Meanwhile in Konoha.
Jiraiya and Kakashi stood in front of Hiruzen. There are no more attackers alive Lord Hiruzen, Shikaharu killed all of them. Shikamaru reported that he wanted to help in the arena to protect Sasuke, but was stopped by Baki from Sunagakure.
He managed to kill him together with Sagitha Uchiha.
What did Haru say what he's up to?
He said he wants to be strong enough to bring Rura back to life.
Is something like that even possible?
I can't tell you Kakashi, I too know the borderline to the dead only too well. Orochimaru used a forbidden Jutsu to bring back the first and second Hokage, but they weren't alive.
They were just his puppets, if only I hadn't hesitated to kill Orochimaru back then, none of this would have happened and Haru wouldn't have ended up down this dark path. It's my fault.
Where is the body of Rura, if Haru finds a way, the body must be well preserved, so put it in a scroll and bring it to me for safekeeping.
At your command, lord Hokage.
Kakashi left the office.
Jiraiya I assign you to find Shikaharu Nara.
I know that Otogakure was involved in the attack, he will look there first to find Orochimaru.
Yes I think we should look for him, otherwise he might wipe out all of Otogakure to get to Orochimaru.
I know what he's capable of, when he saw you know what, I didn't get a chance to defend myself.
Sensei Sarutobi I will take Naruto and train him on the journey, is that ok?
Sure Jiraiya, with you he is in good hands.
I'm getting too old for all of this Jiraiya.
I know Sensei.
What do you know of Tsunade's whereabouts? She has not been to Konoha since the execution of Danzo and her gambling and alcohol addiction has not been eased by the truth and she still suffers from a blood phobia.
We need her help with Itachi Uchiha's illness. The doctors could not promise him a cure.
He blames himself for the fact that they got Sasuke and that Rura the beloved of the man who saved his clan from Danzo's intrigues died.
Can you send her a message that she's coming back to Konoha for Itachi?
I can try, if she hears what happened here, she might be convinced.
Well then, send her a message and go on the search for Shikaharu Nara.
At the same time in Haru's house.
Where do you think he is right now Ino?
I don't know Hiruzen said, he wants to get strong enough to revive Rura.
If only I could have finished with that baki sooner, I could have saved her.
No, Saha you couldn't help it, just like Haru.
I miss them both said Karin.
Don't worry Karin, we're here and we'll stick together until Haru gets back.
Ino then hugged the two.
But I'm also worried about Haru.
I can't imagine what he's going through right now.
Do you think he can do it all alone?
He has Ura and Ura was always the more reasonable of the two.
We should now concentrate on our tasks to distract ourselves and get our minds off things.
Ino started crying and so did the other two. Two years passed.
Haru that's the last base, we heard about, Suigetsu said.
Yes, I feel the three are inside.
They are here and have no way out.
We have killed him several times, his Jutsu is really annoying.
How do you see that Jugo?
Yeah, I'm getting tired of crushing his whole body.
Once we shut him down, what are we going to do folks?
Sui do you always have to babble so much? Oh, come on Haru, we've been through so much together.
And you still talk too much my friend.
You can come to Konoha with me, if you want and live there at my expense.
I will follow you Haru, you are the only one who can absorb the natural energy from my body, so that i dont want to kill everything.
Glad to hear that Jugo, what about you Sui?
If Jugo comes with you, I'll come to Konoha with you too, but let me have a drink before we finish them off for good.
Yes, take your time, it's not like you have to do a lot, as soon as Ura is in the complex, he paralyzes everyone.
We have learned that otherwise the snake would run away.
Ready Sui, Yugo?
Yes, you can start Haru.
I walked into the tunnel and every wall of the complex went black.
Ura has them.
I felt Ura grab them, let's go to them and end it once and for all.
I walked through the complex with the two and led them to a room, in which Orochimaru Kabuto and Sasuke were standing.
They were standing in my shadow and couldn't move.
Hello Orochimaru, I see this is your last body. And there is also the murderer of my loved one and the boy who cries that he wants to get stronger.
Shikaharu let's have a quiet talk about the whole thing.
What's your host this time parasite, male or female?
My body belonged to a boy from Otogakure. Well then Jugo or Sui, who wants the last Orochimaru?
I'll do it, you know that Jugo doesn't like to use violence.
Suigetsu pulled the Kusanagi I gave him from his back and cut off Orochimaru's head.
This sword is just great Haru, thanks for giving it to me.
Cut his stomach open there should be another one and give it to Jugo.
Sure Haru.
Sui sliced his sword into Orochimaru's body once more and pulled another Kusanagi sword from his gut.
So now I come to you Sasuke.
Ura eat the last Curse Mark from his neck and drain his entire Chakra and integrate the Chakra, with the Chakra from the Hashirama cells, into two of your Mangekyo Sharingan, but don't take my favorite eyes.
Ura clutched Sasuke and dried him out.
So and now let Kabuto speak again.
I want to hear his screams until he dies.
Yes Master.
Kabuto long time ago, how are you my old friend?
You can save that for yourself, get over with it. Ah, ah, ah, who wants to die that fast.
I held my finger to his cheek and slowly cut the skin off his face with a shadow claw, then healed it and started over.
I heard him whining please kill me.
I heard him scream in pain.
But I didn't listen to what he said and continued, until after hours of this procedure his heart stopped beating.
I feel relieved.
Sui isn't today a nice day?
I've had better ones, but it's been a while.
Well then, let's bring the shitty Sasuke back to Konoha together, I think after what he just saw, he certainly doesn't want to mess with me anymore, or do you want that Sasuke?
No, then Ura let go of him.
Ha, what a sick shit Haru and I thought Orochimaru was disturbed.
Sasuke he killed Rura, do you think i let him go pain free?
Well I bet you got strong enough.
Let's return to Konoha.
Yes, I'm coming with you, just don't do to me what you did to him.
Ura how long do you think it takes the eyes to absorb the Chakra?
I think 2 days should be enough Master.
That's good news.
Also integrate cells and Chakra into our system, so that we don't use up tons of Chakra to use them.
However, this could take longer Master.
I know, but work on it.
Jugo's natural energy has also made us significantly stronger.
I can even read minds now, if I want.
Yes Master, we are strong enough for the coming ones.
I think the same thing Ura.
How big is your main body actually.
It's hard to tell, he's about 3 km tall Master. Have you grown so much through all the Oto Nins?
Yes Master, some were delicious.
I only miss my red hair Ura.
Master, your hair turned black, because your blood became purer, actually it's a very dark red.
I know Ura, but it just looks black.
Well then let's go back to Konoha, but I gotta make a cool entrance, shall we cloak in shadow mist?
That sounds cool, as I can now completely detach the shadows from the ground and control them off the main body too, Master. Yes, let's do it, but first take us all to the entrance, we want to surprise them.
