The Third Jutsu: Phoenix Flame Revival!
"Ino, you are such an idiot. Things could've been much worse.", Sakura tells Ino sternly as they stand at their campsite that afternoon. They didn't move an inch, Tsachi wasn't able to move. Sakura says he's still alive, but the others aren't so sure. The only person who believes her at this point is Naruto, & as upsetting as that is to her, it's better than nothing. Sasuke's been inconsoable, thinking he's lost the only real family he has left, Ino feels guilty for causing it & it isn't helping that Sakura is reminding her. The others just look at his cold body & lifeless eyes & assume the usual. The pink haired kunoichi goes back to her Healing Palm Jutsu, hoping it'll work somehow.
After awhile though, she stops trying & just sits over what they all just considered a strange rogue ninja. It's odd how much he started to matter after only a couple of years. As they all sit around him, Naruto asks, "I get that Tsachi & Sasuke are cousins, but I don't get why everyone is like this. How the hell does everybody else here know him but me?!". Sasuke punches Naruto & screams, "YOU DON'T GET IT, DO YOU DUMBASS?! EVEN AFTER HE SUFFERED FOR YOU, YOU STILL DON'T GET IT?!". Naruto scratches his head & shakes it slowly, Sasuke goes to punch him again when Sakura says, "Sasuke, don't. Naruto, when you were gone with Jiraiya, Tsachi took your place. He became the 4th member of our team, & he probably saved our lives more times than we'll ever realize. He gave, & he hasn't stopped giving for the Leaf, for the people that live there, for all of us here. Even now during this mission, he didn't stop giving, for each of us.", Sasuke glares down at Naruto & adds, "He sacrificed to protect us & make sure we weren't exhausting ourselves like he's been. All these jutsus he's teaching, plus traveling, plus a lack of sleep & you look at us & ask why he matters? HE MATTERS BECAUSE HE CARES FOR US, and because we care about him.".
Tsachi sits up & groans, "Uhhhh, mmmm. Stop fighting, it isn't productive. You should be practic......", he gets cut off as Sakura jumps on him in excitement, followed by Ino, & then after Sasuke looks at them, he decides to join the fray. After a moment, Tsachi tries to get up & Sakura stops him, "No, don't even try it. Ino-pig's jutsu caused some major damage, & whatever you did weakened you. You need to rest, I'm serious Tsachi.". Tsachi smiles softly & inquires, "How is Ino anyway?". Sakura rolls her eyes & scoffs as she walks off. Ino slides over slowly & answers, "I'm fine Tsachi-sensei, are you though, & how did you....", Tsachi puts his hand over Ino's mouth & with his free hand motions Sakura to come over. "First, Ino you need to be more careful with that jutsu. You died in the explosion.", he states, causing everyone to look over at him. "But...but how am I....", Ino starts to ask before Tsachi interjects, "That, was thanks to a special jutsu, known as The Outer Path: Samsara of Sacred Life. See, I know you've heard of the Byakugan, & the Sharingan, but I....", Naruto exclaims loudly, "I KNEW IT! YOU'VE GOT A 3RD 1 DON'TCHA!?".
Everyone except Tsachi glares at Naruto angrily, causing him to settle down immediately. Tsachi continues, "Yes Naruto is right, I do in fact hold another Kekkai Genkai, known as the Rinnegan. It lends me a copy ability, much like the Sharingan, but isn't limited by the chakra nature of the user, at least I think. The knowledge of this dojutsu isn't very reliable. As for personal experience, it allows me to split myself into 6 different bodies, but it also splits my abilities & chakra so I try to avoid it. I can see chakra as well, but it's greatest power is the control of life & death. I can kill a person with just a glance, I can even revive them if I want. It uses a lot of my chakra though, so using it isn't wise. That is why I've been out like I was, for the most part. I'll be fine, after I teach you your jutsu Sakura.".
"No, you need...", Sakura urges but Tsachi ignores her, stands up slowly & unfurls a scroll. "You might want to stand back.", he states before putting his hands together.
Sacred Fire Art: Phoenix Flame Revival
Tsachi's body begins glowing bright blue with chakra, then it turns red. After a moment he is set ablaze by his own chakra, causing the others to freak out, panic & try to find a way to extinguish him. As Naruto runs with a bucket of water, Tsachi's body turns to ash. Naruto quickly flings the water at Tsachi, but what was his body collapses, & the water hits Sakura instead. Normally this would upset her, but seeing as how a human being just set themself on fire & got cremated, it didn't bother her as much. What did just happen though caused her & most of the others to scream at the top of their lungs, or so they thought, until the ash started to swirl & form back together. "Gggggg-GHOST!", Naruto exclaims & screams louder, the others soon following suit.
After a moment of non-stop screaming, the ashes form together & gain color, Tsachi is standing in front of them, good as new. "What the...calm down, stop screaming, I'm ok. Didn't you guys get the point of the jutsu?!", he says while covering his ears in an attempt to block out the screams. They all stop screaming & a slightly hoarse Sakura responds, "Ohhhh, I get it. It's like a phoenix rising out of its ashes. So it's a healing jutsu then?", Tsachi cautiously uncovers his ears & nods. Sakura grabs the scroll & walks off, "I'll start practicing then.", she states plainly, thinking to herself, "Of course I get the healing jutsu. Naruto gets some cool shield & stupid Ino gets to make explosions. What do I get? Healing, like I don't have enough of that already.".
