Chapter 15: Rescues and Funerals 1/3

We're back! Happy Monday! Hopefully this chapter will be the boost you need to get through your long day! I wanted to get this chapter out sooner, but my concentration this weekend was just piss pour and I didn't want to deliver a sub-par chapter for you all.

The long awaited retrieval mission is finally here, I hope you all enjoy the twists and spins I put on this overdone, tired mission to try and bring something new and different while keeping to the main core/idea surrounding this epic shift in the canon storyline. The lineup is different, the leader is different, and the fights are different. If you don't like it, I'm truly sorry. As I said, I'm attempting to create a story that is both new and fresh, while keeping to the canon storyline as much as possible with all the changes I've made.

With all that being said, I'm really excited for you to read this and see what you all think!

Only one more chapter remains after this one and then we jump right into Part 2!

Ami's Bae poll will close once chapter 16 posted! You have anywhere from 1 to 3 days, depending on how inspiration strikes me for the final chapter of part 1!

Let's get to it :D

My eyes snapped open and I shot out of bed, simultaneously reaching for the kunai I kept close at all times. Eyes darted around the room and I stretched my senses out, noticing no one in the immediate vicinity. I locked onto the large chakra signature at the front of my house at the same time that the urgent banging that had initially jolted me from my sleep echoed once more. I relaxed just ever so slightly and made my way to the front door. I vaguely noticed that no one else was in the house. I knew Kono was staying with a friend, but where the heck were my mom and dad.

I opened the front door and was greeted by the sight of an ANBU agent nearly nose to mask with me. They quickly averted their gaze and took a step back.

"Ah, Chunin Yamanaka, Lord Fifth requires you in his office immediately." The ANBU rattled off. I noticed their voice was distinctly male, yet sounded quite young. Maybe only a year or two older than me.

"I've never met an ANBU agent who could get flustered before. Do you have any way of identification, Mister ANBU? I don't quite feel comfortable being one on one at" I glanced at the clock and scowled "0400 with a potential imposter." I stated, rather annoyed at the time.

"Oh, um, well you see. I have this. But, uh…" And as he pulled out his identification card he pointed down. That's when I noticed I hadn't bothered to put a single article of clothing on before answering the door. I was as naked as the day I came into the world. I verified the seal on his identification labeling him as one of Lord Fifth's personal ANBU and handed it back to him.

"Well, Parrot, I suggest if you want to make it as ANBU, you don't blush like a virgin on seeing the body of Konoha's hottest bachelor. It isn't very professional and doesn't really scream 'potential assassin' if you ask me. Please let Lord Fifth know that I will be in his office in 3 minutes."

Parrot took back his card and nodded rapidly before disappearing into the night. I shut the door and laughed to myself. Poor kid, I hope he isn't so fresh that he'll make the mistake of telling his teammates. They'll never let him live that one down.

***************************Konoha's Number 1 Bachelor**********************************

I frowned as I stared at my military commander, he returned my gaze with a completely unreadable neutral expression. Annoying. I hated how I couldn't read a damn thing on Lord Fifth's face. He was too good at this!

"So, let me get this straight one last time. It's 0500 and I still haven't had my coffee so you'll have to forgive my lack of sharp wits this morning, Lord Fifth." I said rubbing my temples. The headache had started the second I walked through the door and continued to get worse by the second. "Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha left the village at midnight?"

"That is correct." His monotone reply came.

"A newly promoted Chunin and his Genin teammate were able to just waltz out of our village and we didn't find out about it until they had been gone over three hours?" I asked in disbelief. What the hell was the barrier squad doing? That explains where dad and mom were this morning.

"The simple answer? Yes. The long answer? No. My brother has been taking his lessons with me quite serious. He was able to place illusions on all the right people to ensure they didn't raise any alarms until they had a sizeable head start." Lord Fifth shook his head in exasperation.

"I understand, I guess, why Sakura would feel the need to seek out Orochimaru. Her seal is much more advanced than Anko's, so doubt about the truth of this second stage would trouble her. Why Sasuke though? I know he cares about her, but to go through all this trouble to help her out… Something else is going on." I mused out loud.

Lord Fifth sighed. "You do your rank and clan proud, but give me more personal trouble."

I looked up at him. "What do you mean, Lord Fifth? You know something, don't you?"

He nodded. "I promised myself I wouldn't make the same mistakes as Lord Third. One of them being keeping unnecessary secrets, being so convinced that my solution was the one and only. Sasuke came to the conclusion, and I had to agree with him, however begrudgingly, that this was all the beginnings of a trap to lure Sasuke to him."

"So you sprung it early." I concluded. "Why though? Sasuke and Sakura are strong, yes. But this is Orochimaru. We have no idea what plans within plans he has."

"I trust them." Lord Fifth replied simply. "I had to take that leap of faith. The determination and Will of Fire they both showed convinced me to let them go. If I cannot trust my troops, we are doomed from the beginning."

"Understood, sir. Then may I ask why I'm here?" I saluted.

"We may have sprung the trap, but we still have to play our part." He replied ominously. "I trust the two of them, and I believe in them, but as you put it, Orochimaru is one of the most cunning and sly opponents on the planet. We have to give them every advantage they can have."

"Meaning what, sir?" I asked, the ominous feeling in my stomach growing by the second.

"We have to fight tooth and nail to get them back. I will send a retrieval team after them that you will lead. You are the only one allowed to know the truth. The rest will think that they are going after two comrades who abandoned their village." He told me truthfully.

My insides burned. "I mean no disrespect, Lord Fifth, but you are doing to Sasuke and Sakura exactly what Lord Third did to you, are you not?" I hissed, barely containing my anger.

He nodded his head. "In a sense. I make the village believe that they are traitors so that they may infiltrate one of our village's greatest enemies? Is that what you mean?"

I nodded, unable to trust my voice.

"Had that been my original mission, I would have taken it with a smile on my face. Sasuke and Sakura are leaving the village labeled as missing nin for the sake of a top-secret mission. I left my village for a top-secret mission with the label traitor AND kin slayer. I brutally murdered innocent men, women and children before fleeing into the night. Sasuke and Sakura tricked a few guards and left. To me, that doesn't seem at all like the mission I was given. Does it seem similar to you?" He asked, eyes hard and voice cold.

I shook my head. "No, Lord Fifth. Forgive my impudence. I just worry for my friends. They're not even a year out of the academy and they're infiltrating one of the most dangerous person on the planet's base. I'm much better suited for this type of mission and just the thought daunts even me." The feelings of fear, guilt, and simmering anger warring with each other.

"I understand. Do not think for a moment I didn't hate every single word that came out of my mouth when I gave them this mission. It was the first of many hard decisions I will have to make as Hokage. However, I will put my faith in them. Do you know why?"

I shook my head once more. Mind still spinning.

"Because they asked me to do this." His voice softening a bit.

I locked eyes with the youngest Kage in mild shock. "They did?"

He nodded. "Well, Sakura did. She wants to prove her worth and loyalty to the village. Regardless if the team sent by Orochimaru was lying or not, she wanted to take this mission and prove to herself and her peers her strength. Sasuke couldn't let his woman go on such a dangerous mission alone." He smirked at the end, causing much of the tension I'd been feeling to ease.

I smiled slightly. "Then, I must help them succeed in any way that I can. Tell me what I must do, Lord Fifth."

He smiled and bent over his desk, profiles of his troops scattered about. We spent the next 30 minutes quickly making plans. Minute by minute the apprehension crawled back into my shoulders. If I made one wrong move I could lay suspicion at my comrade's feet. If I did that, they may never make it home to clear their names as living shinobi.

**********************************Kenta in Serious Mode*********************************

I eyed the team that had been assembled especially for this retrieval mission. Each person had been briefed the same story we were going to tell the public. Sakura Haruno became a missing ninja in order to unlock the potential of the seal on her neck. She had kept hidden the whispers of power that had been growing with increasing volume. Sasuke Uchiha attempted to stop her single handedly but was then forced to join in on abandoning his village in exchange for Sakura's life. It sounded weak in my mind, but with Anko's cursing about how she should have known, it helped bring a certain credibility to the story.

The plan was simple. Lord Fifth had one of his raven's follow the group since their departure. We were to rendezvous with the summoned animal and it would guide us right to the enemy team. I was confident in the team we had put together. Our generations best and brightest. Each had a skillset that was complementary to the team, yet each could hold their own in a one on one fight.

Naruto Uzumaki, Fú, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, Ami Kogure and Myself. All capable of the long distance speed we would have to maintain in order to gain on the enemy. I glanced at our 6th member who had a special assignment. Haku Yuki would be traveling with us about halfway before breaking off for his own unique mission. During their escape, the Oto group encountered a team of Konoha ninja are their way back from an S-Rank mission. Tired and injured, they were able to not only hold up the enemy team for over an hour, but forced them to show their full strength in order to eventually overpower and defeat them. The delay would be just enough for our group to catch up and intercept.

The worry in my stomach was tenfold though after hearing who the two Konoha Jonin were. Raido Namiashi and Genma Shiranui. Our team 11 captain was gravely wounded just hours away from home. The rational part of my mind knew that Sakura and Sasuke weren't actually missing ninja and that they didn't raise a hand against their comrades, but the irrational side of me wanted to beat them to within an inch of their life for letting it happen in front of them. Haku must have sensed the worry from team 11 for he spoke up first.

"Naruto, Ami, Kenta. I promise that I will do everything in my power to stabilize your captain and his teammate. My education is basic, and I just became Tsunade's apprentice, but my job is to redner basic first aid while an experienced team of medics is assembled and a guard is rounded up for them. If the worst should happen, I have stasis scrolls for both of them. Please, focus on your mission. You cannot afford to let your minds wander. You opponents were strong enough to take down two special jonin. Two special Jonin that were tired and injured, but still neither of them weak." His soft and kind voice reassured us. It helped me, and by the looks of mild relief on Naruto and Ami's faces it probably helped them as well. I nodded and steeled myself.

"Haku is right. Game faces, ladies and gentleman. Lord Fifth's raven got some valuable Intel from that fight. We have basic information on each of the opponent's we are likely to face. You were all selected for your ability to counter at least one of the opponents. Now, let's move out! Even with the little over an hour Genma and Raido were able to buy us, our enemy still has a four-hour head start. Let's move! We have no time to waste. We bring Sasuke and Sakura back, kicking and screaming if we have to!

And with that, the 6 of us bolted into the trees, the mad dash to intercept our enemy before they crossed the borders was on.

*************************************Boom Boom**************************************

We had been running at a steady pace for nearly 7 hours now. Haku had left us 4 hours ago, with more assurances that Genma and Raido would be alive and well, awaiting our successful return. I had called multiple short breaks to ensure we didn't end up in a fight with an exhausted team. Neji suddenly called out in alarm.

"I see them! 1km at our 12 o-clock. They seem to be resting and have yet to notice our approach." He talked quickly but quietly. I called a halt.

"Neji, do you see Sakura and Sasuke?" I asked.

He squinted his eyes, focusing his Byakugan. "I see Sasuke, but I see no sign of Sakura. There is a barrel though that my Byakugan cannot pierce. If I had to guess, I would say she is in there."

I nodded and thought for a moment. I quickly devised a plan and relayed it to my team. Everyone agreed and we made our move.

**********************************Operation Begin**************************************

"Dynamic Entry!" Lee's voice cried out, leg making contact with the large Orange haired teen's head. The fatty was thrown back several feet and Lee made a quick retreat.

"Fire Release: Fanning Flame Formation!"

"Wind Release: Fanning Flame Formation!"

Naruto and Ami released the combination technique the two had been working on for weeks. Ami uses the 'Phoenix Flower Technique' and blankets an area, while Naruto's 'Breakthrough' technique fans the flames and increase the melon sized fireballs into much larger and dangerous ones. The results were as intended. The rest of those in the camp scattered.

'Yamanaka Clan Technique: Mind-Body Disturbance' I thought to myself, taking aim at the androgynous looking pale skinned male. As soon as the technique connected I knew something was off. I attempted to force him to stab the 6-armed male directly in his line of sight. Only half his body seemed to cooperate. I quickly ended my technique, knowing it was a waste of chakra at this point.

"What the absolute shit, Kidomaru?! I thought you said you could detect anyone in a 1km radius with that gross butt thread you release!" A crimson haired woman screamed out.

The large teen had recovered and regrouped with his teammates. "Now Tayuya that is no way for a lady to talk." His bass voice rumbled.

"Fuck you, Fat Ass! You got taken out too fast. You need to train more!" She yelled at the mammoth teen.

Naruto's eyes glazed over and a flash of… something was there and gone within the same instant. His mouth dropped open and he pointed at the crimson haired potter mouth.

"YOU! You're an Uzumaki!" He screamed. The entire clearing went silent.

The girl paused only a moment before sneering. "Listen, kid. Not everyone with red hair is an Uzumaki. I'm an orphan. No last name, no past, no history."

"No, I know you are an Uzumaki. My blood is calling to you! My name is Naruto Uzumaki, son of Kushina Uzumaki, grandson of Korinna Uzumaki, the last Uzukage of Uzushio! I'm the last line of the royals. I know you're an Uzumaki. It's my bloodline. Your blood sings to me, and I can hear it. Your blood sings loud, you're nearly pure blooded!" He said, voice laced with an authority and confidence I didn't know the boy possessed.

"Naruto, how do you know this? You never mentioned a bloodline. Was it in your grandmother's journal?" Ami asked in concern. The boy shook his head.

"Remember that day I asked Kenta what sensing felt like? What he described didn't help me, but I felt the faint singing in my blood that day. An Uzumaki was leaving Konoha that day, I just didn't know what it was at the time. Now, staring this girl in the face? It's just… I don't know how to explain how I know, I just do. It's like an instinct or something." He explained, brow furrowed.

"Well regardless how you know, it's irrelevant. She is an enemy and a subordinate to Orochimaru. She's a dead woman walking." I growled out.

"NO!" Naruto yelled, surprising me. "I mean, please, Kenta. Let's capture her, let Anko and Aunt Tori question her. Anything. I cannot let you kill my clan member though without a valid reason. For all we know she could be being blackmailed or forced to work for him."

I was about to agree before the dumb woman opened her mouth. "Psh. As if, dumbass! I willingly work for Master Orochimaru. He's given me power, in return I serve as one of his high lieutenants. We are the sound four! I am Tayuya of the North!" She boasted proudly.

"Jirobo of the South" Fatty said calmly.

"Kidomaru of the East" 6-arms states.

"And I am Sakon of the West." The pale boy stated with a smirk.

I looked at Naruto, and his eyes were pleading. "Very well." I spoke quietly to my team only. "Listen, Naruto really wants to capture this girl and bring her back with us. I say it's stupid, however she is a higher up in Orochimaru's troops. We can probably get valuable information from her. If we can, capture her alive. The rest, I want their bodies cold and stiff by sunset. We cannot allow such dangerous opponents to live and potentially hurt us in the future." My entire team nodded in agreement. Naruto discreetly passed out charkra suppressant seals, paralysis seals, and prisoner transport scrolls to the team. It seems the sound four were done waiting and playing games with us.

"Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness!" The large teen called out, hands palm down on the earth. Before any of us could react, we were engulfed in darkness.

"Cocky brats. Jirobo, you stay here and drain them dry. We will continue on. Meet up with us once you are finished." Kidomaru order. Jirobo nodded and focused back on the dome of earth.

"Shit." I hissed out. I stretched my senses and cursed again. Every inch of this place was laced with enough chakra to block out my senses entirely. Naruto withdrew a seal and activated it. A small but surprisingly bright light covered every inch of the dome. "This dome is sucking our chakra at an impressive rate. Within 10 minutes those of us who aren't a Jinchuriki will more than likely be at dangerous levels. We need a plan and fast. Fú, Lee, see if you can break out."

They both nodded and each went to a side of the dome and hit it for all they were worth. Both put sizeable dents but the wall repaired itself almost instantly. I nodded to myself, theory confirmed.

"Neji, this Jirobo was last sighted here" I pointed to the direction I mean. "Focus all your efforts and see if you can verify his position. Naruto, do you have a seal that you can use on these walls that won't be drained immediately and can do some type of damage to it?"

Naruto nodded and smiled brightly. "You bet I do! I just finished developing this a few weeks ago. It's a breech seal. You place it, and pumped a quick burst of chakra into it manually. The seal will then boost the amount and fire off a concentrated blast at the back of the tag."

I smiled in triumph and turned to Neji. He had a look of complete concentration and then nodded. "I can barely make him out, but I managed to find him."

"Naruto, give Neji the tag. Neji, place the tag directly where his head is located. Then stand back and rest your eyes. Naruto, on three, detonate that tag and pull the hand back if you don't want a hole through it." I order. Both boys complied, Neji placed the tag about 2m off the ground. "Naruto, you ready?"

The boy nodded. "Whatever you're planning, if I get injured I'll heal in time. Just say when."

"On three then." I said and withdrew a senbon. This one was slightly different than the ones I typically use to administer my poisons. It was longer, thicker, and best of all? Chakra conductive metal.

"One"

Naruto placed his hand on the seal, I molded my chakra.

"Two"

Naruto held up a half ram seal and closed his eyes. I converted my chakra and directed it to the piece of metal I was holding. The lightning chakra began to spark dangerously in my hand.

"Three!"

"Detonate!" Naruto called out as I hurled the electrically charged senbon right where the tag used to be. The results were instantaneous. A large, concentrated explosion blew out the back of the tag, the smallest light of the sun peeking through. A cry of surprise and pain was cut off quicker than the tiny hole could repair itself. The result was instant. The chakra in the air that had been interfering with my sensing quickly receded. I nodded at Fú and with an effortless punch, she tore right through the dome of earth. We stepped back out into the light.

The orange haired boy was on the ground. A perfectly circular hole had been drilled directly between his eyes. He lay flat on his back, eyes lifeless and unblinking stared towards the canopy of trees. A pool of blood was slowly gathering where he lay. I looked around at my team, gauging their chakra levels. Lee was the only one who had been affected. His Chakra was abysmal but was steadily growing. It amazes me how quick some medics are to give up on people because it's "just like the other cases." I threw a pill at him.

"Eat that. It's a special Yamanaka recipe. It still tastes like butt, but it's less harsh on your body. It stimulates your body's natural ability to recover chakra. Unlike the solider pill which loads your body with neutral chakra, causing strain on your pathways." I said absently, looking around the clearing and trying to ascertain where the enemy fled to.

"That is quite impress, Lt Kenta. Why are these not available to the general public?" Neji asked politely.

I couldn't help the small smile that formed at being called Lieutenant. It was a nice feeling, one I could get used to. "They're made from rare and exotic plants. The supply is much smaller than the demand. We reserve them for the Hokage to distribute to his troops for high ranking priority missions." Was the short reply. He nodded at the brief answer, understanding dawning on his face. It meant missions like these. Where time was of the essence and it needed to be done yesterday. I finally caught the faintest lingering of chakra from the direction we were originally moving. It seems as though they were also in a race against time. I tossed one of the special pills to each of my team members. "Use them if you need to. It'll keep you going for 24 hours straight, but your body will crash afterwards. Solider pills can last up to 3, but going that long on those will leave you hospitalized for at least a week. These you just need a good night's sleep. Now, the enemy seems to be in a rush. They're continuing on the same path, fleeing as quickly as possible to Rice Paddy Country. We have less than three hours to finish our mission before they cross the border. If they are able to do that, our mission is a failure as we have no clearance to be in another countries territory. Let's move!

**********************************Go, Go Kenta Rangers!********************************

Though we had initially started to gain our opponents, our presence didn't go unnoticed this time and our way forward was being hampered. More and more sticky, white threads began to box us in and limit our movements the closer we got. We eventually burst through a particularly dense section of canopy only to be caught, midair in the enemies trap.

"Well, well, well. The little insects took care of Jirobo quicker than expected. It's no matter, he was by far the weakest member. I, Kidomaru, will be your opponent. You cannot escape my threads once you're in their grasp. I'm going to hold you here before finishing you off. I've been told I play with my food too much, but we have the time now." The 4 armed boy stepped out of the shadows and onto a branch high in the air, cocky smirk planted firmly in place. His eyes widened though as the 5 of us gracefully fell to the branch just below us. Neji had easily cut through the threads, and the threads surrounding Fú just seemed to snap.

"I will take him on. We have no time to delay. Go, now. I am the only one who can see his threads and cut them with ease." Neji stated with confidence. I opened my mouth to agree before Fú cut me off.

"Neji, you go with them. This little spider needs a lesson on who the apex predator of the insectoid kingdom is." Fú spoke up in a serious tone.

"But Lady Fú, my Byagukan-"

"Is a valuable tool the team still needs. Chomei's chakra is corrosive to his threads. They cannot even hold me. I'm the better opponent." She spoke up, eyes blazing. "Though the species of insects known as the Dynastinae are generally harmless and complete herbivores, they're the strongest insect in the world. Some species being able to life 850 times their own weight."

Well, that explains the super strength I thought with slight fear for the petite girl. I was about to protest and order Neji to fight and then I remembered Lord Fifth's words. Sometimes you have to put your personal feelings aside and trust your troops.

"Fú, are you 100% confident that you can take him?" I asked, boyfriend mode out the door, right now I was asking as her commanding officer.

She turned towards me and smiled brightly before giving me a quick kiss. "Absolutely. Chomei and I will squash this spider and rejoin the group before you know it."

I mulled the decision over once more before nodding and turning to Neji. "Fú can handle him. Plus, I think your abilities are better suited for the remaining two. Let's trust Fú and move on."

Neji agreed hesitantly before taking off with Naruto and Ami after they wished Fú luck. My eyes followed them before turning back to Fú.

"Listen to me Fú. He's a lieutenant in Orochimaru's army. Do not ever underestimate him until his heart stops beating. Come back to me, safe and sound. That's an order." I tried smiling at the end but it came out as more of a grimace.

Fú was able to flash that blinding smile at me and wink. "Trust me, Lt Kenta. I don't need a knight in shining armor to save me. It's nice, but I'd much rather prefer to stand side by side with my knight. I'll come back to you, I swear it." Her eyes blazed with such a fiery determination it took everything in my power not to grab her and whisk her away to a dark corner right there.

"Then kick his ass. You don't want to miss the rest of us beating down the rest of these idiots." I said, able to slightly smile this time. She nodded and turned her full attention back to her opponent. I took off after my teammates.

****************************Fú Bae Gunna Kick Spidey's Ass********************************

Fú met her opponent's eyes and snarled. Her chakra thrummed just beneath the surface, ready to answer her call. The 6-armed boy smiled confidently at her.

"Why did you just allow my teammates to continue on? I thought you said you were to hold us as long as possible." The kind voice of Fú was replaced by the hardened voice of a Kunoichi of Konoha.

He shrugged. "Once I'm done playing with you, I now have the back of your teammates. I can pick them off while they engage my other teammates. It's a win in my book." He then began to change slightly. Twisting and intertwining lines began to cover the boy from head to toe. Fú's scowl deepened, knowing he was activating his curse mark. The boy slammed both hands on the ground and a plume of smoke erupted above Fú.

"Summoning Technique: Kyodaigumo!"

A spider larger than a wagon appeared and began to rain down 1000s of tiny spiders. The smaller spiders began to unleash their silky threads over the entire area. Kidomaru smirked as he watch Fú and the entire area became a giant trap. He dismissed his summon as she wasn't exactly a battle type. The field was set, this match was over. Kidomaru smirked in victory. His confidence was short lived though as a worried frown replaced his grin of triumph. As he watch, the 1000s of threads that had covered and trapped the girl simply fell away as if burnt. Normal fire wasn't usually enough to burn his threads as his chakra saturated them.

"As I said, my chakra is corrosive to your threads. The second they make contact with my skin, they erode away. Hopefully you aren't a one trick pony or this battle is already over." The mint haired girl called. Not boasting, plain truth. Kidomaru scowled before his eyes widening in alarm. A thick and fast moving strand of the own girls thread was within striking distance. He dodged to the side and felt a sense of panic in his gut. The girl was now smirking, hand held on the monkey seal.

"Water Release: Water Whip!" Fú called out, the whip of water lashing out with blinding speeds. She had aimed it right where Kidomaru was escaping from her previous technique. The whip snaked around the teen's wrist and with a powerful tug, he was sent rocketing directly towards Fú.

Fú cocked her arm back and with inhuman speeds sent her fist crashing into the 6-armed boy's face. The sound of cartilage breaking and bones grinding was her reward. Just as quickly as he was pulled towards Fú, he was now rocketing back, crashing painfully into the trunk of a large Oak.

"It's a shame really." Came Fú's voice from much further than Kidomaru was expecting. "You thought because you have that abomination on your neck from Orochimaru that it meant you were special. If you had still only realized you were nothing more than a common house spider, you may yet live to see tomorrow. A non-threat to humans, you made the mistake of thinking you were a predator spider, when in fact, you hide in the dark and feed on the weak." Fú's eyes were blazing and her voice was hard as iron. "I am the Jinchuriki of the 7-tailed Beetle. Though Chomei was given the appearance of a giant Atlas Beetle, she is in fact queen of ALL insects. You sealed your fate when you thought you were tough enough to play with your food."
