Chapter 21: Bone Dance
"I guess it's my turn."- Hono said, looking at the gray haired sound nin as he stopped in the middle of a grassy field, leaving the barrel on the ground and looking at the jinchuuriki.
"Do you really care about him this much?"- Kimimaro asked.- "I deduce that you left your teammates to fight Jiroubo, Kidomaru, Sakon and Tayuya. You've sacrificed at least four people. Is Sasuke worth all of their lives?"
"I don't give a crap about the Uchiha guy. I've made a promise and I'll keep it. Besides, I've got some interest in you, Kaguya."- Hono replied, unsheating his machetes. A white sword's blade apepared out of Kimimaro's right long sleeve.
"What do you know about the Kaguya?"- he asked, getting angry. Hono smirked and they started walking in a long circle.
"They were a semi-powerful clan that ended up being decimated in Kirigakure, trying to take over with a pitiful attack. Some of the members of this clan had an unique bloodline that let them control the calcium in their bodies with chakra, allowing them to expell bones from their body and fight with them before making new ones. Their bones were as hard as diamond."- they started closing in on each other.- "You're the last one alive."
"So?"- he asked, raising an eyebrow. Hono grinned.
"You have the bloodline, I can see the sword."- Kimimaro immediately ran to cut him. Time stopped as Hono simply walked until he was behind the sound nin before time went back to normal. In his enemy's eyes, it was as if Hono vanished.- "I have a bloodline as well."
"Uh?"- Kimimaro turned around to see Hono with his Akumanogan activated.- "The Akumanogan. Lord Orochimaru once told me about it. He said that his ideal container should have it. I can simply take you to him instead of the Uchiha."
"You can try."- Hono answered. Kimimaro got into a fighting stance. Hono followed, grinning.
"The Akumanogan can freeze time? It's fine, I just have to tire you out."
"It doesn't just freeze time."- Hono replied, performing the Tora handseal. His eyes changed as the yin yang Akumanogan gained a third tomoe, a red on. A blood tear came out of the eyes before they turned back to the normal black. Kimimaro seemed unnafected.
"Did that do anything?"- he asked, walking in a circle again. Hono smirked.
"The Akumanogan can also see through and copy Kekkei Genkai, giving me unique powers for the rest of my life. I won't be able to use this doujutsu for a week."- Hono explained before extending his arm and hand.- "But for this, it's worth it."
"What the?"- Kimimaro was shocked as bullets made of bone shot out of Hono's fingers. It took all of the sound nin's reflexes to block the bullets with his sword. By the time he was done, Hono was already inches away from him, bones coming out of his arm and forming a small spear. Kimimaro sweeped him and was about to stomp his head when a kick came out of nowhere, hitting him and making him stagger back. Between Kimimaro and Hono, was the Green Beast of Konoha, Rock Lee.
"Lee? I thought you were injured."- Hono said, standing up.- "You shouldn't be here."
"Not anymore. And I thought you needed some help, especially since Sasuke is running away right now."- Lee replied. Hono turned his head to see that the barrel was opened and Sasuke was running away. Hono quickly turned around but stopped, remembering something. He threw Lee a scroll.-"What's this?"
"If you need help, open it!"- was all Hono said before biting his thumb, drawing a line across his hand and bashing it on the floor.- "Kuchyiose no jutsu!"
"Nice!"- Lee commented, giving Hono a thumbs up as he appeared on the back of a red chinese style dragon who was at least 8 meters long. One quick word mate the dragon fly forward, chasing the escaping Uchiha.
"Keegan, full speed!"- Hono proclaimed and the dragon shot forward. They chased Sasuke down for some minutes, ending up going through a cave before appearing at a waterfall that had two statues beside it. One of Hashirama Senju and one of Uchiha Madara, both performing a hand sign.
"Finally, you arrived."
