All of them in that very place were amazed by that pale girl's dance.
Otsuna was in the midst of the crowd of people clapping their hands around her. She was embarrassed, then suddenly looked down. "Wow that's amazing!" They applauded her once again.
Without her, nor did they all notice.
"Princess." Someone called out from within the crowd. "Princess Otsuna!" The voice calls out Otsuna's name once again. "Hhhh..." Otsuna turned around. She was quite taken aback by the voice calling out to her, she hesitated, her heart racing. "Perhaps." She muttered. It was quite a cold day, but the girl was sweating. "Same smell again!?" Arato turned to Yamato. He was wary of an unfamiliar scent entering his sense of smell. "Partner." Yamato said, then disappeared. Don't lower your guard, he continued. "Since when have I not been guard?" Arato replied.
The boy put on the Noh, then he stepped forward, about a few steps forward. "Who??" Arato asked someone in the crowd to show themself. A crowd of villagers looking at each other, confused by what suddenly happened. The situation became tense for a moment. "W-what happened?" One asked the other. "I don't know. Is this a TV show??" Someone reply. Unfortunately, "Princess Otsuna. Finally, I was able to find you." A woman dressed in all white, beautiful in appearance, with one horn on the right side of the forehead, stepped forward from within the crowd. Its horns curl under the earlobe like hair. "Princess." She's calling her once again.
"..."
Otsuna with a doubtful expression looked at her, (That woman). "These mortals don't deserve that dance from you." The woman said it politely. Arato was thinking about their situation, yup she's the one who's been following us all this time… She's a person with a very strange smell. From that point of view, he only guessed that the woman had enough criteria to be, an enemy. Yamato said.
"Let's go back, Princess." The woman lowered her head to Otsuna. "No." Otsuna refused. And that surprised the woman, she looked at Otsuna again, this time she looked serious. "Then..." She raised her arms. "There is no other choice, but to take you by force." The woman said. "Kirana-sama." Otsuna muttered with doubt in her eyes.
In that situation, Otsuna had neither the ability nor the will to resist. Otherwise... Otsuna restrained herself. She saw the faces of the people around her, they were scared.
And Otsuna knows that.
However, before she could say whatever she was thinking.
Arato interrupted them.
"Who are you!!" He signaled his enemy to quickly introduce herself. "Who am I?" The woman smirked. "I am the Goddess." Kirana introduced herself gracefully. Making Arato even warier, he did not understand the meaning of the word 'Goddess.' But from what he knows, "She's dangerous." Arato muttered. "You alone-." Before Kirana could finish her words, the woman's lips stopped speaking.
"That fire." Kirana said.
Nobody knows exactly what happened,
But the two of them looked at each other with threatening eyes. Kirana used a Dojutsu that Arato had never seen in his entire life, Rinnegan. He thought. The woman flew like a cloth, then landed. He and Kirana were about 15 meters away when it happened. Arato opened his legs, showing his stance.
And,
"Those eyes you have. Do you know where they came from?" Kirana smiled evilly. "From?" Arato raised half an eyebrow. "Of course from us!" The woman took out the exact same black things as Otsuna. Whatever it was, in the blink of an eye, it changed its shape into cloth.
About 5cm thick,
"Woah-woah!!" Yamato pointed at that thing.
The black cloth rushed over quickly. "Die." Kirana mumbled. The flying cloth from one, split into three. The residents around the place were running to each other out of where they were standing before. "Everyone run!!" The residents shouted. Arato quickly put on the rabbit-shaped hand seal again, but this time there were two, Inori! Arato said as he put the two hand seals together. His mouth sucked in the air in an instant, making his mouth looks like it was getting lumpy. Otsuna turned to Arato as fast as she could.
At that very moment,
The Oni mask at the messenger bag on Arato's back flew out of the pin it hung from. It was like being possessed, or rather possessed by Arato's blue flames. In the shortest possible time, the boy shot a fire that was black as night, right at the Mask.
BAAANGGGGG!!
Exploding, however, the flame blast changed its own form. Otsuna tried to warn Arato, "Tsuki-yo!!" She calls him. But the boy did not hear the call. He's more serious about what happened in front of him, the cloth directly defended the floor like a building tool/saw. The previous explosion of fire formed something that shook the hearts of those who saw it, "Oni!!" Someone shouted. The black flames enveloped the Oni Mask, and from that Flame also formed a fiery Mask the size of a child's toy figure. "Bhwaaaahhhh!!" The mask opened its mouth as wide as it could, then lunged towards Kirana's cloth.
Homura's Jutsu - Oni's Roar!
DUAARRRR!!
The next explosion swept the air from the ground to the sky. "Burn whoever you are!" Arato said. Just as he thought their fight was over, it turned out to be, horribly wrong. "Come here! Mortals." Kirana appeared from behind Arato in the blink of an eye. Space and Time Ninjutsu. Yamato said, annoying! he continued. Arato's right arm was pulled by Kirana until it almost entered her Portal. "Tsuki-yo!! Bow down!" Otsuna shouted at them. The girl flew like a bullet that had just been shot. Arato didn't need to argue a pretty logical thing. He lowered his head, then took the gap to stab Kirana's hand using a purple needle that is almost as large as a knife, about 30cm long. The situation at that time was reversed. Arato pulled Kirana out of her Jutsu like he was playing tug of war. That boy wears something like Chakra threads, fiery purple, tied directly to the center of the bracelet on his left arm. Before they all realized it; Otsuna hit all of her targets like a bowling ball. The three were thrown in three different directions, East, North, and West.
Arato was thrown away, hit a building, and several stalls selling. Surprising the passersby, "Be careful!!" A man gave a warning to several others. "Has he-" A Woman said it, but held back her words. The two of them got a little closer. Looking at Arato's body wrapped in blue flames, he looked like he was on fire according to them. The other two people in the place tried to cover Arato's body with a pile of snow, hoping the fire would go out, however, "What!?" Arato was surprised to wake up. "H-he's awake!?" Someone was more surprised than him. Arato looked back, finding several people he recognized, but... There was something odd, "What the hell!?" Arato woke himself up seeing Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and Hinata glaring at the boy with the same expression as that boy himself. "Uhhh..." Arato looked back at the stone statues of the Hokage's faces.
And all, That makes sense, Yamato said. "Shit. What exactly happens..." Arato sighed with a gloomy expression. "How." He continued.
"Ooooh." Otsuna woke up from behind the ruins of the building. She was in pain, but the excruciating pain didn't stop her. The pale girl flew towards the West of the village hoping to meet, Tsuki-yo. Her mind can only think of the boy, she's anxious, and very worried. "Princess!!" Kirana shouted loudly.
Made Otsuna stop.
She was silent, her heart was pounding, she was sweating, but still had the guts to turn around. Otsuna looked at Kirana who was glancing at her with a disgusted expression. "I knew you would betray the Clan." Kirana said, as word by word she raised her voice until it sounded fierce. "But that person only told me to take you... even with some injuries. I will no longer doubt my princess." Kirana smiled savagely. That smile was very different from what the girl recognized. She knew that she couldn't escape anymore,
Otsuna at that time decides to fight Kirana.
The pale girl put on a stance to fight. It surprised that Woman, "With a body like that? What are you thinking, Princess." She said. "Even with a body like this. Please don't underestimate me. Kirana-sama." Otsuna firmly said that. Kirana did not take their fight seriously. She was more like playing with the girl, "Got you." Kirana held Otsuna as easily as she turned her palm.
"Kirana!!" Shouted a man who approached them.
And from that voice too, Kirana knew, that man was still alive. "Rahmanaya." Kirana muttered as she turned around with a fierce face. The woman glanced at a man who was walking towards them, his face battered like he had been beaten or something. Kirana looked at him with disdain, "You should have saved your life very carefully. And left while you could." She said. "Hah." The man smirked, as if it was the last thing he wouldn't do. "My life is insignificant compared to My Lady." Rahma stepped forward. "Uncle Rahma! Please stop there, I can handle this." Otsuna said. "Hahaha..." Kirana laughed hearing that.
Otsuna was a little annoyed at the loud laughter. She put on the same stance, this time, only the expression on her face seemed different. Dance Of The Winter Princess, instantly the pale girl waved her fan. Crystals also materialized in the middle of empty air, crashing like hundreds of spikes made of ice crystals. Kirana was surprised to see a giant Ice rushing toward her like a waterfall. "I didn't expect it. You still have chakra this massive." Kirana dodged Otsuna's attack using Space and Time Ninjutsu very easily. "I-ah I told you." Otsuna panted with the remaining energy in her body. If Kirana attacks her then, I'll be done here. Otsuna thought.
"Kirana!! How dare you attack Princess Otsuna." Rahma with his stance turned the stick he have higher,
Dry Season Children's Dance.
And with that, Kirana suddenly choked. "This again!!" Kirana was furious, troubled, annoyed, and hard to breathe. His body feels like being strangled by an invisible rope. Kirana saw an opportunity!! at that very moment. She took out her cloth from the ground, right under Rahmanaya, stabbed the man in the middle of his chest several times. Rahma had guessed, "Sooner or later." He muttered. Otsuna opened her eyes as wide as she could, unable to believe the image what she saw in front of her. "Ahhh!! him!?" Shikadai is surprised to see Rahmanaya. He along with Kakkei Sumire are on an important mission, and that mission involved the Man who was impaled in front of them. "Ugh!" Rahma coughed up blood until his eyes couldn't focus on seeing his enemy, his vision was blurry. The smell of death was stalking the man from behind. Otsuna immediately ran, hastily towards Rahma. After the girl arrived, "Uncle Rahma." She shivered, afraid of what had happened to Rahma. Once again, even if Rahma can't see his Lady's face.
He knew she must be crying.
With the remaining strength that Rahma had, he expended everything just to wipe Otsuna's face gently, full of love.
"My lady. Don't worry." Said Rahma to Otsuna.
That moment was fast,
Calm.
Rahma turned into a cloud of dust as fast as Otsuna blinked. "Uncle Rahma." She cried again, this time her heart was shattered. Kirana stepped forward, "Princess." She called out to Otsuna. Otsuna wordlessly, shook his two-hand fans.
"!?"
Kirana froze before she could dodge the attack. Hurricane-like ice cleared several of the trash cans, walls, as well as that woman before she was able to pull herself. It was probably the deadliest attack from Nara Shikadai's point of view.
After that.
Shikadai as well as Kakkei Sumire approached Otsuna. "You must be Princess Otsuna." Sumire said, before she tried to go any further. The woman introduced herself just in case. "I'm Sumire and he is." Sumire turned to Shikadai. "Well, I'm Shikadai. Sorry about this... all this is my responsibility." Shikadai had a gloomy face, explaining his words like shards of glass that Otsuna couldn't understand. What the girl only know is, that they were probably the same as Tsuki. That's what crossed Otsuna's mind. She cries incessantly, making Shikadai feel quite a failure in carrying out his mission as a Hidden Leaf Village Shinobi. The duty and responsibility to ensure that Princess Otsuna safe is still ringing in his mind. He did not forget what they had promised to Rahmanaya. It makes Shikadai even more determined than he ever was.
"What kinda crap is this!??" Arato was taken aback by all the chaos that had taken place. He stood from atop a pole looking at the pretty, crazy sight. Yamato said. Arato sighed, "After lying to my family, now." The boy had just lost his morale, falling bit by bit like sand. Hey, is Otsuna okay? Yamato asked Arato. Once he mentioned that, "Yeah you're right!" Arato being serious again, considering the Ice, it's definitely Otsuna's Technique. As he thought.
The boy looked for that pale girl.
But,
He was lucky enough.
Arato could see the girl from a distance, this time he was nervous enough to approach. "That's not good." Yamato appeared. "Yup. That's really not good." Arato replied. "I think you've gotta try pretend like doing jogging. You know, like you were just passing by. And 'accidentally' ran into Otsuna." Yamato said his idea which was, "Stupid." Arato replied. "Isn't it obvious that jogging at a time like this would look like I'm wearing a swimsuit in the middle of a frozen pool!" He said.
That's quite reasonable.
Although the way they both think is almost the same.
"I'd better walk over and say I'm part of the police force. Well, that's kinda my profession, isn't it." Arato expressed his idea. "Huh, that can do it." Yamato agreed.
"Fine. Now." Arato put Inori's hand seal, on one hand. Summons the Oni Mask that was blown several hundred meters away. And the mask, heard the call of the fire. Like tracking sonar, Arato's fingers work like a remote GPS that can summon parts of its own fire.
The Oni mask is in some of the rubble of the Ichiraku Ramen building.
In that instant,
The mask caught fire, then flew towards its owner. Surprised some of the residents who tried to escape from the midst of the ruins of the building. "What the hell!!" A village Shinobi was taken aback by the strange sight.
Arato was still waiting for his Mask. The mask was not only a sign of his profession, but also a part of his armor. He couldn't lose the Mask now, or he couldn't execute his tactics.
BBBBRRRRRRR!!
The Oni mask flew towards Arato's hand, and he caught it. The boy held the Oni Mask, then wore it as if it was casual. "Okay-okay now just move forward." Arato muttered, trying to motivate himself. The boy mustered up the courage. He walked over to where, Sumire, Shikadai, and Otsuna were. The three of them, looked serious. And apparently still on guard, Arato thought as he drew closer to them.
"Yo-yo-yo whassup!" Arato called out to the three of them. "Uh!?" Shikadai was at a loss to respond. "Ha-hi." Sumire greeted Arato. Then, the woman looked down at Shikadai, "Shikadai-kun, maybe that boy." Sumire whispered. "Yeah, maybe." Shikadai said.
"Tsu-!" Otsuna was surprised.
Before the pale girl could finish her words, Arato signaled,
Stop.
"Okay-okay I just overheard some conversations at the police station. Arato said. He explained the situation, well the one he wired earlier, Yamato commented.
They both previously use,
Hitomi Tomoe.
A needle that 5cm shorter than Arato's purple Needle. Ninja equipment that he uses as a very useful multi-tasking tool. So useful that the tool can be used as a substitute for Kunai.
But back again-.
"That's pretty much what I heard." Arato had finished explaining the situation. And, Shikadai was quite impressed with the results of the information he heard. "That sounds… well, pretty accurate." Shikadai said. "Well." Arato replied. "But..." Shikadai held back his words. "Alright, we here might need Anbu skills." Shikadai turned around. "Umm." Arato nodded in agreement before Shikadai could finish his words. Arato signaled to Otsuna, don't worry I can handle this.
Like that.
"..."
Otsuna didn't see the sign, but just silently listened to the two's conversation. Sumire was quite surprised at the boy in the white sweater with the Oni Mask on his face. She didn't expect to meet that kid, same as Nara Shikadai. "So what's your name?" Shikadai asked Arato. "I, well. I'm White Oni." Arato replied nonchalantly. Trying to control the situation, that actually almost made him pee in the middle of that place. "Oh... I see." Shikadai replied. He didn't want to make any trouble in an already troublesome situation, It's going to add even more problem if I asked deeper. Shikadai thought. He restrained himself, and acted, casually.
Arato turned to the right side of his.
Glancing at something that made him quite surprised, "Is that the crazy woman earlier?" Yamato appeared, pointing at a lump of Ice around the place. Apparently, Otsuna froze her. Arato replied. You better watch out partner, Yamato replied. "Roger." Arato nodded. He saw Kirana frozen in the middle of the ice, like a prehistoric creature in a museum. The boy approached beside Otsuna, then whispered. "Stay cool." Arato winked. It looked ridiculous with the Oni Mask he was wearing. It was out of tune, made the pale girl amused a little, and smile.
However, that smile didn't last long.
"What is that!?" Shikadai with a serious look looked up at the sky. The four of them were in the middle of the Hidden Leaf Village, recovering their energy and chakra while they could. "King." Sumire mumbled. "Yeah I know." Shikadai nodded. "So that's what Rahma talked about earlier." He continued.
Arato and Otsuna saw someone descending slowly from the dark sky above them, "Damn, shit." Arato muttered. He knew troublesome things were about to happen, and there seemed to be no choice but to fight. Arato thought. Sooner or later, after his meeting with Kirana. His hunch whispered that something worse are coming. On his right side, Otsuna looked scared to death. Her skin was getting sweaty, just by looking at her Arato could already identify Otsuna's phobia.
As time went on, it became more and more tense, and so did their strategy. Shikadai told their colleagues that the enemy has entered the village. That information made several Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village immediately make a warning to all the villagers.
They are in an emergency situation,
The village Shinobi try to help the residents to a refuge. Sirens sounded all over the place, it was really scary. Arato could hear the cries of the children. The boy is doubtful about his abilities. One mistake and all, game over. Yamato said. He knows about what he said. What was descending from above also signaled real danger according to Yamato's perspective. "There's no choice, but to use the Ten Dances." Yamato turned to Arato.
From what he said, yeah. I know what you meant. Arato replied. He's at a disadvantage situation. But he couldn't complain about his circumstances, and just rolled with what happened. His brain was racing, but his solution could be messed up at any moment. Any strategy, will he use.
"Otsuna. Don't worry..." Said Arato to Otsuna. Making the girl turn to him,
She saw a boy that pretending to be strong in front of her. I hope I don't die in this place. Arato bit his jaw, trying to shake off the fear that welled up inside him. Yamato only bet on luck. He likes a gambler who puts all the coins and hopes for a jackpot that will even be completely missed.
