The Other Jinchūriki - A Naruto Fanfiction

Chapter 37

"Of course I made it!" Rizaki grinned, but it then turned into a frown. "Also, what was the password again? It was, like, a whole speech. You can't expect me to—!"

"No, I know it's the real you."

"Rizaki, you have to get out of here!" Sasumi warned. "No, you need to get out of here! You have no idea what you're up against, so go now while you still can!"

"Oh, Rizaki!" The woman greeted with a creepy smile. "I see you escaped from my friend, just in time to save dear old Sasumi here...how did they treat you?"

"Your 'friend' is a real bastard!" Rizaki growled. "Do you know how long it took to get out of that snake's stomach?!"

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

"Who the hell threw me over here?!" Rizaki exclaimed, looking around. She turned around and squeaked at the sight of another huge snake. "You have GOT to be kidding me!" She began to run again, but the snake was faster, scooping her up and swallowing her whole.

It felt very claustrophobic in such a tight space, and it did not make Rizaki feel free to breathe either.

I...I can't die now! Rizaki thought. Not when I promised everyone I wouldn't! I'm not holding back on a promise like that...I'm not giving up, nor will I ever! That's my ninja way!

Growling, Rizaki made a handsign. "You are NOT digesting me, you...stupid limbless reptile! I blew...one snake up...and I'll do it again! SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Multiple clones of the blunette appeared, and on the outside, the snake started to balloon up, before exploding.

"That's what happens when you mess with me!" Rizaki yelled as all her clones disappeared. "Rizaki Kiotori, future Hokage! Nothing is going to stop me from reaching that!" She looked around before running up a tree. "Now to find Sasumi and Sōma and brag about exploding another snake! Maji!"

*•*•*•*•*•**•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

"Okay, so it actually didn't take that long. But it felt like it!"

"Can you shut up?!" Sasumi yelled. She turned to the woman. "You want the scroll, right? I'm sure you do. Then take it and leave us alone!"

"Sasumi, are you losing important parts of your brain?!" Rizaki shouted. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" She then turned to the lady. "Playtime's over! Get your stupid snake-ass out of here!"

"Didn't I just tell you to shut up?! I'm giving her the scroll, stop butting in!"

"Mmm, that's quite sensible," the woman said with her wide creepy smirk. "Very wise. Sometimes the prey, who are so very helpless, must realize their only hope of going on with their worthless lives is to distract the predator with something much more precious." Sasumi grunted a little.

"Just take it and leave us alone!" She tossed the scroll, but before it could reach the woman a flash of speed was caught in between, snatching it before landing on the branch. "RIZAKI! Stop playing the damn hero, you dumbass, and leave it to me!"

"SHUT UP!" Rizaki screamed, turning around and punching her in the face. Sōma let out a soft gasp.

"Y-You're a stupid idiot!" The Uchiha rubbed the part of her face where she was punched. "You have no idea what you're getting us into!"

"I don't know the password, that's true..." Rizaki squeezed her eyes shut. "However, I know exactly who I am. But you...it's YOU I'm not so sure about!" Her eyes shot back open, full of anger.

"What are you talking about?!" Sōma yelled. "That's Sasumi, don't be dumb! You can't start up anything right now!"

"What the hell are you pulling?" Sasumi growled. "I'm the real Sasumi, you dunce!"
