The only way the monster was able to pinpoint where Yami was, was by feeling him moving on his skin. That's how the monster knew that Yami was on his head and that's how he aimed with the stinger. He still wasn't 100% sure and knew that Yami could dodge at the last moment, so he hadn't attacked with the stinger.
Just when he thought that Yami will focus on the stinger and try his best to dodge it, he sensed Yami running on his back. He wasn't just running around to confuse the stinger but was running in a straight line on his back.
The monster aimed the stinger where Yami would be a second later and attacked as the stinger was moving toward the running Yami, the tentacles on his back extended. The monster could immediately feel the temperature rise in the surrounding since the scorch release was extremely hot and his skin was susceptible to such things.
The monster thought that the tentacles will slam against the tip of the stinger. The monster didn't slow its speed as it was confident the stinger was not made of flesh but something else and he was sure that it would handle the tentacles and even pierce through it.
He readied himself to feel the hot sensation on the skin around the stinger so that at that very moment he could increase the stinger's speed which would pierce through the tentacles faster but the sensation never came.
Instead, he felt the heat somewhere else. The monster tried his best to turn his head to the back. He also twisted his entire body which could result in him falling on the ground and not landing on his legs. Within that millisecond, he became highly desperate because the place where he felt the heat was where the tail attached to his main body.
No matter what he did the sensation of heat on the very end of his back kept on increasing until suddenly he felt a very sharp pain there. He understood what had happened because he could no longer control the stinger nor could he feel it.
With his uninjured eye, the monster saw the stinger along with his tail fall on the ground beside him. He also didn't feel Yami standing on his head or back anymore. But there wasn't time to search for him now since the monster was not falling on the ground with his back touching the ground first.
He wanted to get up and stand back on his feet quickly but he felt pain followed by relief. He understood what had happened. Yami had pulled out the sword that pierced his eye. The monster wanted to make Yami regret doing what he did in the past minute so he was about to turn to one side and then stand back on his feet but Yami had different plans. He landed on the monster's stomach and didn't land as lightly as he had on the head in fact the force with which Yami landed on the stomach made the monster's effort to get up futile.
BAMMM
RARRRR
The monster was now lying on the ground which multiple injuries all over his body. A severed tail, a busted hind leg with a big injury, and a eye bleeding. Anyone who saw this scene would have understood that Yami had almost crippled the monster.
The monster looked around desperately searching for any corpse that he could feed on even if it was burned a little.
Seeing him do that Yami laughed and said "Haha...sorry doggy...I haven't left you any meat...not even half-roasted."
The expression on Yami's face suddenly changed from a smile to a serious one and he stabbed his sword directly into the monster's stomach. He covered his sword with lightning chakra so that the tough skin of the monster would not slow down the sword.
The monster wanted to struggle but the next second his eye widened because he saw something he didn't expect.
A tattoo started moving from Yami's wrist to his palm and fingers. The monster recognized that symbol. Yami looked at his hand and said "I know...you were searching for me and you found it. Congrats."
The monster quickly looked to the side. Yami also looked to the same side as he wanted to see where the monster was looking at. Turned out the monster's eyes were fixed on the tail. To be more specific, there were fixed on the crystal-like shining stinger at the end of the tail.
'The tail seems to be more important than just a way to find the law in me. I need to take a look at it properly to know more about the one whose after me.' Yami thought. As his hand from his wrist to his fingertips became black, the lightning chakra on his sword turned from blue to purple. Before the monster could do anything about this, Yami sprinted from one end to the other end of the monster's stomach while dragging the pierced sword along with him.
The monster screamed so loudly when it happened that Yami felt it was trying to perform some kind of sound attack. The monster's scream spread not just all over the battlefield but even more than that. Zabuza who was currently in pursuit of Jiro and Priest Ji also heard it and the birds and animals in the jungle also started running in panic.
The clan leaders along with Kakashi and the others also heard this. They were far away in a tent getting medical attention.
"What just happened?" Riko who had medical tape tied on his arms said. He tried to get up and leave the tent but Asami stopped him.
"Riko don't do anything and sit back inside. We need to gather our energy as fast as possible and go help out our forces. AO and Elder Wu are along with our army heads currently protecting the civilians from the bloodline shinobis and stone shinobis. Luckily the 2 genin teams of Kurenai and Asuma decided to stay back and help out Kana and the others which is why we even got to take a breather."
Riko looked to the other side where the old man was taking some kind of medicine. Noticing Riko's look, the old man nodded and said "I understand your reason to be this impatient but we need to put our faith in that kid. The ones who Zabuza freed from the bloodline clan prisons are also preparing themselves to enter the war now. It is almost night and I don't think our enemies have any plans to honor the rules made for wars. We have to consider them all cultists now."
In another tent, Kakashi was sitting with Kurenai and Asami. The three of them had only minor injuries but Kakashi and Kurenai had exhausted their chakra more than they could handle which made their healing a little slower.
"Kakashi I don't feel right about leaving Yami like that." Asuma said in a worried tone.
"I understand your reason to worry Asuma but what choice did we have? Staying there even one more minute would mean becoming a distraction and even providing the monster with some snack." Kakashi said.
"But Kakashi this roar. What if Yami is in trouble? We have to go and get him back while it's not too late. He and Sasuke have already gone through enough." Kurenai said.
"I know but this sound didn't seem like a roar but a cry. I think he can handle it. No need to worry" Yami said and this assured Kurenai and Asuma to a certain extent.
Kakashi then stepped out of the tent and looked around. Seeing that no one had seen him, he body flickered out.
"I can't let Yami take on all this alone." A sound lingered where Kakashi just stood.
Back at the battlefield, The monster now had his stomach torn open by Yami's sword. Yami had expected the monster to die due to this but surprisingly the monster was still struggling. Yami decided to land one more attack on the monster's stomach and specifically now his vital organs but just as Yami was about to attack, the monster turned to the side forcing Yami to jump from his stomach to the ground.
"You still have some life left in you mad dog...I am impressed." Yami said as he created some distance while the monster stood up stumbling a little. Lots and lots of blood was flowing from his wounds. Yami could even see a few organs hanging from the monster's open stomach.
The monster then started charging toward Yami. Yami didn't know why the monster even did that. He could sense that the speed was very low and Yami didn't even need to dodge it. Yami could easily counterattack.
Just as the monster was running toward him Yami noticed something. Black-colored light started coming from inside the monster's body. From his eyes, his wounds and even cracks started to appear on his skin through which the light was coming.
It didn't take much time for Yami to realize what the monster was planning.
