Torifu walked up to Naori and gently kissed her on the forehead.
"Naori, let's go home together."
Then, his vision turned to black, and his consciousness vanished. He fell onto the surface of the sea and slowly sank into the depths.
At that moment, Naori's expression was still very blank, but a tear quietly fell. A wave of extreme pain rushed into her mind. Boundless sadness instantly filled Naori's heart. At the same time, a mysterious chakra began to gather in her eyes.
"No... Torifu... no."
Tears fell uncontrollably, and her expression gradually became one of deep sorrow. A crimson color gradually covered the pale-blue in her eyes! She suddenly turned her head, and a pair of eyes stared at Rain, who was pierced by the crystal spikes. Naori's consciousness became clear as her sorrow and anger broke through the shackles of control. Her Three-Tomoe Sharingan continuously spun and finally transformed into a cloverleaf shape!
"Mangekyō Sharingan, is this the price of activating it..."
Naori ignored the painful screams of Rain and jumped directly into the sea, swimming toward the sinking Torifu. The water was incredibly clear, and the sunlight shone into the sea, making everything look very ethereal, but Naori had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She was swimming toward Torifu with all her might. The blood flowing out of Torifu's body attracted the sharks in the sea, but they were scared away by a single glance from Naori.
Finally, Naori managed to firmly hold Torifu just as he was about to fall to the bottom of the sea. His many wounds were continuously bleeding black blood, and even his robe, which had never been sullied, was now torn and dirty. Naori held Torifu with one hand and gently kissed his forehead. Her eyes then became resolute!
A massive chakra burst out of Naori's body! The fish that were attracted by the blood instantly scattered in shock! A scarlet skeleton enveloped Naori and Torifu! Then, muscles and flesh grew along the skeleton! A scarlet giant appeared at the bottom of the sea! This was Naori's Susanoo! Its appearance was almost identical to Naori's, and its brows were filled with heroic spirit!
Naori, holding Torifu, shot out of the sea! This created an immense tidal wave! Rain was currently pierced and restrained by the crystal spikes and couldn't move at all. Only his eyes could still move. He couldn't understand why Naori had broken his control. Even though he was seriously injured, his control ability hadn't weakened at all! 'How is this possible!'
Naori held Torifu and stood firmly on the surface of the sea. A massive pressure enveloped the entire sea. But Hiruzen and the others were still under Rain's control. Although Rain couldn't move or give orders, they had yet to complete the command to capture Torifu! The moment they saw Torifu, they immediately attacked Naori!
Naori's expression was serious. Even though the activation of her Mangekyō Sharingan had greatly increased her strength, her opponents were even stronger ninjas, and one of them was her own older brother. She couldn't afford to be careless! She had to free them from their control first, and she could do so now.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A massive fan-shaped flame shot out from Naori's mouth, engulfing all the enemies in front of her. This did stop Hiruzen and the others, but it wasn't enough to hurt them. Naori then controlled her Susanoo to pull out the katana in its hand! With a single slash, it split the sea in two! Kagami used his incredible speed to Body Flicker and dodge the attack, but Danzō and Hiruzen were pushed back by the waves. But this was the result Naori needed.
She found an opportunity and used her Sharingan to predict Kagami's movements. She used her Susanoo to grab Kagami and held him firmly in its hand. She then brought him to her. At this moment, Kagami was struggling to break free from the Susanoo's grip. Kagami's strength was a little greater than Naori's right now, but because he was being controlled, he couldn't use his Sharingan and could only rely on the power of his Tailed Beast. This made things much easier.
"Yomi Mina-sei no Jutsu."
A dazzling light shot out from Naori's eyes, went directly into Kagami's eyes, and hit his brain! The pain caused Kagami to grunt. His mind then gradually became clear, and the pale-blue in his eyes slowly disappeared.
"What's going on... Naori?" Kagami was completely confused and had no memory of being controlled. But when he looked around and saw the Sharingan in Naori's eyes, he was shocked! "Naori! You activated the Mangekyō Sharingan! When did this happen!" He then noticed Torifu, who was covered in wounds and continuously bleeding, in Naori's arms.
Naori controlled her Susanoo to put Kagami on the ground and said, "Nii-san, Torifu has been poisoned. You should have an antidote. Please give it all to me."
Kagami immediately threw his ninja pouch to Naori. "Although I don't know what's going on, Hiruzen and the others are being controlled, aren't they? Torifu got like this to save us." "Hurry and give Torifu the medicine. I'll take care of Hiruzen and Danzō!" Even though Kagami had just regained consciousness, he saw the blue in Hiruzen and Danzō's eyes and knew they were being controlled. And they were still rushing toward Naori!
"My old friends, it's time for a sparring match again!" Kagami immediately activated his Susanoo. A blue-purple giant appeared on the surface of the sea, blocking the attacks from Hiruzen and Danzō.
With Kagami's help, the pressure on Naori was greatly relieved. She used a specific method to open Kagami's ninja pouch and took out all the antidotes. She gave some to Torifu orally and applied the rest directly to his wounds. Although she didn't know if the medicine could cure Rain's poison, this was her only chance. Naori then wanted to use a healing jutsu to heal Torifu's wounds, but she found that she wasn't very good at it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Koharu and Homura, who had just been freed. Ignoring Homura, Naori grabbed Koharu directly. Koharu was much easier to deal with than Kagami. She was easily captured, and Naori once again used the Yomi Mina-sei no Jutsu to free her from her control.
"Naori... what's wrong with me? My head hurts so much."
Naori put Koharu into her Susanoo. "Nee-san, I'll explain everything later. Just heal Torifu for now."
When Koharu heard what Naori said, she realized Torifu was also there. "What! What happened! Let me see!" Koharu carefully examined him and then let out a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, the injuries aren't too severe. Only the stab wound on his shoulder went deep into the bone."
Naori's expression became dejected. "Nee-san, I did this. I was the one who stabbed Torifu."
Koharu patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Torifu is just unconscious. He'll be fine. Leave all the injuries to me, and I'll make sure to heal him."
[T/N: I don't know if it's Homura or Oyashiro En, the MTL keeps typing En, but i don't remember him being part of this team. Currently sticking with Homura, but if it is validated later that it is En, i apologize in advance :)]
