The Sacred Cousins

Sasuke glares at him before asking, "Can you tell me about my brother?", a pitiful look on his face. Deidara smirks & replies, "He's a prick who thinks he can do whatever he wants. Honestly, you'd probably know him better than anybody. Enough talk, time to...", he stops when he sees a shadow falling.

Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher!

As Deidara looks up, a massive rush of wind blasts him, forcing him down to the ground. "Sasuke, are you alright? I mean, you're trapped in mud.", Tsachi asks with a bit of a relieved smirk. Sasuke uses lightning chakra to break the mud & starts to dust it off as he answers, "Yeah, I just wanted to know what he had to say about my brother.". Tsachi looks at Sasuke, a small smile on his face before turning to Deidara. "So we can't kill him just yet.", Tsachi states forcefully.

Deidara flips to his feet & replies, "You won't kill me at all! I'll be the one that kills you!". Tsachi activates his Byakugan, the blue irises of his eyes fading away into pools of glazed white. "So, now I'm going against an Uchiha & a Hyuga? Even better, just another group who thinks their genetics makes them better!". Tsachi whispers to his cousin, "let's take this guy down a peg. you know what to do.", Sasuke smiles & states, "You'll set him up....", & Tsachi completes the sentence, "& you'll knock him down!". They each charge at Deidara, who leaps into the trees, trying to escape & come up with a plan. He knows he can't take on both of them, he was barely successful against the Uchiha.

As Deidara leaps through the trees, Sasuke & Tsachi follow behind him, he struggles to think of anything helpful. Suddenly, it comes to him & he turns to the right, heading back to where he left from, dodging the attacks of the Leaf shinobi as they hurl kunai & chakra senbon. Deidara finds where he hid Gaara's body & holds him up, using him as a human shield while grinning wickedly. Tsachi sees him first & gasps, pointing to the Akatsuki member so Sasuke sees him, both of them looking at him in shock & disgust. "Go ahead, attack me now you cocky Leaf bastards. I dare you! DO IT!", he yells at them, begging them to attack.

Sacred Lightning Art: Static Shot!

Sasuke fires the bolt of chakra, but it misses as Tsachi pushes his cousin's arms just in time. Deidara looks at the crater left in the ground, surprised at the amount of damage it did & relieved that it missed him. Sasuke gives his cousin a hateful glance, but Tsachi replies, "The less damage that's done to his body the easier it'll be to help him. He still has a chance Sasuke.". Deidara smiles, picking the body up & running with it, holding it behind him. Sasuke runs after him, noticing Tsachi not coming with him. He would argue, but there isn't time.

Finally, they're back in the field where Deidara landed, the massive crater still smoking slightly. Deidara stops inside it, turning to face Sasuke. "Well, looks like the Hyuga chickened out. That's fine, you're the one I really want anyway.", Deidara says in a snide tone. Sasuke starts to move but the blonde haired shinobi states, "I wouldn't. You get too close, you might not have a body to take back to the Sand.". Sasuke stops in his tracks, glaring at the Akatsuki member. "Good, now....", Deidara starts before he feels a hand grab his foot.

Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!

Deidara gets dragged down into the ground, Tsachi popping up behind him a moment later in his Sacred Silver Armor. He tosses Gaara's limp body out of the crater & yells, "NOW SASUKE!". Sasuke starts running around the crater, lightning chakra blazing behind him as he becomes a blur. The ground around Deidara & Tsachi starts to grow dense as the shinobi with the tri-colored hair focuses his chakra. Deidara tries to escape, but he can't move anything, not even his hands. "You have one last chance to talk, before you die.", Tsachi states menacingly. Deidara sees the bright lightning chakra encircling him, feels the ground growing denser, yet he spits & replies, "Fuck you Hyuga. Just kill me.". Tsachi shakes his head in disappointment & leaps into the air, Sasuke following suit.

SACRED ART: LIGHTNING QUAKE JUTSU!

Their chakra molded together, almost repelling against each other as they rush toward the ground. Their jutsu hits with tremendous, devastating force; sending a massive earthquake throughout the forest & lightning into the sky. Animals scattered, flying or running away out of fear even after the force of the attack dissipated. Sasuke & Tsachi stand in the crater, now even larger, the ground still trembling below their feet. The dust starts to settle, the smoke begins to clear, & they see just how much damage was done. Sasuke starts to heave, when Tsachi covers his eyes & states, "It'll be alright cousin. Let's just get out of here, things will be fine.".

They get to Gaara's body, & they look down at him. Sasuke looks at his cousin & asks, "What's the plan now Tsachi? You said you could help him, right?". Tsachi nods & replies, "Yeah, I can. Just know that if I collapse or something happens, I love you Sasuke.". As Tsachi's Byakugan disappears, his Rinnegan is activated & Sasuke inquires, "What would happen? You aren't going to do that Samsara of Sacred Life jutsu are you? You were unconscious for almost a whole day after that Tsachi! You could....", the elder of the 2 shushes his cousin to interrupt him & responds, "There's no other choice. If Gaara dies, it would mean chaos for the Sand & probably for the Leaf as well. As for what could happen, lots of things could happen. Nothing might happen, I might be out for awhile. Something worse, but if we take Gaara back to his home dead, it does no good for anybody.". Sasuke's eyes revert back to their onyx color as he cries, giving his cousin a hug he says, "I love you too Tsachi. Please, please be ok.".

They both know it has to be done, & so it will be.

Outer Path: Samsara of Sacred Life

Tsachi's body starts to turn purple, seemingly engulfed by a shadow of some kind. Tsachi's hair starts to thin, his skin starts to wrinkle as energy is pumped into Gaara. Sasuke looks on, worried, as he notices what happens to Tsachi when he uses this jutsu. Finally, everything starts to fade away & Tsachi collapses onto Gaara, Sasuke standing there in silence.
