Chereads / Snow White & The Oni Of Dancer / Chapter 8 - CHAPTER VII - The Last Dance

Chapter 8 - CHAPTER VII - The Last Dance

Uzumaki Boruto and Uchiha Sarada almost reached the center of the village.

At that very moment,

The two of them stopped when they saw what was descending from the sky above the village. He was the one who suddenly clouded the entire village sky. The rain fell down that village incessantly, so hard that thunder sounded loud. Then the black clouds above curled up like a storm was about to come. Making those at the bottom more weary. "Princess, calm down." Sumire said. She was trying to calm Otsuna who had been, scared, thought Sumire. Arato and the three others who were in the place knew what was going down. And that's not a good sign. Shikadai was sweating even more.

A figure began to appear from a distance.

This smell is terrible!! Yamato felt nauseous, and grew more alert. "Otsuna my daughter." An eerie voice called out the girl's name, "Otsuna!!" He said it again. The village Shinobi were looking at someone, they saw a man dressed in white with a gold scarf, beautiful face, with two horns. Otsutsuki!! A village Shinobi said that with hatred.

That man above them,

He came down, but didn't touch the ground.

Baddddam!!

The village Shinobi who had shouted earlier, exploded like a balloon in an instant. Without warning or anything, "H-he's dead." The nearby Shinobi was covered in blood and the remains of their comrade's internal organs.

Making them feel like paralysis.

!

Shikadai was astonished by the ability that was beyond reason. The same goes for those who saw the incident firsthand. Arato, breaking out in cold sweat, had no idea what had just happened. The boy took out a sword from behind the scabbard on his back. "Hey-hey!" Shikadai warned Arato not to be rash.

The boy looked at the code in Shikadai's hand,

But he couldn't back down now.

Secretly, his Hitomi Tomoe was implanted in three different points around the village. Created what the boy called, the Illusory Field. A technique that could manipulate Homura's Flames as a means to create a kind of invisible field.

And in that field,

He.

Oni's Dance – First Movement!

Arato put on a sturdy stance, his legs spread apart, his right and left hands holding the Yamato Sword on the right side. Kai, Yamato opened the two front doors of the Aomori's gate using both hands. It opened Uzumaki Arato's Dojutsu abilities to the next level.

He named it,

Yoh-Noh-Haku.

The boy releases out threads of blue and black flames from within his body. Coiled him like a mosquito, then wrap him like a mummy, then, the shape of his armor manifested from it. A round black hat with ten magatama-shaped bells surrounds the hat. The blue armor was coated with another black armor layered on top of each other.

His armor technique was named,

Yomo.

There are several levels of Yomo.

If speaking more specific it's three, but when he's standing with his Jutsu. Unknowingly he was already at the last level. His emotions were a little mixed and it couldn't be helped, he couldn't stop it. The first flame that lit on the top of Tomoe's Needle surprised someone, "Huh. huh!?" The Villagers were surprised. Arato waited for all needles to ignite. When the Jutsu's condition is perfect. The boy stood with his mask that constantly bleeding under the hole in the mask's eyelid. Arato waited for the man in front of him to come forward, "I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this..." That man said. "Oni!!" He continued with the five eyeballs on the skin of the forehead exposed, in the middle of it were bleeding tear. "Father." Otsuna muttered with fear all over his body. "Where did you get those eyes Oni?" The man signaled Arato to tell him immediately.

"..." Arato just stared at him silently.

The atmosphere is getting tenser.

Even though it was still day, everyone in the village felt that the sun had set and it was already evening. Arato gulped down the saliva that was on his dry throat.

Then,

Pretend Oni!

Suddenly the boy disappeared from where he was standing. Turned into a flock of one-legged fire crows. Surprising those who saw it, Shikadai thought that he could be affected by Illusion!? Shikadai turned around. He wasn't so sure. The crows grew more as their voice are getting louder, their screams can be heard all around that area. Flying like bats at night, scaring some of the village's Shinobi who thought it might be, "Enemy's Jutsu!!" Shouted a Shinobi. "Attack!" Shout the other.

They started throwing Kunai and one of their Kunai hit the crow. And suddenly it was split in two.

The technique is named,

Yatagarasu.

The ravens were increasing, from one hundred to five hundred. Scare anyone they pass, but not the man in white. He, without any expression on the mimic on his face said, "Are you playing with me? Oni." Those words shattered Arato's three Hitomi Tomoe. What!? The boy was more than surprised, he was dumbfounded. His body suddenly appeared, almost approaching the five-eyed man. Their distance was very close but Arato slipped with his own Jutsu. Before he could turn the man was already in front of his face, caught his mask, and then he pushed it to the ground. "Ahhh!!" Arato screamed in pain. But the man showed no sign of compassion. He picked up Arato's head and pushed the boy over and over again destroying the entire structure of the ground beneath him. The man threw him like a stick, flung him several hundred meters smashed into Otsuna's Ice, and bounced back like a volleyball into the alleys of the shops.

In essence, he was battered.

"A—asshole." Arato vomited blood from his mouth. Hey! Someone called Arato. Hey Partner! Hold on dude!! Yamato called out to him many times, but the boy had lost his consciousness.

"I didn't expect this." The white clothed man was still looking at Kirana's frozen body. He approached the Woman, but was unable to shatter the chunk of Ice before him. "Father." Otsuna called out to him. And the man turned his head, "Otsuna" He muttered. "Are you betraying me? Your father!" That man raised his voice. Making Otsuna's entire body instantly tremble, "Hhhh." The pale girl sighed. She gasped as if something was stuck in her neck. Before the man could step forward. Nue's body was already behind Otsuna. It was as big as a cake shop, and someone rode it like a horse. "Alright-alright. Nue." Sumire stroked Nue like a kitten.

On the other side of that place.

"I think he'll be okay." Said a woman. "Alright then, let me carry this kid." A man reply. Ooooh— Shit! Arato stopped think for a moment. He felt like being carry on someone's back. Seriously!! He really is in a very, very bad situation! Thought Arato. The boy opened his eyes slowly, then glanced to the left. He tried to catch his breath, making the adrenaline in the blood stabilize again.

His heartbeat started to beat normally.

"Are you awake?" Boruto called out to the boy. Even though he tried to be silent for a few seconds, he felt that he had been, "Figured." Arato said. "Since when did you find out?" He asked Boruto. "Since you pretended to be unconscious." Boruto replied casually, and that, scary... Yamato sighed. But you are very lucky to have survived. Being flung like that crashed into several shops—. Yamato suddenly appeared but held back his words.

The fire-haired boy fell silent.

Boruto still glancing at him.

So,

Yamato disappeared again. Hm... Boruto mumbled, thinking that kid might be, some sort of Jubi. He thought. "Can you put me down?" Arato asked. "Yeah sure." Boruto replied, "Are you sure you're okay?" Boruto is thinking about the boy's condition. From his perspective he knew, "You're battered." Boruto joking. "Well, that's uh? huh." Arato sighed with a lazy expression. He wasn't in the mood for any jokes. The truth: why is Sarada still staring at him.

It made him nervous.

Boruto lowered the boy from his back.

He stepped on the ground, and suddenly realized, "My mask!?" Arato spun his backpack. "Oh" Sarada was holding something "You mean this?" He held out a Mask that he had been holding. "Yeah. Uh thanks." Arato took his Mask, but he was still being looked at seriously. The boy didn't want to cause further trouble, If I'm being found out I'm not sure I can go back to where I was. Arato thought as he put on the Mask. He lost the Yamato Sword, most likely blown away with him. He wanted to take back his Sword, but Sarada wanted to say something.

"Is it just like that?" someone said. "Of course not." Someone gasped in response to those words.

Sarada and Boruto heard people talking. They all stopped for a while. "That person again." Arato muttered. He just realized that they were very close to Otsuna, Sumire, and Shikadai. The distance is about 40 meters.

Arato use Noh,

He looked around.

???

Something was dripping on his hair, "Huhhh!" Arato realized that and immediately shifted places, "Uhhuh-huh-huh!" He backed away slowly while looking at some of the slimes that had suddenly descended. The slimes descended from the sky like the air around them was made of walls. The slimy fluid collects in one place, then begins to form many eyeballs. Arato didn't even think to approach, What is that disgusting thing?? He thought.

BRRRKKKKK!!

The sound of ice crashing reappears along with the screams of the villagers.

The boy without thinking immediately rushed towards the location of the voice he had heard earlier. He threw his purple Needle, it turned into purple threads. Tied to a pole, he dangled from one building to another until he came to a giant ice floe.

"Arato!!" Boruto and Sarada called out to him.

"This is worse than I thought." Arato standing on a lump of Ice but his vision was obscured by thick steam. He could see something underneath. The strange smell entered his nostrils again, making Arato believe he no longer needed to determine his direction and toss the needle once more. Stabbing the five-eyed man under him, but not as expected. The man held the needle while pulling Arato from above. "Ooohhh—Ahhhh Shit!!" Arato screamed in panic as his body was pulled so easily.

Homura's Dance – Sixth Movement.

Arato use gentle fists like the way of the Hyuga Clan fought.

White Tiger!!

Blue and black flames wrapped around his right hand, turning into an almost tiger-like form. He didn't need to measure, and immediately fired his Jutsu. The flaming tiger charged through the mist, hollowing it out, towards the man in white.

DUUARRRR!

The fire explosion from Arato's Jutsu blew away cold vapors around the place. From the way the flames exploded, there was no way that man was alive, that's what Arato thought. Suddenly his face got caught in the middle of his foe's palm, as Arato still thinking, What the hell!? Arato was surprised, or rather confused. His face was once again rubbed like a pillow. Almost crushed his cheekbones if it weren't for the Mask holding that Man's fingers. Otherwise, his head might end up like one of the village's Shinobi.

"Oni." The man said. He started to tighten his grip, but something suddenly happened. Arato's body turned into fire crows again. "This game again!!" The man was fed up with Arato Jutsu. He looked away for a moment and then turned very quickly. But his face gets hit by Arato's Jutsu.

"Rasengan!!" Arato shouted as loud as he could. The longer the technique spin more it smolders like a torch.

Homura!

BANGGGG!!

His Rasengan exploded, blowing that man and himself in both different directions. Arato resisted the blow of his body using both hands and feet. Even though he was thrown for a few seconds, he finally stopped, then took back his wasted breath. His enemy stopped his body very easily. Whether it's Wind or Gravity I don't care anymore!! Arato growled. The boy saw the man in front of him pushing his own body like controlling a kite. He floated in mid-air with perfect balance. They are both quite clearly on a very different level. "You have some tricks Oni." The man said. "Sarada!" Boruto suddenly appeared in front of Arato. Before he could continue his words. "I know!" Sarada replied. Both of them like reading each other's minds. It wasn't that surprising, considering the two of them were teammates. Arato turned to Otsuna, to the left of where he was standing. The pale girl was panting heavily, looking like she was about to pass out soon. Sumire was injured, as was Nue, Shikadai was near Otsuna with a battered face and a body full of serious injuries. He stood as if the wound was just a scratch. The man was sweating, his breathing adjusted to his state, dying. He doesn't have much chakra left. If his foe move, then he without a doubt, will die. Arato stood up from the ground, contemplating several possibilities. But hit a dead end on his strategy.

He bit down his jaw to wake himself up.

Homura's Dance!!

The boy uses the same stance as the previous Dance, but this time. The right and left hands display hand seals on the left chest and right abdomen.

At that moment,

Ninth Movement - Nine Tail Kurama!!

He stomped his two feet to the ground.

Signals his fire that he is ready to fight. Arato became even more vibrant. His body emits flame from within his body to form a fiery fox, nine tails, with blue fangs. That form made everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village stop. "Kurama!?" Naruto stopped halfway to the refuge with Hinata and Himawari. They saw a protective figure who had long disappeared from the village. The fox was holding several people with its tail. "Who the hell are you!!" Arato asked his enemy. "I am the God of your God Oni." The man answered Arato. The answer is no more certain than certainty itself. According to his experience with interrogation, this person was not joking. The boy was surprised to see that man endure his Homura flame like it was nothing "I am Brahma." That man raised both his arms up at the same time. And the slime that fell on his body swallowed him. The mucus was bubbling giving off hot air. Is he melting himself?? Yamato a little confused by what was happening. "No matter what it is..." Arato said. "I will burn him myself!!" The form of the fiery fox ran with his hands and feet like a wolf, opened its jaws, then ate the slime with that man inside. But they were all shocked, as was the boy himself, "You've gotta be kidding!?" Arato complained. The slime was in the middle of his fire but it didn't burn at all. "It seems that this fire is still immature." A voice came out from within the slime. "Tsuki-yo—" Otsuna turned to Arato. Tsuki will die and so will everyone in this place. Thought Otsuna

"Oni or Son of Man. None of that matters anymore." Brahma said. "This is where I dance!" Arato made it clear that he wasn't going to back down like that. "I am the fire in this place." He continued. The boy stared at something that was being formed from the slime. "Arato don't be rash!" Boruto said. "It's not that I'm reckless. But since when didn't people act stupid when they heard a voice from that kinda thing?" Arato replied. Boruto quite understands the point, but at the heart of the conversation, that's not what he's trying to convey. Stubborn kid... Boruto growled. "Geez!" He muttered. "Hmm. Hehe..." Sarada laughed slightly hearing both of them. Not that she thought it was funny, but, looked quite stupid. As she thought.

"Where you dance huh." Brahma murmured. "Those eyes Kyogan." Brahma's entire body began to form from within the slime into something dark, like hardened ink. He is like an artist's masterpiece deliberately made to scare children. Arato had never smelled the scent that was stinging his nose. It's terrible. He shivered, fear gnawed at his mind, his heart had not stopped beating ever since the fight.

"God!!"

Arato pushed himself with Wind Style.

Hundred Points – Shu!

Attacking Brahma with an attack capable of propelling air like waves of water. That technique didn't even make Brahma flinch at all. The man smiled viciously, for the first time. Arato was getting more and more frustrated, Brahma opened the Time and Space Ninjutsu again, then took out a wand. It seemed to be made of the same material as the one Otsuna had, but slightly different. It was a five-ringed wand, gold and jet black. It looks like something a monk would normally wear. Before Brahma took the scepter. Otsuna shot at high speed towards Brahma. "Otsuna—!" Brahma startled. He turned around as fast as he could.

But,

Dance Of The Winter Princess.

"Wait... Shirayuki!!" Arato shouted at Otsuna. But the girl ignored him. Otsuna's body glowed even more, in a bad sense. Arato quickly turned towards her. The instant that happened, something pierced Otsuna in the middle of the chest, almost hitting Arato's face.

Blood splattered from the end of the stick.

Splattered all over Arato's face who faltered seeing it pierce Otsuna's body. Arato was silent. "Tsu-ki-yo." Otsuna said "Shirayuki." Arato had no idea what had happened. Everything's like a nightmare to him. "Everything will be fine." Otsuna closed her eyes.

Then another explosion occurred.

The explosion came out of the Otsuna's body, extinguishing the fire that was raging above the sky to the ground. Arato couldn't reach what had turned into shards of snow dust.

They all crashed below.

"Catch them!!" Said Sai. "Roger!" Inojin replied.

...

About five minutes had passed.

"Uhhhh, ahh ouch" Arato woke up in a pitiful state. The bones in his body ached as if he had a high fever. "Shit." Arato tried to breathe more calmly. The snow that had stopped, began to fall again slowly, hitting his warm cheeks. "Are you all right?" Sarada asked Arato. "Yeah-well...no. Not really." Arato replied. He was quite depressed, thinking back about Otsuna. Sarada is treating Arato's wounds using a healing Jutsu. He was sure that the boy would be fine, or maybe not. All of them in that place looked gloomy, although the sky above the village looked bright again.

Arato woke himself up.

He didn't say anything, and neither did those around him. "Sorry to drag you into this trouble." Sarada said. Arato didn't understand what those words meant, and didn't think much of it. "I guess. I'm all right now." Arato smiled. "A-alright." Sarada nodded. "Don't move too much okay." She continued. Arato saw someone across from them. Boruto was talking with several faces that looked familiar to him. "That's not good." Arato muttered seriously. They seemed to be talking about something "Did you hear what they said?" Yamato asked. "No, I'd rather run now." Arato replied while trying to stand up "Hey are you really okay??" Sarada worriedly asked. "Yeah." Arato turned and ran as fast as he could.

"Wa-" Sarada pursed her lips, holding back her words. "I hope he's really all right?" Sarada wondered. "Hhhh" Boruto sighed. Several important people in the village were with him. "So that's him huh." Konohamaru said. "Yeah." Boruto replied back. "Give him some space, big bro." He continued. Konohamaru nodded. "It's really a weird day." Konohamaru muttered. He and several others quite agree with the argument, 'weird day'. Shikadai looked up at the sky with his thoughts.

"O-tsuna." Brahma's body was half frozen.

Affected by the explosion with serious injuries. For the first time in his life, he had never felt so fragile. The chakra in his body has storage that's beyond reason. Because of the explosion, all my chakra was consumed and turned into snow. Brahma thought. "To think that girl would do something this reckless!!" Brahma said it with anger, frustration, and indescribable pain. The man took out a wand which he put back into another dimension. He limped using it, remembering the chunk of Ice that froze all over him, instantly shattered into snowflakes. Together with Chakra and his high self-esteem. Brahma did not expect Otsuna's Ice to be that strong. He could see what was going to happen, but wasn't quite right about it.

And this time it seemed he had missed.

Arato paused, "That's!" He saw his blue scarf, lying on the ground. The boy walked over, lifted the scarf off the ground, gripped it as tightly as possible so it wouldn't be blown off by the wind, and put it on. Tears soaked the blue scarf he was wearing. Arato could smell the remnants of the girl's scent.

!?

Arato was getting more and more alert, he heard a voice that was getting closer. The voice was like an iron scraping against each other, emitting a buzzing sound. Arato wasn't sure what the sound was, but he could determine where it was coming from. Up ahead, Arato guessed. He could feel the same scent. Stinging his nose, that bastard. Arato muttered with a grim expression. Seriously. Is he still alive after being hit by that! Yamato looks like neighborhood guards protesting on Sundays.

But you're right, Arato replied.

He heard Brahma's voice which sounded angry. At that moment he felt a precarious situation was imminent. He may have ruined the times he was in, but I can't stand still right now! Arato is determined to himself. "If that's what you want to do." Yamato said. "Let's dance again." He smiled. After both of them determined to go forward,

Arato stopped again.

"What the hell-!!" Surprised to see Brahma with a body that is like half slime. That monster sucked up several villagers, either is men, women, or children. Brahma didn't care about that, all he cared about was Chakra. He absorbs Chakra from people's bodies until it dries up. The whole life of the body was like a can of drink to him. "Ahhhhh!!" A scream echoed throughout the village. The screams were horrifying, made a heart-wrenching. Making Arato even more prepared for the worst. His distance from Brahma was about 52 meters, even at that distance. It was enough for him to aim. This was the last one, that's what Arato thought.

"Homura's Dance – Final Movement."

The ten balls of black and blue fire circled around the boy's right palm. It was a very special, complicated technique, the last of his Ten Dances. Black flames on the left, and blue ones on the right. The two he named as, Oni (Black Flame) and Homura (Blue Flame). Two of the one that is on two different sides, but are one. He had no backup plan, and only trusted himself not to mess up any further.

"Rasengan's Wheel!!"

The fireballs spun faster and faster, forming a shape in the center of his palm.

Then he threw it in a motion like throwing a baseball.

The flames formed a, "Demon Flame." Hinata with her Byakugan couldn't explain it any better. Naruto was confused by those words, he didn't understand what they meant. "Uhhh?" Naruto tried to think "Okay then. That sounds really dangerous." He brushed it off and turned to, "The point is really bad isn't it." Naruto said. "Is that true, or?" Sasuke asked Hinata. "I'm not so sure either. But maybe it doesn't belong to the enemy." Hinata answered Naruto and Sasuke seriously. Sakura turned to Sasuke and Naruto "they both don't seem to know anything about anything" That's what she thought.

They themselves are not so sure of their mind.

Before arriving at a conclusive point,

BAAAAANGGG!!

"This is dangerous!?" Sasuke uses Susanoo to protect them.

A huge explosion of fire erupted like a bomb in the middle of the Hidden Leaf Village. The blue flames mixed with the black ones spread throughout the village like roots. Those within the radius were hit by the flames with astonished expressions. "Why don't we get burned??" The villagers looked at each other as the flames passed them. And in the blink of an eye the smoldering flames were sucked into Brahma's body like a high-class vacuum cleaner. What the hell!! Yamato was taken aback. So did Arato who was sweating. Knowing his fire, "Just a normal fire." Brahma said. That man, a monster. Arato stepped back. The last dance, Arato gulped. His lips dry. Brahma smiled seeing Arato's expression, "You've run out of chakra. But you can still stand like that huh." Brahma with that deep voice, really intimidated Arato. He couldn't hide it, what Brahma said was really on point. The last chakra he had stored had been used up, and his flame get easily erased. "Arato!!" Boruto appears with the Space and Time Ninjutsu. He was with Sarada this time. The two of them stood before Arato, reminding the boy of something. Brahma's ready for his next tantrum. "In any case we will not let you touch this kid." Boruto said. "Yes." Sarada nodded.

"Sorry, but I have to steal this last appearance." Arato stood with another stance. He held Yamato Sword, then slowly inserted it into the sword's scabbard that was made of fire in his left hand. The movement caused the flame that began to emerge from within Brahma's body. Blue flames began to rage out, then turned black like ink-drenched water. Then slashed that man as he started shouting the word "Oni!!"

"What happened!?" Boruto was confused, and so was Sarada.

The village Shinobi and its villager shouted, "Finally!!" They're crying, they're sad, they're happy. Hugging their colleagues and friends closely. Arato saw that with a smile, he looked up. Looking at the slightly clear sky, slightly grayish-white, he looked at it with a different look.

"Strange day." Arato said.
