Chapter 138: Chapter 138 - Comes The Night
Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji are still stunned by what happened, but Hokuto didn't care, and once again used Sonido to appear behind Ino and Shikamaru, but he is once again blocked by the joint effort of Jugo and Kitsuchi, and soon also Zabuza and Asuma came, and while Zabuza quickly joined the fight, relieving a little the pressure on Jugo and Kitsuchi, Asuma instead screamed "Shikamaru! Ino! Choji! Get yourselves together! This isn't the time for this!" then he too joined the fight against Hokuto.
Shimakaru and Ino then quickly moved closer to Choji who was on his knees mumbling "Why... Why is this happening!?" and both tried to rouse him up, but nothing seemed to work, meanwhile, the fight against Hokuto is getting harder and harder, different from Nanto his fighting style doesn't have much finesse nor does he uses many techniques, but he makes up for it with his pure power and dreadful regeneration, in fact, Zabuza and Asuma were able to cut off and destroy the limbs of Hokuto many times, but they grew back in few seconds.
Just as the fight was taking a turn for the worse, Choji hears his father yelling "Don't get soft on me, Choji!!! *cough*cough You're a 16th generation Akimichi act like it!" and at that moment, Choji remembered all the things his father taught him, he stood up and says "I'm sorry Shikamaru, Ino... I'll be okay now..." then Choji started converting the calories of his body into densely concentrated Chakra, quickly slimming down "I've got this!!" the Chakra then leaks from his backbone, it becomes visible through friction with the shoulder blade, taking the appearance of butterfly wings.
Choji then jumps high in the sky and uses the Baika no Jutsu(Multi-Size Technique), he focuses the chakra from the wings into his fist, while Shikamaru uses the Kagemane no Jutsu(Shadow Imitation Technique) to briefly stall Hokuto and permit the others to retreat after that Choji falls down hitting Hokuto with the Chōdan Bakugeki (Butterfly Bullet Bombing) creating a big crater and pinning Hokuto into the ground, then he screamed "Darui-san now!!!".
Darui who was waiting for this moment quickly uses the Sealing Jar by opening its top and sending it his Chakra, while at the same time pointing in Hokuto's direction, and the next instant Hokuto is fully absorbed by the jar that automatically closes itself and turns slightly red in color, seeing that Darui release a sigh of relief and says "We finally did it...".
At the same time, Kitsuchi doesn't stop and says "Team from 6 to 10 will replace the casualties, the others follow me!", meanwhile, Choji ran back to his father's side who looked at him with a smile and says "Good job Choji... I'm proud of the ninja you've become..." then he closes his eyes for the last times.
Then the butterfly wings on his back grew in size almost covering about 100 meters of the battlefield, and with tears in his eyes he says "I'm ending this battle now! Shikamaru, Ino, I need your help!!".
Back to Kankuro, he just threw a volley of poisonous smoke bombs at the Menos, then he yells "Now!!", and he and his group quickly starts retreating without looking back, to converge with the other teams of his Unit that during the start of the war divided themselves into many small teams to create as many ambush zones as possible.
Meanwhile, the poisonous smoke that blocked the sight of the Menos was sucked up by Kinja who then says "It's is just some low-quality paralyzing poison... Not even good as a snack..." and Suzaku then says "Come on let's chase after them... I'm bored of standing still" and Seiryuu commands the Gillians "You are too slow just walk around here and go wild...".
Then they all chased after Kankuro's team, while Kinja complained "Damn! When will I become a Vasto Lorde... If I could use Sonido we would already catch them" and a dejected Seiryuu commented "It isn't easy to become one... In fact, I think it is something that you have to be destined to become one... I have tried for thousands of years, and the number of Souls, Hollows, Humans I have eaten is uncountable but nothing changed, I'm still an Aduchas... Meanwhile, Orochimaru-sama became a Hollow for a few months and he already surpassed even the Vasto Lorde level".
Soon the Menos trio catch up with Kankuro's group, and Kinja from shoots from his mouth a small purple ball, that quickly reaches Kankuro's group and explodes in a purple mist enveloping all of them, the result is instantaneous as Kankuro's group quickly fall into the ground, those who have some poison resistance were on the ground coughing as their body grows numb, while the others were less fortunate, as they died quickly died with blood coming out of all the orifices.
Then Kinja slithered toward the still living one with the intention of finishing them off, but as he snaps his head to bite Kankuro to death, Mifune appears in front of him blocking the attack, and says "I suppose you are an Adjuchas? I'm the leader of the Samurai, I'm called Mifune and I request a duel against you!".
At the same time, other samurais came and started rescuing and detoxifying the still living ninja, while Kinja says "It seems fun... I accept..." then he turned to Suzaku and Seiryu and yells "The old man is mine you guy can have the others..." then he opens his mouth to once again shoot poison at his enemy, but Mifune is fast enough to attack with a quick slash forcing Kinja to evade "From here on, I won't let you use any techniques!".
Then Kinja attack Mifune with his tail, while quietly charging a Cero in his mouth, Mifune jumps back to evade the attack and at the same time sheath his katana, done with his feint, Kinja once again steadies himself and opens his mouth to shoot the fully charged Cero, but Mifune quickly run toward him saying "Katanas that stay sharp become Meitou and will ultimately last and remain! Iai Giri (Quick Draw Slash)!" and with a slash too fast for the eyes to follow, he appears behind the still open-mouthed Kinja with his sword draw in slashing pose "...And people who continue to put their lives on the line to defend their faith become heroes and will continue to exist on in legend!"
With a thin line appearing on his mask Kinja says "H-how were you able to cut me?" and Mifune replies "Your attack don't have sharpness..." then he looks at Kinja as he is disappearing, at the same time, while Mifune fought with Kinja, Suzaku and Seiryuu are rampaging as the Samurais are unable to defeat them.
Meanwhile, two other important events happen as the sun was falling leaving place to the darkness of the night, first Naruto grew suspicious of what was truly happening, as even if in an isolated place he still was able to feel some feeble ripples of the ongoing war so he got out of the temple and soon meet with a team lead by Iruka whose job was to stop him.
But using the sage mode he easily broke through and once outside he was able to feel the ongoing war, soon after Iruka tells Naruto about the war they are fighting to protect him, then he tries to stop him with a barrier, but he breaks free once again using the Kyubi's Chakra Mode, and soon after he is joined by Killer B and together they escape to join the battlefield.
At the same time, Zetsu finally found the true location of the five Daimiyos, and attacks but is intercepted by Mei, but right at that moment he finally feels once again the Presence of the Kyubi and Hachibi and uses a White Zetsu to report back to Obito who then told Zetsu to stop the plan to catch the Daimyo as they were now useless and just to continue with the guerrilla tactics, then he looks at the moon high in the sky and says "Tomorrow at long last, I will accomplish my Moon's Eye Operation!".
