Chapter 37 - Jinchuriki Mayhem?!

Danieru ran from her opponent who wielded several swords, "I swear I didn't mean it Lor.." She went into a slide as one of the blades flew over her head, she'd been trying to talk her opponent out of his bloodlust but it wasn't working as she jumped off one of the highrise buildings. The best she could do was run while she waited for Obito and Rin to finish their meeting, as she went into free fall Danieru activated her Curse Mark forming wings. 'Man he's no joke when you piss him off!' Danieru thought moments later a kunai pierced through her wing, luckily she had enough time to save herself with massively slowing her decent before saving the landing by wrapping herself in her wings, springing up she slid back dragging her hand across the ground spreading her blood across it as she went. "There's no talking you out of this is there?" Her opponent shook his head as he stepped forward, Danieru let out a sigh, "There is no way I could beat you on my own even if I wanted to fight you in the first place Lord B, I do sincerely apologise for laughing at your rap and embarrassing you infront of that Lady but I won't just sit down to be your punching bag!" The ground began to rumble as a giant armored Drake with two heads emerged, "Listen up Ryuji I don't actually want to fight him alright?" The left head turned to face her, taking note of the fact she was using the to look like a random boy as well as taking note of the hole in her wing which she'd used for the . The right head opened its mouth launching a cloud of dust towards B, "Hop on my Lady, we shall keep you safe!" 

"Fool, ya fool, you can't hide in this dust in the Eight Tails I trust!" Two octopus tentacles launched through the dust cloud, one latching onto Ryujis tail and the other hitting Danieru in the gut sending the Leaf Shinobi flying back. When she recovered she had to launch herself to the side as Ryuji was launched at her, "Ryuji are you alright?" Turning back to Killer B it was obvious he was annoyed as he swatted away the dust cloud with his tentacles, weaving hand signs B shot multiple ink bullets however they were blocked by an from Ryuji. "My Lady you have to fight! You won't be able to with that guise of yours!" Danieru nodded towards the Drake before walking towards the wall and punching straight through it, B was taken back seeing Danieru. "Give me a sec please, we wouldn't want you winning this fight with ease." She winked at B as she stretched, "It's been too long since I turned off that Jutsu, how my Mother fights with that strain on her Chakra..." She began jumping from side to side as her speed gradually came back to her, B finished writing in his note book as a howling wind rang throughout the area Danieru smiled. "Ryuji you are free to go now I'm pretty sure I'll be alright now." With a hesitant nod the Earth Drake unsummoned, the hole in Danierus wing healed rapidly before shrinking back into its Mark. Danierus Sharingan flared crimson as their pattern changed gaining a fourth Tomoe as well as a line connecting them, "Now then are you ready for this you two?" Danieru asked as she flashed forward, splitting into multtiple copies of herself using the .

B was sticking to Taijutsu which didn't make him any less deadly, 'If it wasn't for my ability to see the future how long would I actually last?' The thought crossed Danierus mind as an octopus tentacle narrowly missed her, grabbing onto it she landed a kick straight to B's neck and just like in his fight against Sasuke B began writing in his notebook. Danieru sprung back using it as a chance to catch her breathe, deactivating her Sharingan she began looking around for someone to give her a hand which is when she saw B pull out one of his swords. "Is that really necessary Lord B? As you can see I don't have a sword!" That's when he surged forward forcing Danieru to use Shikotsumyaku to create a Blade as she began deflecting the blade, when he grabbed a second sword Danieru was forced to activate her Sharingan. The two fighters didn't say anything to each other as they fought, the sound of metal slamming against bone rang out through the valley they found themselves in however it was quickly silenced when B caught Danieru off guard by forming two tentacles quickly subduing her. "I stopped you in your track, what you said can' be taken back fool, ya fool!" Danieru tried to escape using her Chakra enhanced strength however the tentacles were highly adaptable to the stress, Danieru stopped struggling as she went limp when Gyuki shouted to B that he was in a Genjutsu. Snapping out of it B saw that his tentacles had been frozen and smashed to pieces with Danieru laying on top of a tree branch, "Took you long enough to break him out of that Gyuki."

"Be careful B, she's a lot stronger than shes been letting on!" Gyuki exclaimed before B could say anything back began raining down on him from Danierus position, when he began to effortlessly dodge them she began weaving through hand signs releasing and it wasn't long before the entire area was covered in a thin layer of ice and if it wasn't for the Eight Tails Chakra cloak which had began to spread across him B would have been frozen similar to how she had frozen Hidan a year and a half prior, "You Jinchuriki never disappoint when it comes to your guys power and adaptibility, I didn't want to fight you Lord B as it was a genuine mistake on my end but I'm glad we did as it shows how far I've come even if I am at my limit now..." As soon as she said that Danieru slipped from the tree branch however just before she hit the ground she was caught by a winged girl with mint green hair, "Honestly Danieru you always push it too far! And don't get me started on you, using your Tailed Beast Chakra against my friend honestly!" Fu shouted as she hovered above the frozen valley carrying Danieru bridal style, Danieru placed her hand on Fus cheek before smirking. "I can be reckless because I knew you'd come and save me!" Fu blushed slightly before dropping Danieru onto the floor and huffing before landing between her and B.

B finally began asking questions such as who they were and are they a threat, Fu explained who they were and the reason they came to the Hidden Cloud. As Danieru got back up after regaining her Chakra a ripple appeared inbetween the three Shinobi out of the time-space Ninjutsu came A, Obito, Rin and the Two Tails Jinchuriki Yugito Nii. A grabbed Bs head before shouting at him for attacking a foreign diplomate, "Thank you for the concern Lord Raikage but I'm fine, I could have explained the situation better and as you can see I wasn't exactly against the sparring match." Obito and Rin laughed while Fu greeted Yugito, "Although four Jinchurikis in one place is a bit risky even with you and Obito here.." There was a murmur of agreement before Rin began laughing, looking over at where she was pointing revealed Itachi Uchiha approaching the group with a group of Rogue Shinobi on the floor at the treeline. "My Mangekyo isn't active right?" This got a laugh from Fu although it was more of a nervous chuckle, Obito stepped in front of the Raikage as lightning began to crackle around his fingertips. "I haven't come to fight you Lord Raikage or the Tailed Beasts here, Danieru can I talk to you for a moment?" With a grunt Danieru slowly made her way forward, Fu groaned before grabbing her by the shoulder and putting her down next to Itachi before going back to Rin.

"I heard the rumours, I'm sorry Danieru I didn't want you to achieve these eyes of ours." It took Danieru a second before realising he was talking about the usual path of gaining the Mangekyo, hesitantly she wrapped her around him. "Izumi misses you Itachi... Me and Obito miss you too, I don't understand why Sasuke is the only one not allowed to know the truth... My Mother would listen to me Itachi we could clear your name!" Tears began to fall as Itachi returned the hug before quickly throwing her back as the Rogue Shinobi under his charge woke up from their Genjutsu, "You may have been able to place all of them under Genjutsu but your eyes are nowhere near strong enough!" Weaving hand signs Itachi launched which hit Danieru point blank, Fu and Rin screamed as the resulting explosion completely engulfs the young Uchiha. The cheers from Itachis soldiers were drowned out by a shout from Obito, "Itachi, you know better than to underestimate her right?" The smoke from the explosion settled the cloud suddenly shot upwards revealing Danierus full Curse Mark transformation, flying around she began attacking the Rogue Shinobi picking them off one by one. "Fu me and Obito will cover you, go help her!" Rin shouted as she ran towards Itachi, 'I'm trusting you Isobu!' Rin yelled into her subconcious and with an alarming ferocity the Chakra of the Three Tails spread from Rin, Obito sighed as he turned to A and B. "I apologise for the mess Lord Raikage, we'll wrap this up quickly then explain what's going on to you." 

"Draconic Ninja Art: Fire Dragon Freestyle Combo!" Fires ignited around Danierus hands and feet allowing her to swiftly dispatch a great number of opponets before a cloud of glittering scales caught her attention, rocketing straight up she hovered next to Fu, "Mind doing the honors my little sparkler?" Fu teased as Danieru fused the fire from her limbs into her right fist, "Oh ho, only if you catch me my little Junebug." With a nod Danierus Curse Mark began to fade back into its source, "Alright Cooperation Jutsu: Flashfire Fist- Jet Kindling!" She punched into the cloud of scales which quickly caught on fire creating a massive explosion of flame to shoot forward blasting away the rest of the Rogue Shinobi, Danierus wings crumbled away luckily Fu was quick to catch her. Looking at the rest of the battle revealed Itachi and Rin engaging in a Taijutsu match, "Hey Fu can you drop me in the middle of the two of them, Obitos already taken care of the loose ends." Fu obliged allowing Danieru the satisfaction of fullfilling a life long dream of hers which is performing the famous Uchiha split kick, both kicks hit their targets shoulders sending them both sliding back. "You can go now Itachi..." After one last smile Itachi left much to the Raikages confusion, "He's an undercover Leaf Shinobi..." Obito went on to explain the basics of what Itachi was doing and the threat that the Akatsuki placed, Rin then went on to explain their mission fully in detail. "That doesn't explain why that Hidden Waterfall Shinobi is here!" A proclaimed as he faced Fu who had joined Yugito in shouting at B for attacking Danieru who was trying to mediate, "Oh that is simple Lord Raikage, when we explained the situation to Shibuki the leader of the Hidden Waterfall his concern for our dear Fus safety touched me deeply so I've taken her on as my pupil!"

*

Danieru was using Genjutsu on herself to practice her Curse Mark safely, at least that was only half of the truth. "I won't let you keep doing this to me!" The piece of Orochimarus consciousness inside of Danierus Curse Mark screamed, "Will you just shut up and let me work!" Danieru shouted as her Sharingan glowed crimson, "You're scared because what I'm suggesting would work, isn't that right asshole?" Looking back at the piece of the Legendary Sannins very soul she couldn't help but smirk as she looked at the mental prison she'd created for him, he was trapped suspended in a void she'd based off of an Ancient Greek myth she'd heard in passing. One of the first things she'd had her friends as well as herself do when they had the chance was work on mental defenses as who knows what would happen if someone learned they were reincarnated. "My Mental Prison Tartarus... Tartarus had Campe as its guard I hope to turn you into my guard as well as my assistant in seperate matters." She approached the edge of the opening, "But if I let you into my memories that would be extremely dangerous if I was used to bring the real Orochimaru back from the dead, so I'll rewrite your entire being with my Sharingan." An evil smirk spread across Danierus face as she jumped into the void, "The best part is, you have no way to stop me so I'll get all that knowledge in you head as well!" She could see it clear as day in this persons face as she glanced into his eyes, she'd made a piece of Orochimaru experience fear.

"Hmm come to think of it, its almost time to go back home isn't it?" Danieru said allowed as she walked through the forest into a fog covered plains with ruins spotted around the area, "This looks like the place so lets see if all the movies are Canon in this world." Finding an entrance she walked through the corridors, using her Sharingan allowed her to simply walk without having to worry about the lack of light. "A left here right?" A dark voice in the back of her mind called out, entering the main chamber she found an old man digging through the rubble, "A weird place for an old man such as yourself to be, have you lost something?" Doctor Shinno spun around and was immediately placed under Sharingan Genjutsu, "Time for you to tell me everything you know about this place doc." After a while she released him, "Hey wake up will you! I haven't got all day and I need to get back before Obito realises I snuck off." Shinno shot forward aiming to punch Danieru who swatted it to the side, then kicked him in the gut. "YOU FOOL I'LL JUST REGENERATE THIS!" Danieru watched intently with her Mangekyo as Shinno actived the , the dark Chakra surrounded him as his age regressed. "So that's how it works huh.." A wave of dark Chakra passed over her throwing Danieru back, "My Body Revival Technique is so potent that I'd be able to activate all the Eigh.. " Danieru activated the and looked over her body, "Maybe if you were just opening them for fun this technique has the most obvious flaw that I actually can't see myself using it at all." Shinno rushed forward however Danieru ducked under the punch, the Sharingan may not be as good at seeing Chakra pathways as the Byakugan but applying medical knowledge as well as training against multiple Hyugas makes for a decent way to bridge the gap as Danieru plants senbon into three of Shinnos Chakra points.

Danieru dusted herself off as she walked after the withered Doctor Shinno, once they reached the room housing the Zero Tails she threw a straight through the mans torso killing him on impact. Danieru looked at all the Sealing Jutsu surrounding the fake Tailed Beast, "Alright I'm here, you called me so what's up?" The Zero Tails tried corrupting her like it had done with Shinno however she didn't have any evil desires so she just shook off and pulled out a scroll, "Ah I get it you wanted someone stronger to be your host right? Well that just ain't gonna happen buddy.." Weaving hand signs she placed her hand on the scroll revealing a one handed Longsword made of black chakra metal, anger filled her mind as she picked up the sword. "Oh this? It was a gift from Lord B for an apology, it's highly durable and lightweight..." Danierus eyes glowed a bright crimson while a wicked smirk grew across her face, "I'm going to seal you in the sword and use you as a Chakra battery!" Danieru began studying the sealing formula of the tablet behind the Zero Tails, copying the formula onto her blade she threw a paper bomb onto the tablet freeing the Psuedo Tailed Beast. It used its ability to form multiple appendages to try and attack the young Uchiha however she didn't move however no arms came close to her as the swords blade became a blade of wind, Danieru walked forward slowly until she reached the main body. The blade met the main body of the Leech, "Sealing Jutsu: Malevolent Binding!" The creature began to fold into the blade, the beasts consciousness rested in the hilt of the sword, "This... is were the fun begins!" 

Returning to the camp Obito ran over to Danieru staring at an Enclosing Technique seal on her chest, "Care to explain?" Danieru placed her hand over her chest and with an explosion of smoke her new sword appeared in her hand, "It's my new sword! I'm thinking of a name for it." After some thought she raised it to the air, "Kyariba! That is the name of my blade!" Obito, Rin and Fu shouted at her to get some rest as they wanted to reach the Hidden Leaf in the next week, Danieru jumped up into a tree and looked up at the moon, "Hmm are you watching Toneri?" She chuckled to herself as she fell into a deep sleep were the Zero Tails tried to corrupt her mind only for it to be sucked into Tartarus, the tortured part of Orochimarus soul being a prime source of Dark Chakra which was then split three ways; into Kyariba, the Curse Mark and finally the Byakugou Seal which Danieru had to neglect due to her lack of Chakra. She counted the days, weeks and months realising it had almost been three years she chuckled again. "Alright you two lets see how far you've come!"

"The three years are almost up right mother?" Hari asked as he noticed Tsunade enter his room, "They'll be able to finally meet you too isn't that right Mito?" Haris little sister ran past Tsunade and jumped into Hari, forcing him to put his Sage training on hold as he caught Mito. Tsunade had revealed her pregnancy to Hari and Shizune after Jiraiya and Danieru left the village, Hari had opted out of telling Danieru about it when they bumped into them during their fight with Hidan knowing family means everything to Danieru and he didn't want to force her to chose between her family or the mission, a mission that was highly important yeah he wasn't leaving that choice to Danieru. "Hari you've grown into a fine young man, a powerful Shinobi. My choice to promote you to Jonin alongside Neji Hyuga had nothing to do with my being your mother, honestly your own merit as well as your medical breakthroughs earned you that rank." Hari thanked his mother as he handed Mito to a giant golden ninja hound, Mito grabbed Kawas tail causing the sleeping dog to yelp and transform into her human transformation. "Was that really necessary pup?" Kawa asked the small Senju who giggled at the embarrased Kawa, who bowed her head when she noticed Lady Tsunade. An Anbu wearing an owl mask appeared kneeling in front of Tsunade, "Lady Hokage a masked individual with no Chakra signature has entered the village, permission to intercept?"

Hari got up and summoned Kosuke, "Go tell Taiyo to meet me, mother I'd like to handle this if you don't mind." With nod of confirmation Hari patted the Anbu on the shoulder, "Come on, show me where this person is." The masked individual walked through the Hidden Leaf as if they'd been there before, Hari kept his distance until they reached cemetery. Taiyo appeared next to Hari in the treeline, "His mask is covered in sealing formula as well as his cloak, I can't see the guys face at all or if he has any weapons on him." Hari nodded before jumping down and walking over to the grave of Lord Third which wasn't too far from the Masked Individual, Taiyo joined him still unable to see through the sealing formula. "Shall we go pay our respects?" Hari asked and with a nod the two Shinobi walked over taking note that the grave the Individual had stopped at was the grave of Shisui Uchiha. "Hey stranger, are you ok?" Taiyo asked, the masked individual produced a bouquet from under their cloak. "He was not a fan of flowers but its customary to leave is it not?" Taiyo nodded as the flowers were placed on the grave, "Tell me you two, did you know him?" Hari spoke up as he had in fact known Shisui, "One of my best friends, Danieru Uchiha was his little sister and we used to watch him spar with his friend." The masked individual turned to Hari before placing his hands together and muttering something, "I thought that was you Hari Senju, you have grown." The masked man lifted his mask revealing Itachi Uchiha, Taiyo took up a stance but dropped it when Itachi produced a scroll.

"I'm afraid you don't have time for that, Kisame and I are moving two clones with thirty percent of our total chakra outside the village with the goal of freeing Hidan providing he's still alive of course." Hari took the scroll, Itachi turned to Taiyo, "Danieru talks highly of you two whenever I see her, I pray you're quick enough to stop our clones Hidan is dangerous as you know." Hari nodded at Taiyo who rocketed of at high speeds, Itachi smirked as he turned back to Hari. "Impressive, her faith wasn't misplaced at all." Itachi put his mask back on before turning to leave, "I have one question for you before I go see another old friend, has Danzo threatened her?" Hari thought for a second before pulling a scroll from inside his jacket and tossed it to Itachi, "Give that a read and tell me." Itachi caught it, after reading it he couldn't contain his laughter. "And each of you have one of these? That girl really is clever for her age..." Even behind the mask Hari could tell Itachi was holding back tears, Hari lifted his fist and with a nod Itachi took his leave and Hari rushed off after Taiyo. An Anbu appeared next to Hari as he ran, "Ignore the guy in the mask he's a decoy, the Akatsuki are trying to free their ally in our prison please inform the Hokage!" The Anbu nodded before changing direction, Hari sped up as he felt Taiyos Chakra flare up which usually meant he activated the . Landing at a distance he saw the area surrounded in the black flame of the Amaterasu, Hari rushed in pulling a scroll out of his belt 'thank you for leaving your research old man' Hari thought as he unravelled the scroll and weaved several hand signs . As he activated the seal all the black flame in the area was absorbed into the scroll, picking it up he ran towards the sound of fighting where he found Taiyo fighting Kisame and Hidan at the same time. Luckily for the young Hyuga the two Akatsuki members weren't good at fighting together with Hidan often getting in Kisames way ending with him impailed on Samehada. "Take this!" Taiyo shouted as he perched on the impailed immortal and launched a point blank at Kisame.

Roots wrapped around Taiyo as Kisame threw a punch after Samehada had expanded itself to absorb the beam of Chakra, "That doesn't work on this guy remember!" Hari shouted with Taiyo argueing back, "How was I supposed to know it could stretch like that, from my perspective I had it pinned!" The two stopped argueing when they saw Hidan peel himself off of the shark skin blade, the two Leaf Shinobi nodded at each other as Taiyo rushes towards Hidan and Hari launched . Multiple Wood Dragon contructs launched towards Kisame and Samehada, Hari left a wood clone to keep Kisame at bay, Hari faced Itachi who had just dealt with a three men squad of Anbu. A sprouted from the ground and rushed towards Itachi, what began was a cat and mouse chase as whenever Itachi broke the basic another one sprouted quickly to take its place, an attempt to place Hari under Sharingan Genjutsu was made however Hari had his eyes closed seeing the fight throught sensory ninjutsu. "Surrender Itachi, I've perfected this technique to combat ocular Genjutsu and this Jutsu may not have much else to offer when it comes to specialisation however it costs me virtually nothing to create and control them." Looking around revealed Hidan clutching his shoulder which was obviously broken, Kisame struggling against the swarm of dragons circling as it became harder to swing the colossal sword. "Then I have but one option," A shuriken flew in Hari direction causing him to open his eyes as his technique focused on sensing chakra through the roots in the ground, in that split second his eyes were open Itachi placed Hari under Tsukuyomi. His scream of pain signalled Taiyo to retreat as a now freed Kisame sliced at him angrily, using the Taiyo was able to hit Kisame with a point blank causing the to fail and turn into a puddle on the ground.

Taiyo turned to see Hidan approaching Hari, activating he sped forward landing a on Hidan who was approaching Hari with his scythe, this sent a wave of Kaioken Chakra through the Immortal Shinobi causing him to cough up large amounts of blood as he is launched back towards Itachi. Crouching down next to Hari, Taiyo inspected his screaming friend while keeping an eye on his opponent. "Can you move Hidan?" Hidan tried to get up but his body failed him, he croaked out with spurts of blood, "THAT.. ASSHOLE... DESTROYED MY ORGANS!" Itachi heard enough as he through down a smoke bomb filled with mineral dust stopping Taiyos Byakugan from seeing through the smoke, the gust of Chakra infused wind clears the smoke showing that the enemy had escaped. A group of Jonin and Tsunade appear moments later as Taiyo was trying to stop Hari from smashing his head against the rubble, "Lady Hokage, it was Itachi Uchiha I don't know what happened he has a technique to fight Sharingan Genjutsu." Tsunade begins to heal Hari while the rest of the Leaf Shinobi secure the area, once Hari stopped shaking Tsunade turned to Taiyo who was breathing heavily, "I'm not even half way there yet.." He said, of course Tsunade knew of his goal to beat Kisame but she saw no signs of him even being there until Taiyo pointed over to a puddle, "They were Water Clones, their goal was to free Hidan and they suceeded because I was too focused on my goal... I'm sorry Lady Hokage." He stood up as more Medical Ninja arrived to take Hari and the other injured Shinobi to the Hospital.

Taiyo was punching a log when Hisashi Hyuga approached him, "Taiyo.. Lady Hokage has just informed me of what has happened." He circled around Taiyo noticing he wasn't practicing any techniques he was just punching into the log, "Son please talk to me." He placed his hand on Taiyos shoulder but he was shrugged off immediately, "Yeah like you listened to me in the past, like how you listened to Hinata and Hanabi? When we begged you not to hurt Neji or for breaks." Hisashi took a step back, Taiyo looked up at him. "Your changing, making the effort and I acknowledge that but that only came after Hinata and Neji proved themselves." He punched the log a couple more times, "I failed time and time again yet I was never made to work harder why, because I activated the Byakugan when I was born bullshit!" He cracked the bark of the log, "That was dumb luck and you know it, I work my ass off day in day out to keep up with those two and if I can't be the teammate they need." Taiyos hand pierced straight throughthe log, "My friends die..." Hisashi pulled Taiyo into a hug for the first time in years as tears began to fall down his face, a hand pulled at Taiyos shirt revealing Hanabi. Taiyo dropped and hugged his younger sister, he remembered the promise he'd made to Hisashi and the other clan elders when she was born 'IF I EVER SEE THAT CURSED PRACTICE ON HINATA OR HANABI I'LL KILL YOU ALL' the tears flowed freely as his little sister hugged him.
