"Have you tried just talking to him?" Fu asked Naruto as they trained under the supervision of Rin and Yamato, "I understand he isn't the most talkative but you'll make no progress if you don't try!" Fu finished her point by boasting her speed and delivering a swift kick to her sparring partner, the two continue to fight accepting all the criticism Rin sends their way. Watching discreetly was Kakashi, he planned on training Naruto in creating a new Jutsu however before he could make his presence known everyones attentions were gripped by the sound of explosions in the distance. "Come on Naruto, I bet you lunch I can guess who that is!" The three Jonin sighed as the two Jinchuriki rushed towards the commotion, sure enough at the source were the three members of Team 11 having a free for all sparring match. Naruto and Fu both agreed to take a break to watch the fight.
Standing in the center of a crater was Danieru, her palm still crackled as she prepared to launch another explosion. "You're lucky that those Kekkei Genkai don't effect your eye sight!" Taiyo shouted as he launched a rotating wave of Chakra towards her, the wave was met by a tentacle of Iron Sand. Several more sprouted around her feet however it wasn't just Iron Sand; Tree Roots, Snow and Ice, Regular Sand and Bone. "Seriously! When do you find the time to practice this stuff!" The two boys shouted at the same time, Danieru just winked as her powers began to rotate around her rapidly before launching multiple shards of each in a full hemi-sphere. The crater filled with several growths of ice, bone and thorns.
"You're right, I am lucky if you don't count the Chakra deterioration~" The young Uchiha rose up on a cloud of mixed Sand, Hari weaved through hand signs and launched a
"HARI!" Danieru yelled as she slipped under Taiyo's attack, "If you're going to use ninjutu at least shown me something new!" With a sigh the young Senju sprouted several thorned vines from his forearms, he then raised his left hand over his face. "No! Hari we talked about this!" Danieru launched several shuriken at the posing Senju, the vines intercepted all of them and threw them back towards the young Uchiha. Iron Sand shot straight from the ground knocking them all off course before spinning around behind Danieru to block an attack from Taiyo, "I forgot I copied it in the heat of the moment and lost my arm because of it, so I won't be making that mistake twice!" The Black Iron coalesced into a cloak covering her body, "Wanna end it with this next one guys?" The two boys looked between each other before nodding and jumping back into a triangle formation.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!" A wooden dragon grew around Hari's feet and circled him.
"Burning Attack!" Taiyo yelled as he weaved through several hand signs in the air, a technique he'd perfected with Shion.
"Draconic Ninja Art: Sky Dragon Wing Attack." As Danieru raised two fingers a current of wind swirled in a whirlwind, the five spectators gasped as all three Jutsu clashed in an incandescant blaze as all three elements mixed together. The three members of Team 11 looked at the giant bonfire and all simultaneously swore as they attempted to put it out, "I thought you were going to go for your Big Bang Attack! I would have used Ice Release if I had know!" Danieru argued with Taiyo as they aided Hari's Water Release to douse the flame, when a sudden Waterfall put it out completely all three Shinobi turned to face Rin and Obito who weren't impressed. Danieru rushed behind the two Jinchuriki as she was supposed to be taking it easy, Rin grabbed Danieru and dragged her away kicking and screaming. "Someone save me!" The Young Uchiha screamed however nobody interfered.
*
"Hari, Yamato and I will take shifts to keep an eye on Naruto's training." Danieru discussed with Tsunade, Jiraiya and Shizune whilst she bounced Mito on her lap. Kawa rested at her feet, the Ninja Hound had taken it upon herself to be the young Senju's bodyguard and rarely left her side. "With his use of Shadow Clones and our ability to subdue the Nine Tail's Chakra I'd say we'll see a major improvement within the month." Mito giggled as several snowflakes floated down around her, Tsunade smiled at the interaction before she turned serious.
"There's a mission that I'm going to send Team 10 on, with Asuma leaving the Village there's going to be less Jonin to protect Naruto so I'm sending Team 7 on a D Rank Mission to investigate some grave robbings." Tsunade explained, "I was planning on sending Fu with them but Rin suggested that you have too much energy so, would you like to accompany Team 7 and Fu on this assignment?" Danieru thought for a moment, the Ninja Hound at her feet began to let out a low growl as Danieru's Chakra fluctuated. "If you don't want to that's fine, I just thought tha~"
"I don't think it'll be the best idea for me to go at the moment," Danieru interupted much to Tsunade and Shizune's shock, "I'm having an on going debate with Kaeto on a new Jutsu I've been working on and he's limited my access to the Curse Mark." Everyone looked at her with mild curiosity, a mouth appeared on her cheek which projected a voice that wasn't her own. "The Jutsu takes too much Chakra, she needs to cut down the cost." Kaeto stated before blowing raspberries at Mito which made the one and a half year old giggle, "As the parasite stated, I need to cut down on the Chakra cost or boost how much Chakra my body can expend without depending on the Curse Mark." Danieru carried on while Kaeto created patterns appear across her skin to keep the child on her lap distracted, "If you want to send someone to keep an eye on Naruto as well as Fu I'd recommened Hari, combining his and Yamatos Wood Release would be even more effective at subduing the Nine Tails plus he has great synergy with Fu and Sakura." Tsunade nodded as per usual her adoptive daughter knew what was on her mind immediately.
*
Hari groaned as he prepared for the mission, Danieru had given him the heads up that the mission probably wasn't your usual D Rank. "I hope she's wrong too Hari but her gut is usually spot on when it comes to these things." Fu commented as she walked alongside him, they'd introduced themselves to Sai and Yamato as a secondary review of the teams effectiveness. "Well from the reports it seems that Danieru did all the heavy lifting on the Tenchi Bridge Mission despite the orders to keep her in reserve." Fu commented as she wasn't informed of the real reason she was being sent out of the village unlike Hari and Yamato, "So it only makes sense for Lady Tsunade to send Hari as an observer, I'm probably here as Naruto and I are training together quite a bit." Fu explained to Sai who was putting some pieces together.
"So Hari, how has your Wood Release progressed?" Yamato asked the young Senju, with Sakura and Naruto commenting on their shared power. "I trained Hari when he was younger though he quickly surpassed me, without going into too much detail his Wood Release is stronger as he's naturally gifted." Hari shrugged and explained his steps in Sage training had seriously enhanced his abilities despite his inability to access Sage Mode even to the extent of his Fathers Imperfect Sage Mode. Hari took note of Naruto splitting leaves as they traveled, Fu asked if he was alright whilst Sakura threatend to leave him behind. As they reached the Landmark Hari and Fu split up alongside Yamato and Sakura which left Naruto and Sai behind.
"It's likely Naruto will be the cause of that commotion, Fu go spectate but don't interfere unless he goes over board." Hari directed as they headed towards the sounds of conflict, as Fu flew towards the fighting Hari came to a stop. Weaving through hand signs he created several Wood Clones which immediately fused with the local flora, "Even her knowledge isn't fool proof so I'll gather my own intel~" He signalled Yamato and kept his distance whilst keeping an eye on Sora, "You were right Danieru, I can sense it." Hari kept his distance even during introductions much to the displeasure of the Fire Monks, when Naruto fought with Sora he signalled for Fu not to interfere. "Naruto is the best person to get through to Sora, I'm going to keep up reconiscense so keep following Yamato's orders and continue to keep an eye on Sai." He ordered Fu, who wasn't exactly happy about being bossed around but nodded all the same.
*
Fu flew after the coffins on the right flank with Yamato until they disappeared underground, she stayed quiet as they planned their next move only for the ground to begin rapidly changing around them. "Naruto, Sakura!" Fu launched several Chakra Threads only for them to be severed by the shifting terrain leaving her and Sai alone, "We've got to get up into the sky and find them!" Fu shouted to Sai however as they flew up they were enclosed in stone, the two Leaf Shinobi nodded as they moved through the twisting Labyrinth at high speeds.
*
Naruto stared down the woman across from him who had just attempted to kiss him, "There are only two girls who I want to kiss me lady!" He threw several shruriken and used the
"Get away from Naruto!" The yellow haired Jinchuriki heard a familiar voice as well as the humming of insect wings.
*
Hari watched from a distance as Sora fought against Kazuma, he debated getting involved until Sora's arm transformed. "Well that's interesting, it isn't a Curse Mark is it?" Hari pondered as Sora's attack collided with his opponents, the aftermath leaving the young Fire Monk momentarily unconcious. "Suppose you're wondering if I'll be jumping in huh?" Hari asked Kazuma who was staring at him, as Sora woke up his eyes locked onto Hari. "Sora, you can sense Naruto correct?" The boys eyes widened before nodding, "Then go, if my intel is correct everyone's in trouble right now and only you can help them." With a reluctant nod Sora ran off towards where Naruto and the others were, "Now then are we going to fight or are you going to run?" Kazuma took out a sweet potato and began to walk away, "That's fine by me, I'd rather go make sure my teams alright..." Hari was about to chase Sora but decided to turn to Kazuma. "A word of advice, if you plan on using the dead to attack the Hidden Leaf then my Team will hunt you down without mercy... Especially him..."
When Hari arrived he couldn't help but grow angry, "HEY FU WHAT THE HELL!" He shouted as he saw Fu kissing some random woman however when he noticed they drained look in her eyes he understood the situation entirely. "WOOD RELEASE: HIEROPHANT FORMATION!" Several roots shoot across the room not only seperating Fūka from Fu but also freeing the rest of his Team from an Earth Prison, Hari caught Fu as she stumbled. "I don't know who you are Lady but you have some nerve, sadly She isn't here to kick your ass so I'll have to do it for her... Wood Release: Emerald Splash!" Several Humaniod figures grew from the roots and began launching several streams of water at the three people before him, they quickly jumped back as the reinforcements from the Fire Temple arrived. "Will you be fleeing again?" Hari asked, the group vanished and he began to treat Sai's broken arm while everyone else began to move out.
*
Danieru's rage filled the room as she listened to the report, Tsunade carefully attempted to defuse the situation to the best of her ability. "Danieru, Fu needs to go to the hospital for a check up now." To which Danieru responded by asking if she wasn't a good enough Medical Shinobi to look after her girlfriend which shut everyone up as this was the first time Danieru had openly stated it. "Danieru that's not what I meant..." The young Uchiha dragged Fu out of the Hokages Office, the Seven Tails Jinchuriki didn't put up much of a fight much to everyones expectations. "How can she be so clever yet so dense..." Everyone stared at Tsunade trying to understand her meaning, "Fu has our young Danieru wrapped around her finger, Shizune please inform Taiyo that he's to keep an eye on my daughter... I don't need Obito returning to the village to find another member of his Clan hellbent on revenge."
Hari chuckled thinking back to how Danieru was in her previous life, they'd always been like that when it came to someone the cared about. "Shizune don't bother," Tsunade scowled at her son as he leant against the wall, "Sorry Lady Hokage but Danieru just heard the same report as you did... She won't be running out to blindly search for them, she's too..." Hari thought for a moment, trying to think of the right word. "She's too methodical for that, you haven't seen her on missions... She'll probably stalk Sora as he's their target." Tsunade nodded, she'd recieved similar reports from Obito about Danieru. "The only way to stop her from performing proficiently is to throw someone she cares about into the equation... Like Gaara~" He waited a moment before turning to leave, "She'll follow Sora, from what I gathered he was their real target and Danieru will have figured it out."
*
Hari's observation was correct as Danieru stalked Sora, she watched as he picked fights with Kiba and Choji. When Lee jumped in she decided to intervene, "Don't worry Shikamaru, it would be a drag if you had to deal with this~" Ice rapidly covered the five Leaf Shinobi whilst Akamaru was gently lifted away with Iron Sand, Danieru's eyes didn't leave Sora as she calmd everyone down and melted the ice. "Sadly we have to wait for Kakashi Sensei to return from his mission before we can continue that training Naruto, I'll stop by and check on the progress of your Wind Chakra control later ok." Danieru waved as she handed dealing with the aftermath to Asuma and Shikamaru however she didn't stray far as she watched Sora until the Shadow Clone she left with Fu dispelled itself, with a sigh she stood up from the tree branch when she heard Sora asked Naruto about her.
"She lost her arm defending our friend Gaara, even without it I doubt we could beat her even if we teamed up..." Naruto began, Danieru crouched back down on her perch. "She's the adopted daughter of Granny Tsunade, she's also a member of the Uchiha Clan." He then went on to explain who the Uchiha were in greater detail than Danieru thought he could muster, "Her eyes are her biggest strength and weakness, I've been trying to find a way to combat the Sharingan... Hell I've even gone to Bushy Brow Sensei!" Naruto threw a Wind Infused Kunai straight through a tree, the kunai burried itself deep in the tree. "Unless I figure out a way around the Sharingan or increase my strength to completely surpass it's advantages I won't ever be able to bring Sasuke home..."
"Naruto..." The two boys looked up to see Danieru sat on the tree branch, two crimson orbs peering down at them. "The only reliable counter to a Sharingan is another Sharingan~" She drops down and lands right next to Sora, her eye's causing his skin to crawl. "That doesn't mean there aren't other methods, one that would work well against Sasuke is to use Ninjutsu he won't be able to copy." The two boys blink rapidly as Danieru vanishes from view, "Another good counter is to avoid eye contact, watch the way their body moves to predict their next attack." Naruto releases them from the Genjutsu only to see Danieru standing on a single kunai, Naruto knew the look in her eyes all to well. "Let's see what you two have got~" The two boys nodded to each other and rushed forward towards Danieru, who made no attempts to dodge, Sora was the first to throw a punch however it passed straight through its mark.
"Oh no..." Naruto muttered as several body flickers of Danieru filled the clearing, "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Sora watched as the Clones took up a defensive formation around the two of them, "Her big brother was famous for this technique, her body flicker technique has mass and each one will be able to attack." The next thing Sora knew he was in a cloud of smoke, a blade of bone resting at his throat, "Hey Danieru get off me!" His eyes travelled down to see the young Uchiha crouched on Naruto's back, black sand spreading over his limbs. Sora blinked and he too was on the ground however his restraints were well placed spikes of bone, Danieru sighed and walked away. "We got off lucky ya know!" Naruto commented as he shook off the loosening sand, "You should see her sparring matches with her teammates."
*
Taiyo watched as Sora snuck into the Hokage Mansion, he would inform someone however Danieru told him specifically to ignore Sora. Shion had gained better control over her powers as the Priestess and seen a glimpse of the events to come and wanted to tell Tsunade, "I have a meeting with her later, I promise to bring it up to her then." She looked at Taiyo, who was stearing her back towards the Hyuga Compound, with a look of amusement as the young Hyuga. "Look Shion, it's my job to protect you so that's exactly what I'm going to do so please head home." The Priestess sighed before walking on ahead, since she'd began training herself her powers had evolved to seeing the future as long as it effected the people she cares about. Taiyo leant against an entrance to an alley, "It's a shame Obito and Rin have been sent to the border with the Hidden Rain Village, we could have really used their help." Taiyo commented as two red globes peered from the shadows, "Could Obito beat the Akatsuki leader?"
"Pain yes," Danieru replied as she stepped out into the light. "Though the Children of Madara are a different story all together." An air of silence spread beween the two, they'd had this conversation several times before as they both knew how strong Obito could be. "Rin will be fine, she's the partner of the Phantom of Konoha after all... Not to mention the prescense of the Copy Ninja." The two of them fell quiet again as they thought about future events and a truth neither of them wanted to admit, all three Children of Madara were still alive. "I'll see you tonight Taiyo, let's make them regret attacking Hari, Fu and the others."
*
Naruto burst into the Hokage's Office and tackled Tsunade, "Are you ok Granny?" Tsunade nodded and looked over to where the Shuriken embedded itself in the wall. "SORA! WHY WOULD YOU ATTACK GRANNY TSUNADE!" Naruto shouted as he blocked Sora's attack, the lights went out as Sora fled through the village. The team captains rushed to the Hokage's office whilst all other Shinobi got to their designated areas incase of attack, the exception were the members of Team 11 who watched over the meeting waiting for specific orders. As Asuma was sent after Sora Tsunade turned to Team 11.
"Hari, we're assuming that the same people who attacked you previously are the attackers now... Brief your teammates and stand by for them to make their move, Danieru..." Tsunades eyes fixed on her adopted daughter, "Use of the Mangekyou Sharingan is prohibited unless it is a matter of life or Death, am I understood?" Danieru nodded and with that Team 11 scattered through the village, Tsunade moved back to her office and sent for Shikamaru as soon as the barrier was erected.
"Taiyo, stick to Yamato. Hari you cover the main gate. Once the enemy has been defeated we'll converge on Sora and Naruto!" Danieru ordered just before they seperated to deal with the enemy.
*
Hari arrived at the main gate and upon seeing the reanimated corpses and observed the ensuing carnage until the enemy dispersed before jumping into action, "Everyone jump!" He ordered as he weaved through handsigns, as soon as all Leaf Shinobi were in the air he smacked his palm on the ground, "Wood Release: Forest of Swords!" Several tree roots pierce the ground and dance through the undead Shinobi, "WE'RE HIDDEN LEAF SHINOBI, we just have to hold out until Taiyo or Danieru can defeat the Jutsu Caster!" The Leaf Shinobi rallied around Hari as they fended off the continuous horde of undead.
*
Yamato was trapped in a valley created by Fudo, the rogue Shinobi moved the Earth to attempt to sneak attack the Wood Release user however a flash of red intercepted the blow. "Go Captain Yamato! I'll deal with this guy!" Taiyo yelled as he landed a swift kick which launched Fudo back, Yamato nodded before jumping away. "So you use Earth Release to enhance your physical resistance huh?" Fudo rushed in again however Taiyo launched him back with a wave of Chakra, "You're the one using that Reanimation Jutsu right?" Taiyo's face darkened as he landed several blows to the body before coating his hand in Lightning Chakra, "CHIDORI!" The jutsu ripped straight through Fudo's defences, blood covered Taiyo's hand as he ripped it free from Fudo's chest. "The dead should be allowed to rest," Taiyo weaved through hand signs. "You'll wish you were that lucky..." Lightning flashed through the valley as well Fudo's screams, back at the main gate the undead Shinobi fell.
*
Naruto hung onto the ledge of the rooftop as Fūka blasted him with Lightning Chakra, Naruto's screams of pain stopped when the Lightning turned black. "What do you think you're doing to Naruto?" Fūka's eyes widened as someone grabbed her wrist, "Naruto... Before you run off after Sora...Is this the one who hurt Fu?" Danieru didn't need the nod of confirmation Naruto gave as he pulled himself back up, she waved away Naruto's warning as she let Fūka gain some distance. "I have some pay back I need to dish out, I'll catch up when I can Naruto." The Nine Tails Jinchuriki rushed off after Sora, leaving Danieru and Fuka alone.
"Oh so you're the Danieru I've heard so much about whilst fighting that Bug Girl, am I right?" Danieru nodded which only made Fūka laugh, "She was so upset that I stole her first kiss you know, I bet that was left out of the report you heard." She weaved through several hand signs, "Fire Release: Pheonix Flower Jutsu!" Danieru waved her hand releasing a turrent of Wind Chakra to dispel the flames, "Oh, you have Wind Chakra as well, maybe I'll give you a kiss to make up for stealing the little girls first.
"That sounds like a great idea." Fūka ducked just quick enough to dodge being decapitated by Danieru wielding Kyariba, several hands shot out from the blade and wrapped around the rogue Shinobi. "I'll be taking that kiss back!" Danieru darted forward and as soon as her lips touched Fūkas the air grew cold, ice began to spread across the skin of both Kunoichi until Fūka was frozen solid. "Go ahead and switch to your next body already, I'll kill that one too~" Fūka's eyes widened as she switched bodies, "My Sharingan can see the colour of Chakra, I saw through your Jutsu immediately." Fūka tried to launch a Water Release Jutsu but it froze the instance it formed, she attempted a Fire Release Jutsu but it smacked uselessly against a wall of Iron Sand. "My turn~" An arm quickly grew thanks to the Curse Mark, crackling sounded from Danieru's palms. "Explosion Release: Final Flash~" She dashed forward and brought her hands together before firing a stream of explosions that left only the charred remains of Fūka's hair, "You disgust me..."
*
"Sora, the Nine Tails is a burden we both share... I understand your pain but I can't let you destroy my home!" Naruto rushed forward to attack Kazuma. "I recognised the eyes at Fire Temple because they're the same eyes that looked at me! So why! Why was it necessary to make Sora like me!" Several of Naruto's attacks were blocked by Kazuma's staff, before his counter attack landed Kazuma was pulled back by a series of threads. Seconds later Sora was caught in cocoon, Naruto looked up to see Fu flying above the battle.
"I passed by Captain Yamato on the way here and I'm certain Danieru, Hari or Taiyo are on their way as well!" Sora tore himself free and slashed up at the Seven Tails Jinchuriki who dove to the side, "Hey Sora, you need to calm down!" Yamato and Sakura arrived, immediately restraining Sora with Wood Release, when they found out that he couldn't supress the Nine Tails due to Sora not wearing the First Hokage's Necklace Fu flew around him. As the cocoon formed around the Psuedo-Jinchuriki the members of Team 10 arrived, "I wouldn't use your Mind Transfer Jutsu Yamanaka, if he's fully given himself to the Nine Tails it won't work." Fu commented as she landed, Shikamaru nodded and advised Ino to focus on healing Ninjutsu. Sora's head broke free and let out a shockwave of air pressure, as everyone prepared for impact a streak of black landed in front of them.
"Wind Stance: Instant Severance." Danieru said as she vertically sliced through Soras blast with Kyariba, the blade made of nothing but wind. The resulting split left all the Konoha Shinobi behind her unharmed as the pressurised air had been cut into a V-shape. "Naruto.. Can you reach him?" She asked without taking her eyes off of Sora, when Naruto responded she couldn't help but chuckle. "Team 11 will step in if he sprouts five tails or he's about to kill you." She walked past Naruto as he walked forward, the two of them bumping fists as they passed by. Fu was about to ask how Danieru was but she waved her hand, "Kyariba generates Chakra from negative emotions, I've got loads to spare." Hari and Taiyo arrived just as Naruto took a roar point blank, "He's fine, right Naruto?"
"You better belive it!" He yelled as he rushed back towards Sora who broke free of all the bindings, "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!" A small squad of Naruto's dogpiled on top of Sora in an attempt to talk him down, when his own Nine Tails cloak began to spread Hari jumped in to use the Tailled Beast Suppression Jutsu only for it to not work. Sora grew into a four tailed cloak and launched Naruto away as he began to slowly transform as well, as his skin burnt and peeled he stabbed himself in the thigh. "I don't need your power you bastard fox!" As the cloak retreated he looked over at Team 11, "Can you guys subdue him!" He asked as he started rushing in, the members of Team 11 scoughed as they acted. Taiyo jumped up into air with Kaioken activated whilst Danieru and Hari weaved through handsigns, Sora turned his attention to the two of them so Taiyo used a
In unison, Danieru and Hari yelled. "Wood Release: Salix Binding Jutsu!" Two Willow trees grew in front of the two Shinobi, their branches quickly adjusting and launching towards Sora. The flexible branches wrapped around Sora's arms, legs and tails whilst Naruto began trying only for another pressurised roar sends him flying back into Taiyo. A red hue covers the forest as a Fifth Tail begins to grow from Sora's lower back, tearing free from his bindings the Psuedo-Jinchuriki charged forward only to be engulfed in a cloud of sparks and smoke. Danieru walked forward whilst Hari sat down, crossing his legs, "Taiyo, we're switching to Formation Somnus. Hari is gonna try entering Sage Mode so don't do anything risky... Fu, get Naruto to the others please." The two Jinchuriki watched some of their closest friends completely change gear.
Taiyo activated his Kaioken Technique whilst Danieru activated her Stage 2 Curse Mark, several tendrils sprouting from her lower back as wings of Iron Sand coalesce from her shoulder blades. "Let me guess, the Nine Tails is feeding Kyariba?" Taiyo asked and chuckled as he spotted Danieru's grin, his Kaioken deactivating. "Go ahead, I'll protect Hari." Her Sharingan flared to life as she ran towards the Beast in front of her, taking to the air, she rained black feathers of Iron Sand down on Sora who simply roared them away. Tails met Tendrils in a blur of movement as the Beast and the Konuichi slashed at each other until several seals spread across the floor, spears of ice and bone were launched into Sora by Wind Chakra.
"COME ON SORA! YOU CAN BREAK FREE," Danieru yelled as launched several different Ninjutsu combinations at Corrupt Monk. "If you're too weak... LET ME BE YOUR STRENGTH!" Several red Chakra arms began to thrash wildly as Sora attempted to break free from the influence of the Nine Tails, Kyariba's blade turned to pure ice as Danieru used her
*
Thankfully, my training paid off. I managed to perfectly manifest Sage Mode and with a wave of my hand create a Wood Dome to shield Danieru from Sora's roar. "Hey Fu, come get your girl... I'm going to get Sora back~" Fu pulled Danieru back with her Chakra strings just as Sora broke down the dome, a simple activation hand seal and the shattered dome grows around the four tailed cloak. "Sora, I'm truly sorry... This is probably going to hurt... Sage Art Wood Release: Highway Star!" A humanoid wooden construct rushes forward and embeds its fingers into Sora, rapidly draining the Nine Tails Chakra. The jutsu grows into a giant tree with a burnt Sora unconcious in the its branches, I turned to face everyone as my Sage Mode faded away and their faces said it all.
*
Danieru was sat on top of the Hokage Monument, she'd said her goodbyes to Sora and left pretty abruptly. "I hope he doesn't think I'm mad at him..." She muttered as she lay back, tears threatened to flow freely from her eyes. The words of the Dragon Sage rang through her mind, until she overcame her weak body she'd never achieve Sage Mode. "Don't cry you idiot... You should be happy that the both of them are stronger..." Snow starts to fall around her as she starts crying, "Damn it, you're stronger than this!" A hand landed on her shoulder, looking up she saw Obito who didn't say anything as she rested her forehead against his chest. "I'm so far behind them..."
