Meanwhile with the ten Genji clones.
A few minutes before separating from the real Genji and narrowly dodging the tsunami of sand that Shukaku caused. The clones headed a different path to avoid attracting the attention of shinobi from other villages who might attack them.
As they continued their advances they heard movements not far from them, so they stopped to hide.
A shadow passed by, causing the clones to relax a bit and continue on their way to the village hospital.
As they ran for a few kilometers, they again heard movements behind them, but this time they knew that they had been detected by someone and without wanting to know who was chasing them.
The clones shook their heads knowing that they could not escape by carrying their three companions, so two Genji clones separated from Sakura and Shino.
A clone holding Sakura's waist retreats to move a different path and you trick the pursuer of her while he created some fake marks from the tree branches.
Another clone that holds Shino by one of the ankles stops to buy time, while the other clones flee the place as fast as they can.
Clone A who tried to confuse his pursuer hears small noises a few meters from him and with a smile decides to hide a bit while setting simple traps to find out who was chasing him.
Meanwhile, the clone B that stopped his movements, waits on the branch of a tree using the leaves as camouflage and is ready to fight to the death against his enemy.
"You better get out." ?? A silent voice told him.
Clone B knew that he was discovered and he only had to fight the best he could to give the other clones of him enough time.
Clone B jumped off the branch and landed gently on the ground with his hands using Haki, ready to fight his enemy, while he hid some strands of wire to set off a trap.
"If I can't defeat him at least I'll use explosive tags to do a lot of damage and stop him from chasing my clones." I plan clone B.
"You can be calm Genji." He told her by showing his face when he came out of the shadow of a branch.
He wore black sunglasses with an oval shape and a long-necked jacket that covered his mouth. The hair he cut from him had a pointed shape and a small mustache that almost did not exist, but what he highlighted was the small round pumpkin where some insects returned.
Clone B was about to attack as he thought it might be an enemy that uses a transformation jutsu and resembles a shinobi from his village, but seeing the insects returning to the pumpkin was proof enough to know that he was a member of the Aburame Clan.
"You may not know me, my name is Shibi Aburame."
"Genji Shimada".
The two introduced themselves while sharing information and clone B told him that his clones had a clan member from him. By giving him the name Shino, the shinobi named Shibi has been slightly altered by the situation of his son but does not show it on his face.
Shibi didn't want to let someone track down Genji's clones, much less his son in bad shape, so the two of them jumped through the trees in the direction of the other clones.
..
.
Returning to Genji.
Genji watched as he kept lowering the counter and hoped to distract Shukaku enough to make his attack.
Shukaku couldn't take Genji's nonsense anymore, so he inflated his stomach to launch a wind jutsu.
Genji seeing that Shukaku would not wait long enough decided to grab Naruto and carry him like a sack to run away using bringer light, avoiding the huge air sphere that cut down many trees and even disappeared a small mountain that was behind Genji.
When Genji appeared, he decided to hide in a tree branch to buy enough time to attack with his ability.
However, he had to jump again from branch to branch when he saw how a claw of Shukaku chased him, while shukaku prepared his wind jutsu again, but this time with wind spheres of reduced size.
The devastation continued for a few seconds as Genji was fleeing as best he could from Shukaku very annoyed.
Genji disappeared again while running aimlessly. Shukaku and Genji are slowly retreating from the village while the counter was getting closer to the number zero.
[20 seconds… 19 seconds… 18 seconds… 17 seconds].
Genji started to get tired from using bringer light four times, but he had to backtrack like this by avoiding some of Shukaku's hands.
Shukaku's huge body was a bit slow, but he could catch up with Genji in no time because of his huge body, but if it weren't for the fact that he reached out every time.
Genji disappeared from the place with a green glow and appeared again several kilometers away.
Shukaku became annoyed at not being able to catch Genji.
The next time Genji disappeared from the place, he made some hand signals and caused some small sand hands to come out of his body that was chasing Genji through much of the forest.
Genji was a few seconds away from the completion of the technique, but the last seconds were the most difficult because Shukaku would not stop attacking him with small hands of sand that made it difficult for him to move.
He even resorted to having to defend himself against the little sandy hands with his hands using Haki.
[5 seconds… 4 seconds… 3 seconds].
Seeing that there were only a second left for this to end, Genji prepared to disappear with his ability and be a few meters from Shukaku's body, since he did not know how strong his attack would be, but it should be powerful when he needed the chakra of Naruto with almost 4 tails of Kurama to activate.
Genji noticed that a light was forming in his hand when he sensed that there were 2 seconds left so he raised his hand to point at Shukaku and hope that everything turned out well.
Shukaku, noticing that Genji disappeared again, was caught off guard by the sudden light that Genji had in his hand.
In Genji's hand, a magenta-colored sphere formed with some dark red lightning bolts gathering around the sphere. Some sparks were appearing as they joined with the small lightning bolts that crackled as they fused all the power within the sphere.
The next moment Genji tensed abruptly from the power he felt in his palm.
At an impressive speed, the scratch in his hand turned into a small streak that pierced Shukaku's body, and the streak expanded enough to disintegrate Shukaku's body leaving only Shukaku's sandy forehead.
* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *.
The explosion that caused Genji's attack was so intense that it swept away everything in its path leaving a wide line of thousands of kilometers with an intense amount of wind.
The shinobi who were still fighting in the village, warned their companions when they saw a shock wave approaching that collapsed some buildings in the village and sent some shinobi that were close to the explosion to blow up.
The whole place is completely silent and the dust has been mirroring a bit.
The clouds that are present in the sky were gathering due to the change in temperature in the environment that quickly formed a huge black cloud that would begin to rain in the place.
Genji who launched the attack was wide-eyed when he saw how everything disappeared, leaving him scarred by the tremendous destructive power that the ability caused.
He even forgot that Naruto was on his shoulder and dropped him to the ground seeing all the destruction he caused.
Genji lay down on the ground feeling all the fatigue from the continued use of his chakra followed by using bringer light several times.
While he was looking at the dark sky he was surprised to hear how a person came out of the small piece of land that was left from Shukaku's remains. This would be considered too lucky for Gaara to walk with unsteady steps before falling to the ground and trying to get up again.
"If I had launched the attack at a further distance, I'm sure Gaara would be disintegrated by zero." Genji thought as he watches Gaara walk in his direction as he falls again.
Gaara didn't know how he managed to defeat Shukaku, so he looked at Genji for a few seconds.
- Why is it so strong? -. Gaara wondered as he kept looking at Genji and searching for an explanation for what happened.
Gaara who slept inside the head of sand in Shukaku lost all control of his own body, but still, he could see and hear everything through Shukaku who controlled his body and see how Genji managed to defeat him with a powerful jutsu.
He left Gaara absorbed by the force of him and caused him to raise some questions about how he can be so strong and even when his sister managed to make him suffer from pain seeing that it was all a lie.
Genji spoke up, waking Gaara from his thoughts, "You know Gaara… That look you have on your face is something that possibly I had knowing that it was all a hoax on Temari's part! I don't know, how to describe it, but it's a look where you hope this is all a bad dream! " His voice was regretful.
Genji told him when looking at the sky that he was starting to drop small drops of water and continue talking, "When I realized that it was all a lie, I felt like killing you Gaara, but I realized that I was possibly naive of my part to think there might be something between me and Temari. "
Gaara looked at him without knowing where he wanted to go with this conversation since he was a person of few words.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!". Gaara spoke to him in a loud voice.
"KILL MANY PEOPLE IN YOUR VILLAGE BY ALLOWING MY INNER DEMON TO LEAVE, I MADE MY SISTER HURT YOU WITH A FALSE MARRIAGE AND I TRY TO KILL YOUR COMPANIONS! WHY ARE YOU THANKING ME ?! WHY NOT? YOU HATE ME?!".
Gaara aggressively complained to Genji without understanding what was happening to him and why she did not hate him like all people.
With a bitter laugh, Genji looked away from the sky to look at Gaara, "Did you kill many people? Right! But possibly I did the same with my last attack. Did Temari hurt me? Right! But at the same time, It taught me that I don't easily trust people. Killing my teammates? Right! But you forced me to take action against you and save them. "
Genji paused for a moment as he shook his head as left some thoughts behind and the drops of water began to soak up the remains of his clothes.
"I always thought it was hypocritical to save people I do not know as if I was a hero who threw away his life for people he did not know ... Seeing that almost my best friend and partner were about to die, something clicked in me! and it didn't allow me to surrender to Shukaku, no matter how many times my brain told me to run away and leave everything behind! "
Genji slowly used one of his hands to try to get up and walk with slow steps to his friend Naruto, "If you see it one way, what is the difference between the two of us? The answer is that ... There isn't, since we are identical, as all the people around us on this planet. People who possibly consider us monsters or demons, when there are people who commit atrocities worse than ours! ".
Genji kneels on the ground when he feels a little pain in his head from receiving the experience of two of his clones, but that does not allow him to stop his words as he turns to look at Gaara.
"Thank you very much for making me see things differently Gaara and changing my thoughts because I have important friends for me and I have to act more carefully if I want to protect them in the future."
Gaara is speechless by what Genji told him, as it is the first time that he feels someone thanking him from the heart.
I also teach him that it doesn't matter is a monster, if the world was full of monsters, something that starts to make sense to him and most important of all. It is that he did it intending to protect what is important to him.
"Protect and accept who I am," Gaara muttered at the thought of Genji's words.
As Gaara reasons the words, he remembers his uncle's words a bit, but Genji interrupts his thoughts by asking him something.
"What did you mean by a fake marriage?" He asks Genji feeling confused about a fake marriage.
Gaara looks at him without understanding what he's talking about but finds his question a bit silly. However before he began to speak, two shadows descend from a tree branch.
"GAARA!" His two brothers approach the wounded body of his brother.
Kankuro and Temari look at the destruction that took place on the ground, but they don't take their eyes off his brother.
When Temari finished looking at the wounded body of his brother, she looks with surprise followed by a deep sadness for the state of Genji that had his body a red color just like his companion who was next to him.
His condition looked very bad as did his brother Gaara, he tried to say a few words, but he didn't know how to react to lying to Genji, so he just lowered his head trying not to see his eyes of Genji.
Temari was at first glad to know that he did not die, but she understood that there was nothing she could do about what happened.
"Don't fight him… Let's stop everything and withdraw from this village!" Gaara told them in a low voice as he stopped looking at Genji and looked up at the sky.
Kankuro was taken by surprise when he heard for the first time that Gaara didn't want to continue fighting, but he tried not to show it on his face so he assisted with his head at the order of his little brother.
Temari and Kankuro place the arms of their brother on their shoulders to withdraw from the place since the attack failed and the destruction of Konoha was not achieved.
Genji watched as the three brothers were disappearing from the view of him, seeing them jump through the branches of the trees, Genji breathed a little and then released a small sigh.
Genji picked up his friend Naruto and placed it on his shoulder to return, but before he managed to take the first step. His vision blurred, his head burned like it was burning, and his ear canals affected his ability to hear clearly.
Blood began to trickle out of his eyes, nose, and ears.
Genji did not quite understand what happened until the memories of the clones came to his mind and he could only fall to the ground when he lost his other senses and closed his eyes.
