while looking away.
"Huh!" gasped Sasuke as he releases his hold on the sword.
Regaining her focus on their fight, Sakura took him by the throat and lift him off of her.
"I'm done playing Sasuke…" whispered the girl as she drags him close.
Too stunned to react, Sasuke who was now on his two feet, thanks to Sakura, let her pull him. As she was inches away from his face, the boy was sure she was going to hit him. But instead of the pain he was awaiting, the girl lands a sweet kiss on his left cheek, leaving a light blush on his cheeks in its wake. Before he could even realize what had happened, Sakura carelessly push him away from her with a powerful swing. She then turned toward Madara's direction and ran toward him. At the same time, Naruto woke up from his sleep and look at the blurred faces that stand in front of him.
"Na-Naruto?"
"Hummm… Hi-Hinata?" asked Naruto not too sure.
"Oh Naruto you're alive!" said the dark haired girl as she took Naruto in her arms and kiss him.
"Woah!" said Naruto with a blush and a stupid smile on his face as he kisses her back.
Realizing her boldness, Hinata hurriedly push back Naruto, while Ino let a genuine smile grace her lips.
"I-I'm glad you-you're o-okay Naruto-to. I-I thought you-you were dead." confessed the girl.
"Oh! Sorry about that Hinata! I didn't mean to… If that stupid Teme wouldn't have tricked me…" replied the blond haired boy, "So what's going on?"
"Well Sakura used a forbidden jutsu to gain chakra to protect you and now she's fighting against the enemy." explained Hinata.
"SAKURA IS WHAT! Man, I have to help her." half yelled Naruto as he got on his two feet.
"Naruto I don't think…" started Ino as she tried to reason him.
"That's okay guys, I can handle myself. Take care of my Hinata while I'm gone!" added the boy while leaving a chaste kiss on his girlfriend's lips and then walking away.
As Sakura was about to get hit by Madara, Sasuke and the now fully awake Kabuto, the girl hit the ground with a lot of chakra, creating a hole of 20 feet deep by 50 feet wide. As the ground crumble under their feet, both Madara, Sasuke, Kabuto, the Akatsuki members, the previous Kages and former jinchurikis as well as Asuma, Dan, Chiyo and the rest of the reincarnated corpses fall in the crevice. Naruto, who was running toward Sakura at that time tried to stop before the ground disappeared from under his feet, but unfortunately for the poor boy, he lost his balance and fell into the hole with a shriek. Once she reaches the ground, Sakura didn't waste any time and did the signs for another mysterious technique of her clan.
"Seki no jutsu, the trap of Haru…" whispered the pink haired girl.
Releasing her hands, a purple chakra begins to form at the tip of her fingers. Sakura then bend down to touch the ground and the powerful chakra immediately spread across the field and then rise from the ground, creating a gigantic dome of purple chakra around the hole she had created. Reacting to the shock wave of Sakura devastating chakra, the rest of the battlefield begin to crumble all around the dome, bringing everything on it down with it. Some minutes later, the ninjas of the Leaf regain their spirits and look at the dome with stupefaction.
"What the hell is this?" said Shikamaru as he stand up.
As he was about to look for others, a running Tsunade and Kakashi pass by him.
"What's going on?" asked Choji.
"I don't know, but it has something to do with that dome. Let's check it out too."
Catching up with the Hokages that were standing in front of the violet dome, the two young men look at the scene in front of them. Sakura was standing in the middle of the field, were the enemy was trying to get up from the pieces of crumple ground. At the same time Kankouro, Temari, Gaara, Sai, Ino, Hinata, Neji, Shino, Lee, Tenten and Kiba joined them to look at what was happening behind the dome.
"I think she did this to prevent anyone from getting in and out." said Gaara as he knocks on the purple wall.
"What is she planning to do?" asked Ino as she puts her hands on the dome.
"I don't know…"
.
On Sakura's side
.
Sakura knew that when she would use the ultimate power jutsu, everything would be settled for her plan and that it would be the last time she would see her friends. She knew they would be mad at her for that when they would see the last part of this plan, but she didn't have any choice. It was her, or them. The choice was clear. But no matter what she tried to convince herself with, she couldn't do this without remorse. They were there, looking at her so innocently, thinking that she had a plan that would save them all and they could go home happily after that. But it wouldn't end like that, it would never be like that for her as long as she breaths, as long as he walks with the enemy. It was better like that and she would do something good for them.
'Let's do this…' thought sadly the girl.
.
On the allies' side
.
The confusion and curiosity were gnawing the ninjas. "What was going on? What was she planning?" were questions that kept on crossing their minds. But nothing was troubling them more than the looks on Sakura's face, especially for the blond haired girl.
'Why are you looking at me like that Sakura… I never saw that look on your face before.' thought worriedly Ino as she looks at her pink haired friend.
As suddenly as she had look at them, Sakura turned her head around and close her eyes. Slowly, the girl took her shirt off and carelessly throws it away, leaving her in her black camisole. But as soon as she did it, everyone knew what she was planning to do. All around her torso there was tons and tons of miniature explosive tags. Without any doubts, she was about to do another version of her Blizzard technique.
"SAKURA! DON'T DO THAT!" yelled Kakashi as he hit the dome with his fists, "SAKURA!"
He knew what she was going to do, he understands why, but deep down, he couldn't let her do that. Letting a single tear slide down his cheek, the grey haired man allowed his head to fall on the purple wall. He was going to lose another important person… Again… "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, I'LL PIERCE THIS STUPID WALL!" yelled back Tsunade as she hit the dome with one of her most powerful hit.
Unfortunately for her, nothing happened, except the sound of her hit that reverberates in the dome. The wall moved like water, as if someone had thrown a rock in a puddle of water, but nothing else.
"No…" said Tsunade in disbelief and sadness.
"It won't work like that…" whispered Shikamaru in acceptance.
Not too far away from them, Ino, who couldn't take the scene anymore, turn around from the dome and bursts into tears in the arms of Kiba.
"God dammit, she's going to blow us all away!" said Kabuto in panic.
"Even if it's an unsophisticated style, I have to admit that she's one heck of an artist!" spoke Deidera with admiration.
"Do you ever shut up?" asked Sasori, annoyed to no end.
"Ha, Sakura… Always full of surprises…" whispered Asuma with a sincere smile on his face.
Finally ready, Sakura took the knife with the ignition lock and begin her movement to let the final explosion take them all to the world of the dead, when a voice stops her.
"Don't worry Sakura, I'm here with you. You're not alone, we're going to give them one heck of a lesson."
Not believing what she was hearing, the pink haired girl's eyes grew big and slowly, she turned her head to her right to meet a pair of happy and confident azure eyes.
"Na-Na… Naruto?" asked incredulously the girl with eyes as big as plates.
"Yes?" answered the blond haired boy still smiling.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU IDIOT!" started yelling in anger the pink haired girl as she shakes and hits the poor boy, "You should be on the other side of the barrier!"
"Wha-ha-t-t ar-ar-are yooouuu tal-talk-talk-ing a-a-abou-t-t Sak-Sak-ura?" asked Naruto in panic.
"No one can get in or out of this barrier and my plan was to get them all in and blown them away so that the war would be over you moron. But now that you're in, I CAN'T! YOU RUIN THE PLAN!" explained Sakura with anger.
Letting her speech sink into his mind, Naruto, finally understanding the plan, sweat drops.
"Ha, ha! Ooh! … Sorry?" asked sheepishly the boy with a stupid smile on his face.
'This guy is a complete idiot…' thought desperately Shikamaru as he hits his head against the barrier.
"Naruto…" whispered Asuma as he holds his forehead in exasperation.
"NARUTO YOU ARE AN IDIOT!" yelled Kiba.
"This young lad sure haven't changed…" added the old Chiyo in her corner.
"Naruto sure knows how to destroy a good plan…" whispered Hinata to herself, "But I'm glad he did it for Sakura."
Taking a second to breathe and unsatisfied with his answer, Sakura took Naruto by his shirt ready to beat him to bloody pulp.
"Oh yeah, you'll be so sorry when I'm done with you…" threaten the girl.
"Well, take it the good way Sakura! At least you won't die for the sake of this world." replied Naruto as he grabs her arms, trying to run away.
"Cough! Cough!"
Stopping everything they were doing, the two teenagers looked at the source of the sound with surprise. Madara and all of the enemies were now on their feet and looking at them with a murderous aura. The enemy outnumbered them and since Sakura couldn't use her plan anymore, thanks to Naruto, she knew what it meant. They were in trouble.
"When you're done talking maybe we could get back to serious business…" said Madara as he cracked his neck.
Silence…
"OH, SHOOT!" both Sakura and Naruto replied as the enemies ran at them.
