Yugito Akkipuden Episode 16: Not Forgotten
WARNING: All Jutsu are in Japanese with the English Version in parenthesis.
Author's Note: Yugito has entered Version Two Kyuubi State! What is Hayate going to do to stop her?! Gaara and Yoshi engage the enemy!
~Sunagakure
The wind is blowing mildly and sand is flowing lightly in the air. Gaara, Yoshi and a small platoon of about 16 troops behind them, ready to strike the enemy down.
Gaara: Why are you invading this village?
A woman with long, ankle-length, auburn hair pointed at Yoshi. Gaara narrowed his eyes and was angered that they were after the Jinchūriki again, just as he had thought. Just then, the shortest of the group was levitating and pointed at Gaara.
Gaara (thinking): Ugh! They're after me again? I will not let them capture me this time!
Yoshi: I will not let you take the Godaime Kazekage!
? (taller male): You won't have any control over it.
Yoshi slightly flinched back at the sound of his words.
?: Aijō.
Aijō: As you wish.
She did the "Ox", "Snake" and ended the hand seals with the "Tiger" seal and held it. As she held it, the ground began rumbling.
Gaara: Move!
Yoshi jumped back and dodged and large dark grey, almost black, spike that protruded from the ground rather quickly. Gaara quickly created a sand platform and jumped onto it. While Gaara and Yoshi dodged the spikes, the reinforcements around them weren't so fortunate. Every single troop around them was impaled from the ground all the way through their head.
?: Ningendō, be ready to assist Aijō with Jigokudō. Gakidō will assist me with the Gobi.
All Akatsuki members removed their conical hats and revealed their faces. Who they were shocked both Yoshi and Gaara.
Yoshi: S-Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama?
Gaara: Godaime Mizukage Mei Terumī… But how?
Ningendō (Human Path or Mei Terumī): Whenever you're ready, Tendō.
Gaara (thinking): And that Tendō… He fits the description of Sasuke Uchiha's brother, Itachi. All of them except for that Aijō girl have a Sharingan and Rinnegan, but something isn't right about the Rinnegan…
~Land of Lightning Battlefield
Gamakichi slapped his hand against the ground, trying to catch Yugito. She ran up Gamakichi's arm and head butted him in the face. He slid across the hard ground on his back until Gamahiro caught him.
Gamahiro: Are you alright?
Gamakichi: Urgh… Yeah. She's too fast.
Yugito stood on all fours in front of them. She sprouted a fourth tail and then a fifth.
Gamakichi: This isn't good, Hiro. She's sprouting more tails. That means the fox is trying harder and harder to escape.
Yugito: Urrrggghhhh!
Gamahiro: Ow! Hey!
Hayate: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku! (Great Fire Annihilation)
Hayate had jumped from the ground, pushed off of Gamahiro's head, did the "Horse" hand seal and unleashed a powerful Fire Style Ninjutsu on Yugito. He landed on the ground in front of the toads.
Gamakichi: Nice shot, kid!
Hayate: Thank you. If you two don't mind, I'd like to do this on my own.
Gamahiro: What? Are you sure about that?
Hayate: Yugito-chan means a lot to me. I have to stop her or die trying. Hmm.
Gamakichi: Alright… We'll cover your back and make sure she doesn't go towards the village.
Gamahiro (quickly): Hey, look out!
Hayate turned towards Yugito. Through the fire, Yugito dashed at him and threw a Kyuubi chakra punch at him. He made an "X" with his arms and blocked the monstrous blow. The force from the strike was great enough to make him slide back several meters.
Hayate (thinking): Dammit! She's fast! And if I didn't have my Chakra Enhanced Strength, that punch would've killed me! Thanks Mom…
He and Yugito then dashes at each other. She threw a Kyuubi chakra kick and hit Hayate directly in the chest. His body disappeared and a block of wood took his place. He appeared above her with fire covering his leg from the bottom of his foot to his knee.
Hayate: Bāningu Ashi Doroppu! (Katon: Burning Leg Drop)
He had combined his Katon with his Chakra Enhanced strength and slammed his right leg onto Yugito's back. The force from his kick sent rocks and dust into the air, so much debris that Gamakichi and Gamahiro had to cover their eyes.
Gamahiro: Holy–!
Hayate (thinking): I'm sorry… Yugito…
Once the dust cleared, Hayate looked down to see that Yugito had dodged his attack. He frantically looked around and felt a huge hand grab him. Yugito had appeared behind him and grabbed him with a Kyuubi hand.
Hayate (thinking): Shit! I… I can't move!
Yugito: Urrrrgggghhhh!
Hayate: Yugito-chan! I know you can hear me! Please snap out of it! You can't let the fox control you! You're stronger than that! You've gotta stop!
Deep in her mind, she began thinking of the past.
Hayate: Here's your cotton candy, Yugito-chan.
Yugito: Red? Why red, Hayate-kun?
Hayate (nervously scratching his head): It's the color of your hair. I saw it and thought of you. Ha ha.
Yugito: Aw
As she chewed the soft, sweet cotton candy, her face began to light up with enjoyment. She finally swallowed the small bite.
Yugito: Mmm! It's good! Thank you, Hayate-kun.
~Training Field, Two Years Ago
Yugito: Rasengan!
Hayate was coming at her with a Gurando Kasaiken (Grand Fire Fist). The collided and Yugito fell on her butt. Hayate walked over and helped him up.
Yugito (upset): Dammit! I need to get my Rasengan's power up so I can finally beat you in a clash.
Hayate: You're Naruto Uzumaki's daughter. You'll surpass me one day, I'm sure of it. Hmm.
Yugito: Hayate-kun, why do you always do that nasal-like grunt?
Hayate: Ah… It's a terrible habit of mine. I do it so much that it sometimes annoys others that hear it. But I can't help it.
Yugito: Oh… A bad habit… My bad habit is when I get nervous, I grab my elbow.
Hayate: You mean like right now?
Yugito: What?
She looked at her arms and her left hand was grabbing her right elbow. She quickly moved her arms and hid them behind her back.
Yugito: Ah! Geez!
Hayate: Ha ha ha! You're nervous! Hmm!
Yugito: Shut up! Wait… ha! You said "Hmm" again!
Hayate: Hmm?! No I didn't!
Yugito: Ha ha! You said it again!
Hayate: Ahh… dammit…
Yugito (thinking): All the good times we've had… I… haven't forgotten…
Yugito still had Hayate in her clutches and she roared in his face again.
?: Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan! (Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence)
Wood emerged from the ground and quickly surrounded Yugito. The wood began wrapping around her body and restricting her. She released Hayate and he fell to his back. He looked behind him and saw Kakashi Hatake holding the "Snake" hand seal.
Gamahiro: Kakashi, when did you acquire the First Hokage's Mokuton?
Kakashi: A long time ago. Before the Fourth Great Ninja War began, Lady Tsunade ordered that Yamato fused his cells with mine to ensure that her grandfather's Kekkei Genkai isn't lost forever. I've only learned how to use it effectively just recently. It's taken me 20 years to learn how to control the First Hokage's jutsu. I don't know how Yamato learned to use it so quickly.
Gamakichi: That was a smart move on Tsunade's part.
Kakashi: Yeah, it was.
He walked up to Yugito and looked at her.
Kakashi (to Hayate, without looking at him): You did a great job stalling her.
He stood up and adjusted the side of his forehead protector.
Kakashi: I know it was hard to hurt her, but you did a great job.
Hayate: Thank you, Kakashi-sama.
After doing 15 hand seals and ending it with the "Snake" seal, the kanji for the word "sit" appeared on his palm. He then lightly touched the center of Yugito's chest with the kanji.
Kakashi: Tōmin no Jutsu. (Hibernation Technique)
The Tōmin no Jutsu or Hibernation Technique is a sealing jutsu that Kakashi has devised using Hashirama Senju cells. It allows him to seal away any Bijū that he touches with the kanji in his palm after activation. It's a much more useful way to seal away a Bijū that doesn't require a Crystal Gem that's linked to Hashirama's chakra. The only downside, however, is the amount of hand seals that are required.
The Kyuubi chakra cloak around her began to fade away and she began returning to her normal self. Once Kakashi was done suppressing the Kyuubi, Yugito fainted. He released the Mokuton and tossed Yugito over his left shoulder.
Hayate: I-Is she alright?
Kakashi: She's fine. Let's head back to the village.
Hayate: Yes, sir.
They started off towards the village.
~Sunagakure
Aijō (to Ningendō): Are you prepared to take down Jigokudō?
Ningendō: Whenever you're ready.
Gaara (thinking): Why do they keep referring to me as Jigokudō?
Yoshi: I'm going to end this now before it begins!
He did the "Tiger", "Ram" and "Rat" hand seal in that order and then slammed both of his opens palms on the ground.
Yoshi: Doton: Sando no Jutsu! (Earth Style: Sandwich Jutsu)
Just then, Yoshi created two enormous rock formations that emerged from the ground and it appeared to be attempting to "eat" the Akatsuki members. Each rock formation had the Iwagakure insignia inscribed on it. Tendō held out both hand away from his body and it appeared as if he was going to stop the gargantuan rock formations by hand.
Tendō: Shinra Tensei! (Almighty Push)
He instantly hit both rock formations with an invisible force field that smashed the Sando no Jutsu to pieces. All of the debris from Yoshi's attack fell outward, away from the Akatsuki members.
Yoshi (thinking): Urgh! No way! My strongest Doton jutsu was destroyed so simply!
Aijō began doing hand seal. After 4 hand seals and ending with the "Tiger" seal, she held hair hands at about mid chest and leaned her head back and closed her eyes. She had her palms facing the sky as if she was praising rain, though it was sunny out.
Aijō (to herself, soft voice): Kōton: Metarikku Kōu (Steel Style: Metallic Rainfall)
Just then, light grey, liquid metal began flowing from her sleeves. The liquid metal began forming into a cloud-like structure high in the sky. Once the liquid metal stopped flowing from her sleeves, she lowered her hands and looked back at her opponents. The cloud-like structure then floated to Gaara and Yoshi and hung over them like a giant cloud.
Gaara (thinking): This can't be good…
In an instant, tiny, dark grey, almost black, colored spikes began raining down over Gaara and Yoshi. Gaara quickly controlled his sand and made a giant shield from the lethal steel shards. Yoshi did five hand seals and ended with the "Dog" hand seal.
Gaara: Yoshi, slow down!
Yoshi: Fūton: Shinkū Renpa! (Wind Style: Vacuum Blast Barrage)
He inhaled a deep breath and while moving his head in different directions, he exhaled several blades of wind at different angles at the Akatsuki. Gakidō flew in front of them jutsu and put his hands out in front. A pinkish orange bubble appeared and he instantly absorbed the jutsu.
Yoshi: What?! Sandaime Tsuchikage-sama can absorb jutsu now?! He could never absorb jutsu before!
Gaara moved the sand he used to shield themselves to the sand and dropped it into the rest of the sand.
Gaara: Mei and Ōnoki are no longer their former selves. They have died already, no question about that, but Naruto Uzumaki wrote a book about his strongest opponents and toughest battles. One person he gave a lot of description on was this person that called himself "Pein". He also wrote that Pein used a jutsu called Pein Rikudō (Six Paths of Pein). This particular technique allowed the user to control six corpses at once and granted them each with one specific power. One specific ability of the six was the power to repel anything. Another ability, being able to absorb an endless amount of chakra, was also described.
Yoshi: So you think these guys are using the Pein Rikudō technique?
Gaara: Yes, but the Aijō girl hasn't displayed any powers of the Pein Rikudō, nor has Mei.
Tendō: Jigokudō is a smart one.
Gakidō: And very talented.
Aijō: It's a shame that he will be dead soon enough.
Gakidō: Tendō, how shall we capture the Gobi?
Tendō: I have a plan for that. Follow my lead.
Gaara: Get ready, Yoshi. Here they come.
Yoshi: Average power won't defeat these guys.
Gaara: Hm?
Yoshi: You need more than that… You need…
He got down on all fours and closed his eyes. Once he opened them, his eyes were rolled to the back of his head. He opened his mouth and thick, white steam flowed like a smokescreen and hid his entire body. Within seconds, Kokuō, the Five-Tails, emerged from the smokescreen and roared at the Akatsuki.
Tendō: Now this will be a bit of a challenge.

Gamakichi slapped his hand against the ground, trying to catch Yugito. She ran up Gamakichi's arm and head butted him in the face. He slid across the hard ground on his back until Gamahiro caught him.
Gamahiro: Are you alright?

He and Yugito then dashes at each other. She threw a Kyuubi chakra kick and hit Hayate directly in the chest. His body disappeared and a block of wood took his place. He appeared above her with fire covering his leg from the bottom of his foot to his knee.

He had combined his Katon with his Chakra Enhanced strength and slammed his right leg onto Yugito's back. The force from his kick sent rocks and dust into the air, so much debris that Gamakichi and Gamahiro had to cover their eyes.

Yugito: Ha ha! You said it again!
Hayate: Ahh… dammit…
Yugito (thinking): All the good times we've had… I… haven't forgotten…
Yugito still had Hayate in her clutches and she roared in his face again.
?: Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan! (Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence)
Wood emerged from the ground and quickly surrounded Yugito. The wood began wrapping around her body and restricting her. She released Hayate and he fell to his back. He looked behind him and saw Kakashi Hatake holding the "Snake" hand seal.

Just then, light grey, liquid metal began flowing from her sleeves. The liquid metal began forming into a cloud-like structure high in the sky. Once the liquid metal stopped flowing from her sleeves, she lowered her hands and looked back at her opponents. The cloud-like structure then floated to Gaara and Yoshi and hung over them like a giant cloud.
Gaara (thinking): This can't be good…
In an instant, tiny, dark grey, almost black, colored spikes began raining down over Gaara and Yoshi. Gaara quickly controlled his sand and made a giant shield from the lethal steel shards. Yoshi did five hand seals and ended with the "Dog" hand seal.
Gaara: Yoshi, slow down!
