Death & Pain

During a routine skirmish with the loyalists the 4th Mizukage revealed himself of the battlefield mowing through the rebels with little to no difficulty, Take and Haku were the first to react with Zabuza quickly following behind Haku who adopted guerilla tactics shooting Hyoton release jutsu while Take and Zabuza constantly switched with one parrying while the other attacks as Zabuza blocked an overhead slash from the 4th Haku slide between his legs doing hand seals 'Hyoton: Ice Dragon' as the ice dragon caught the 4th in its maw Haku was too late to dodge a kunai nicking her jugular causing her to almost instantly lose her momentum as she went pale attempting to slow the blood by freezing the wound

As Haku was attempting to stop the blood flowing from her neck Take with his sharingan activated couldn't get that image out of his head hoping to end this fight soon channeling 'Holy Lightning' into his short sword and his arms speeding up the speed of his attacks slowly pushing the Mizukage back as Zabuza fell back towards Haku seeing this the Mizukage smiled as he did a single hand seal

*Boom*

Before either Haku or Zabuza knew what was going on an explosion went off tearing apart Haku's body which was now impossible to recognize as Take watched one of her arms land next to him while Zabuza was quickly losing blood as 3rd degree burns scarred his body he was holding his gut he dropped to his knees Take saw out of the corner of his eye Zabuza's intestines fall out as his body slumped, Take knew it was too late for any of them but he didn't want to believe it

"Gentle Shinigami being shaken on a battlefield doesn't suit you, if I would've known they meant so much to you I would have captured them and slowly tortured them until you begged for forgiveness"

Take didn't hear any of his words his vision was already blood red and filled with hate 'Projection Of The Shinigami' a dense red aura emanated from Take's body as an ethereal figure hovered over Take's body slowly strings connected the two as the ethereal figure got dragged into Take's body which was releasing enough killing intent to make the surroundings smell of death... not fresh but old rotting bodies as screams could be heard in the surroundings akin to the cries of damned souls

Seeing Take unmoving the Mizukage smirked as he charged forward driving his blade through the heart of Take 'Yahato no Kami' like nothing happened no blood leaked from Take's body as the Mizukage went to release his sword more then half of it was missing as the remainder of the blade that exited Take fell to the ground behind him

Meanwhile Mei was running with all her energy to the battlefield that Yugao the 4th Mizukage was reported to be at behind her were almost 3 thousand shinobi ready to end this internal affair with this final battle ready to risk their lives for the rebel cause but they all froze as they felt a killing intent so strong they all felt like they were one leg into the grave despite being a few kilometers from the battlefield they all knew who this killing intent belonged to but it was never this malicious never this thick it was almost like you could see the blood in the air as the surroundings reeked of rotten bodies

Pushing forward with renewed vigor they saw a small beam of light reaching toward the heavens, the small beam no thicker then a needle seemed to brighten the whole sky when suddenly it expanded growing at a ridiculous rate the light radiating off the pillar of light blinded everyone as the light seemingly reached every corner of the world

*

(Same time Konoha)

An anbu barged into the Hokage's

"Hokage-Sama there is a beam of light reaching the heavens coming from the south east"

Standing up from his desk in a hurry he the Hokage ordered

"Investigate immediately I want the cause on my desk within the day"

Meanwhile the civilians were going mad in the streets yelling about the world ending as they hugged their family tightly

*

(Rai no Kuni)

"Raikage-Sama you see it to right..."

Softly nodding the Raikage answered

"Yes, good to know I'm not losing my mind find the person responsible for such a powerful jutsu and bring them to me immediately"

The rest of the world was much of the same as they watched the Pillar to Heaven while Mei was internally cursing as she pushed her body to the limits as she watched the light fade she saw only the aftermath hundreds of meters of land were gone as water rushed in to fill the space almost 60% of the island was gone but in the center was a pillar of land with an unconscious body laying ontop

"SEARCH FOR ANY SURVIVORS, THE LOYALISTS DIE HERE"

As she yelled out her commands she darted towards the pillar of land only to find a tear filled familiar face seeing him balled up in a fetal position with almost all of his clothes gone except for his tattered pants and a single sock she looked over the boys body only to be dumbstruck at the amount of scars marring the boys body most of them she recognized from when Take showed her his life except there was a new scar about the size of thumb over his heart with a similar wound out of his back she instantly knew this was a completely fatal attack and there was no way it could of healed that fast shaking her head to clear the thoughts she looked around for Zabuza or Haku only to find no one not a single person not even bodies were left behind

Mei knew that Zabuza and Haku both joined Take in this fight she could only imagine what happened at this point but she knew the pillar of light came from Take picking up his body as meet up with her troops

"We are returning this was both a win and a lose not only has Take killed the Mizukage but many of our fellow comrades died, for now we rest until we March on the capital in the name of the rebellion"

*

It took Take 3 days to wake up seeing this a Mizu no Kuni nin came into the tent Take seeing the Mizu forehead protector kicked off the bed he was laying on pelting the nin with a flurry of punches not giving the nin a moment of rest

"ILL KILL ALL OF YOU ALL YOU OF WORTHLESS TRASH WILL TREMBLE UNDER MY HANDS AS THEY SNUFF OUT THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES...ILL SEND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR SOULS TO THE SHINIGAMI"

Unconsciously killing intent rolled off Take's body alerting the whole camp as they rushed to the scene as a seal appeared over Take's heart

"NONE OF YOU WILL SURVIVE ILL WIPE THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH...NO ALL OF YOU WILL BE ERASED FROM THE ANNALS OF HISTORY YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR THEIR DEATHS EVERY...SINGLE...ONE...OF...YOU"

As the shinobi neared the tent they heard the yelling and pulled out their weapons as they entered the tent to see Take over a body punching a mass of flesh that was once the pour guys head looking up Take saw the shinobi and charged into the mass of them channeling 'Twilight' into his fists causing every punch to pierce the poor bodies in which they all landed by the time Mei arrived there was already a pile of body as tall as she was

"STAND DOWN GIVE HIM SOME SPACE"

Hearing the 5th Mizukage they backed up encircling Take who at this point was covered head to toe in blood as his two blood red eyes scanned them all sending shivers down their spine

"AME NO MASHS-"

Hearing what Take yelled out Mei got a horrible feeling deep in her gut telling her to stop it instantly as a white light started to form in his right eye Mei tackled him to the ground holding his hands above his head as she straddled his body trying to pin his movements as he struggled

"GET OFF OF ME ILL KILL THEM ALL... ALL OF THEM ARE GUILTY NONE OF THEM ARE WORTHY TO LIVE THEY ALL MUST PAY FOR WHA- *SMACK*"

As Mei smacked Take across the face to shout him up she yelled in his face

"THEY WOULDNT WANT YOU TO DO THIS...IF YOU CONTINUE ALL THEY DID TO HELP YOU BREAK FREE FROM THE MINDLESS WEAPON YOU USED TO BE WOULD MAKE ALL THEIR EFFORTS USELESS DONT UNDERMINE THEIR EFFORTS"

This seemed to shake Take to the core as tears started to pool in the corners of his eyes

"I..I... don't ...want ...to ...live...no more"

This seemed to hit Mei in the heart as she pulled him into an almost bone crushing hug

"I'm here for you Take...always and forever..."

Take seemed to melt into the the big as the seal faded away breaking into tears as he loudly cried the surroundings shinobi turned awkward as they watched the sappy scene some wanted the boys head for brutally murdering their comrades others for being so close to their dream girl
