Chapter 512: 477. Jinchurikis in Danger
Swish… swish… swish…
Suddenly, several black rods fly toward Naruto from his blind spot.
Whoosh…
Naruto senses a murderous intention aimed at his back. He immediately dodges and avoids the fatal attack.
Clang…
Naruto deflects a black receiver rod with a kunai and grabs it. He stabs the rod in his hand and senses Nagato's location.
"Found you!"
Naruto glances in a certain direction. He infuses chakra into his kunai and throws it.
Swish… Boom…
The kunai pierces through several trees and finally stabs into a boulder.
Nagato's camouflage breaks after the attack. He tilts his head and barely avoids the attack.
Whoosh…
The next second, Naruto arrives in front of Nagato.
"Found you!" He confronts Nagato.
"Nagato!" Naruto takes a combat stance.
"Sigh… So, it finally came to this!" Nagato sighs as he stares at Naruto's new form.
"I never imagined that I'd be forced into fighting you again, Naruto! It's probably been a while since we last met. But since I have been dead, it feels like it's been only a moment. You have changed a bit, Naruto." Nagato activates his Rinnegan and glances at the chakra cloak around Naruto.
"You are much stronger than before." He adds.
"Oh, you mean this?" Naruto stares at the Nine-tails chakra mode around his body.
"I'm in complete control of the Nine-tails chakra now. This is my new chakra mode!"
"I see… No wonder you look so different." Nagato nods at him.
"Looks like you were able to overcome your pain, suffering, and hatred"
"Yeah, it was all thanks to my friends and family. Pervy-Sage, he will be sad to see you like this." Naruto shakes his head.
"Sigh… Jiraiya Sensei! I…" Nagato shakes his head and turns silent for a while.
"Konan, Is she…"
"Konan-san is alright! She is serving as a warden in an orphanage."
"I… I see… I am relieved to hear that." Nagato heaves a sigh of relief.
--------------------
On the other side of the battlefield,
"Weee…" Bee hops from tree to tree through a forest.
Swoosh… Whoosh…
Another figure flickers beside him and joins him.
"Bee-sama, I finally caught up with you. The headquarters ordered me to come. I'm supposed to assist you."
"Thank you, Motoi Brother!" Bee shakes hands with Motoi.
Whoosh…
Both of them flicker through the forest and march toward Raikage's location.
"WAIT!"
Suddenly, Bee leaps down from the tree and hides behind a giant boulder.
"Don't come!" He warns Motoi and disappears into the bushes.
Motoi takes out a kunai and warily stares at his surroundings.
'Strange! Why can't I sense any enemy chakra in the vicinity? How come Bee-sama sensed the location of the enemy?" Motoi questions himself.
Motoi recalls the strange nature of Zetsu's chakra.
'Perhaps it's related to their strange nature.' He shrugs off his shoulder and patiently awaits Bee's arrival.
Five minutes later,
Hmm…
Motoi frowns as Bee has yet to return.
"Should I join Bee-sama as well? He has yet to come back." Motoi hesitates.
"No, the headquarters ordered me to follow Bee-sama's instructions. I will wait for him here!"
Another ten minutes later,
Motoi gulps his saliva and glances in Bee's direction.
"Bee-sama has yet to come back. I can't wait any longer." He takes a step forward.
Rustle… rustle…
Suddenly, the bush in front of him rustles and an upside-down face sneaks out of it.
"WEEEEE…."
AHHH…
Motoi screams in horror and jumps back.
"Bee-sama… Bee-sama… he… he…" He screams these words and dashes in the opposite direction.
"Huh!" Bee tilts his head in confusion.
"Fool, ya Fool! What just happened to that fool? He lost his cool!"
"Bee, let's chase after him." Gyuki's voice echoes in Bee's ears.
"Weee… Here I go!"
Whoosh…
Bee flickers towards Motoi and soon he appears on a plain.
"Brother Motoi, wait!"
Bee waves his hand at Motoi.
"Ah!" Motoi is stunned to see Bee and quickly dashes toward him.
"Bee-sama, you are alive!" He grabs Bee's hands and shakes them with joy.
"Of course, I am! I just did a quickie!" Bee raises his little finger.
"AH!"
Motoi's face freezes as he feels a wet sensation in his hand.
Sniff… sniff…
He sniffs his hand and smells a foul odor.
'You sure took a long one for a quickie!" Gyuki chides Bee.
"Your brother might be in trouble!"
"I couldn't hold it any longer and you are about to lose your composure. But now, I'm feeling good and dandy. So don't worry and be happy."
Bee takes out a paper towel from his pocket. He wipes his hands on the towel, rolls it, and throws it away.
"Instead of wasting time on your silly rap, let's help your brother," Gyuki scolds Bee.
"I am sorry, but you don't have to worry. As for my brother, he should be fine without my help. Yo!"
"Bee-sama, this…"
Motoi stares at his wet hand in bewilderment.
"I went pissin' since the enemy was missin'."
"Pissin', huh!" Motoi wipes his hands with a paper towel and chases after Bee.
"Hey wait, Bee! You almost gave me a heart attack with that jump scare. I thought you were dead for a second!"
"Don't sweat the small stuff. Also, things are about to get rough!"
Suddenly, Bee's expression turns serious. He pauses in his footsteps and glances at the ground in front of him.
---------------------
In a hidden underground cavern,
Hiss…
A white snake hisses behind Kabuto's back. Kabuto gently pats the snake's head and glances at the various shogi pieces on the ground.
"With my previous failure, Tobi asked me to leave them alone. However, now both Naruto and Bee are approaching the battlefield." Kabuto takes out a scroll and a pouch from his pocket.
"However, this is such a perfect opportunity to capture them."
Kabuto makes a series of hand signs and wipes blood on the scroll from two vials.
"Kuku… I wonder what expression will he make under that mask when he comes to know that the eight-tails and nine-tails are already in my grasp?" Kabuto breaks out in a peal of hysterical laughter.
"Obito, do you really think I don't know your intentions? You planned to use me and so, do I? And so far, everything is according to my plan… Kuku…" Kabuto turns his attention toward the shogi board.
"So, now let me pick the perfect reanimation for you both, Naruto and Bee!"
Kabuto smears the blood on the scroll and a giant fuinjutsu formation appears on the ground.
-----------------------
Back on the battlefield,
Rumble… Rumble…
The ground in front of Bee and Motoi trembles and a coffin erupts from the ground.
Guah… aaah… Huaah…
A group of Zetsu soldiers are pushed out of the ground by the wooden coffin.
"W-What was all that about?!"
The group of Zetsu soldiers stands up and stares at the wooden coffin.
"No way is that… ?!"
The door of the coffin slams down on the ground, and a figure walks out of it.
A figure with bi-color hair of green and white walks out of the coffin. The figure has heavy-lidded eyes and a diamond-shaped mark around his right eye.
Bee, Motoi, and Gyuki's mouths open wide in surprise.
"You… you're the former eight-tails Jinchuriki, Fukai-san, also known by his moniker Blue B."
"Huh!" Blue B opens his eyes and glances around. He raises his head and stares at Bee and Motoi.
"It has been a while, Bee! And you are… Motoi?! Looking at your current appearances looks like someone performed Edo-Tensei on me. Is it Orochimaru?" Blue B asks them.
"Fukai-san… That day, thirty years ago… Yes, the day you died. We tried to stop the eight-tails rampage and eight shinobis lost their lives. My dad was among them." Fukai grits his teeth.
"I see." Blue B closes his eyes.
"I am so sorry!" He sighs helplessly.
"But I know that apologies won't bring him back."
"Yes, he's Blue B. There is no doubt about it. But why? No matter how hard I try, I don't remember a lot about that rampage…" Gyuki glances at Blue B and attempts to recall some past memories.
"Bee, this chakra I sense from you…" Blue B raises his head and stares into Bee's eyes.
"I see, so you became a Jinchuriki."
"Kuku… the time for a joyous reunion is over!"
Kabuto claps his hands.
Shoom…
A chakra pulse flashes past Blue B's body.
"Bee, I can't control myself. So, run!"
"If the eight-tails is inside you no more, you can't fight life before." Bee crosses his arms in front of his chest.
"You're wrong!!" Blue B warns them.
"Now, Blue B!" Kabuto makes a ram hand seal.
"Why don't you show them how serious you are?"
Burble… burble…
Red chakra bubbles pop out of Blue B's body as he enters the first transformation.
"Impossible! This chakra!" Gyuki's eyes widen in shock.
"Bee, Motoi! Get away!" Blue B riles up his chakra and enters into the second transformation of the tailed-beast mode.
Eight-tails appear behind his back and a giant column of chakra rises in the air.
Chapter 513: 478. Trauma From Past
In a secret underground Akatsuki hideout,
Fwoosh…
A white Zetsu clone pops out of the ground. The clone appears beside Tobi, who is observing the situation on the battlefield with the various sentries the Zetsu army placed on the battlefield.
"Looks like the Eight-tails and Nine-tails have appeared."
"Hmm… so the eight-tails and nine-tails are out from their rathole."
"Should we capture them as quickly as possible? Though Kabuto is also fighting against them both with his Edo Soldiers." Zetsu questions.
"No… first we would secure the substitute just in case something unprecedented happens. The initiation of Project Tsukuyomi is of utmost importance. Once Project Tsukuyomi succeeds, it's all over."
"So, you are about to make your move?"
"It's finally time for me to join the battle." Tobi tightens the gloves on his hand.
"But first, we will steal the substitute."
"Very well! I will relay your message to Black Zetsu. He is currently busy searching for the whereabouts of the Feudal Lords."
Back at the coastal battlefield,
After sealing the gold and the silver brothers, Izumi hands over the Treasured tools of the Sage of Six Paths to another captain of the Kumogakure.
However, before the group could celebrate their victory, there are attacked by another wave of the Zetsu army.
"ENEMY ATTACKK!!"
The sensors receive a message from the headquarters. They quickly warn the rest of the army.
Soon, another round of heated battle starts against the Zetsu army.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Dina and Kisame, the former members of Akatsuki, appear on a small hill and stare at the group of shinobis from various nations.
"Another war, huh?" Dina licks his lips.
"So much blood to shed and so much carbon to absorb."
"So Tobi finally made his move." Kisame stares at the numerous Zetsu on the battlefield.
"I didn't expect Zetsu to possess a cloning ability. Looks like I underestimated him." Kisame shakes his head.
"Huh, you are also dead!" Dina stares at Kisame in surprise.
"Kuku… it doesn't matter. Even though I am not happy to revive like this, I will still enjoy dissecting these blood bags into pieces and absorbing the carbon from their body." Dina stares at the shinobi of the allied shinobi force like a hungry wolf.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
Both of them flicker amongst the allied shinobi force.
Bang…
Dina morphs his hand into a giant carbon blade.
Slash… slash…
He slashes the giant blade around and split multiple shinobis into half.
Splurt…
The blood and innards of the dead shinobis splatter on the battlefield.
AAHHH…
The surrounding shinobis yell in terror and heedlessly dash around.
Slick…
Dina licks the blood on his carbon blade and slowly walks towards the allied shinobi force.
A black gooey substance flows out of the dead bodies of the shinobis and enters Dina's body.
"Aaah… this sensation. It's been a while since I felt like this." Dina relishes the feeling of absorbing carbon from his enemies.
Kisame ignores him and chooses another direction.
He grabs the neck of a Kumo shinobi charging towards him with a giant blade.
Snap…
He snaps the shinobis' neck in half and grabs his giant blade.
"Hmm… not up to my liking. But this will do it for now." He flips the blade in his hand and stares at the rest of the shinobis.
"Attack!"
The captain of the squad signals his subordinates to attack in a formation.
Swish… swish…
The shinobi launches several kunais with explosive tags toward him and makes a series of hand signs.
"Fire Release: Explosive Flame Formation,"
BOOM…
A giant pillar of flame engulfs Kisame and scorches the nearby ground. The combined might of the group's jutsu is comparable to an A-Rank jutsu.
Burble… Burble…
Kisame slowly walks out of the fire pulse with an armor of water around his body.
Splash…
The water splashes on the ground and Kisame is unscathed by the previous attack.
"Looks like your superiors didn't tell you anything about me."
Kisame smiles to reveal his shark-like teeth.
Clap…
He makes a series of hand signs and claps his hands.
"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave,"
Kisame spews out a giant amount of water from his mouth. The water from his jutsu combines with the water of the ocean and turns into a gigantic Tsunami that engulfs the entire area in front of him.
The giant wave of the Tsunami drowns several shinobis and continues to travel forward.
Whoosh…
Haku jumps in front of the giant water wave and makes a series of hand signs.
"Ice Release: Domain of Absolute Zero,"
Haku slams his hand on the surface of the water and freezes the entire wave of water traveling toward him.
Whoosh…
Zabuza also flickers beside him and stares at Kisame.
"Huh… A Yuki clan shinobi! Didn't expect them to still hang around?" Kisame is surprised to see Haku on the battlefield.
Hmm…
He turns towards Zabuza and instantly recognizes the latter.
"Looks like you are still alive and kicking!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect to be the last living member of the Seven Mist Swordsman of my generation." Zabuza warily wields his executioner's blade.
"Not for long! After I deal with you, your blade will be the perfect substitute for my Samehada."
Kisame cracks his neck.
Gulp…
Zabuza gulps his saliva as a bead of sweat trickles down his forehead. He tightly grips the executioner's blade.
'This guy is bad news. He is the absolute strongest of Seven Mist Swordsman among us all.'
"Zabuza!"
Haku pats Zabuza's shoulder.
"You aren't alone. We will fight together!"
"Yes, I am not alone!"
Zabuza's tense nerves relax slightly, and he slung the giant blade on his shoulder.
"I will be the vanguard and you will support me from the back line!"
"Mm… be careful!" Haku nods and claps his hands.
Shiing… shiing… shiing…
Several ice crystals float beside him, ready to be deployed at any moment.
On the other side of the battlefield,
Dina continues to rampage on the battlefield and creates a blood bath. Streams of blood flow around him as a huge pile of disfigured and dismantles corpses lines up beside him.
Slick…
Dina licks his lips and savors the feeling of slaughter and carbon pumping up his adrenaline.
"Mmm… this is the feeling!"
Izumi, who has just exchanged the treasured tools with the Kumo captain, turns her attention toward the army and spots Dina on the battlefield.
"YOUU!!"
An old memory of her childhood surfaces as she recalls the bloody hands of Dina slaughtering her grandmother.
"GRANDMA!"
Izumi cries in agony and her eyes convert to Mangekyo Sharingan. Blood leaks from Izumi's eyes as four pairs of giant arms appear behind her. The arms wield a spear, sword, bow, and shield.
Izumi's figure disappears in a blink as she charges toward Dina in a bloody rage.
The arm with the bow nocks down a chakra arrow. She aims the arrow toward Dina.
BOOM…
The arrow releases a sonic boom and appears beside Dina in an instant.
"Huh!"
Dina senses the threat from the arrow.
"Carbon Control: Black Diamond shield,"
Dina raises his hand and a giant black translucent shield wraps around his body.
BANG…
The arrow slams into the black carbon shield and a pillar of dust rises at the point of impact.
Fwoosh…
A figure is sent flying outside the dust cloud and slams through the ground, creating a small ravine on its way.
Cough… cough…
Dina coughs slightly and slowly stands up.
"Aww… that hurts!"
He stares at the several cracks on his black carbon shield.
"What a strong attack! Even though I absorbed carbon from so many bodies, it still managed to shatter my defenses. Also, this recoil!"
Several ash particles fly around his body and regenerate him to his peak condition.
Hmm…
Dino narrows his eyes and stares at his attacker slowly approaches him.
"Hmm… you are…"
Dino raps his head and attempts to recall Izumi's familiar face. After a few seconds,
"Aaah… I remember now. You are that fragile little doll from back then. I didn't expect you to grow to such a degree. Guess it has been a long while since I died. But to me, it all feels like a moment ago." Dino grits his teeth and his expression distorts in fury.
"That bastard! I still remember the humiliation he made me suffer. I will payback him in full. But before that…"
Dino turns towards Izumi with a malicious gaze.
"I will savor the taste of prey I missed back then."
"You won't get that opportunity!" Izumi's cold voice pierces Dino's ears as she nocks another arrow on her bow.
