The Pirate Ninja

Chapter 20

The marines and Pirates watched in awe as a blur was hitting the daylights out of the immortal creature. The few who knew her were cheering for her success.

"HANA!"

"KICK HIS ASS HANA!"

"GO NINJA LADY!"

Hana heard none of it, focused only on the battle at hand. Blood trickled from her mouth, her hand blindly wiping it away. It was getting worse. She was relying on Kurama's chakra to help deliver some packed punches.

Hana if you keep this up.

"I know. It's okay." Maybe a rasenshuriken would do it? "What do you think?" Kurama was her go to for approval, she wasn't confident in her abilities at all. And was usually too lazy to plan things out.

That could work. Have you done it before?

"Once and it nearly destroyed my arm. I think I can control it, it's not my specialty. Practically the only ninjutsu I can do really." She was pathetic in terms of strength when compared to her brother or the other shinobi. "I have nothing left to lose." Besides her life but y'a know she wasn't afraid of death.

Dodging another attack, she threw a kunai above its head and waited for the right moment to teleport to it. The creature looked around confused for the annoying redhead.

The clouds dispersed above it, revealing a giant rasenshuriken held by the one and only kunoichi of this world. A grin was plastered onto her face even as blood trailed down her arm and face, splashing onto the rock face below her.

"THIS IS FOR HURTING MY FRIENDS. GIANT MASSIVE RASENSHURIKEN!"

Lame naming but she was on a time limit here. Her life was trickling by, too much chakra being used up for this and added Kurama's in the mix. It wasn't going to end well.

Hana launched the giant ball shuriken to the giant, who screeched as it hit. Hana followed it up with a smaller rasengan and a chakra packed punch. The beast went down into the ocean, Hana following it.

Disbelief rang through the crews present, as concern filled the Straw Hats. Where did Hana go? And was she okay?

Under the water, Hana was going to bury this thing so it never awakens again to hurt her friends. Kurama felt her urgency, but knew she was going to far.

Hana you need to rest. You'll use up all your chakra.

"I have a large reserve and yours. I'm dying anyways, I want to help them while I can. I'm an Uzumaki, we don't go back on our word."

Hana made a promise to go back to them, and she wasn't going to break it. That foreboding feeling she had months ago when they left, it made sense now. Old man Sarutobi's puzzling words, this was it.

The redhead made a few signs and thrust her hand downwards. When did you learn this? Hana smiled, "My secret."

Wood appeared from the seabed and wrapped around the creature, sealing it in place. "It won't be able to leave anytime soon. I hope no one finds it again."

Hana just realized she needed air now. Pushing herself up, she spluttered as she tried not to lose her last bit of air. As she surfaced, she gasped for air and coughed up water.

Her strength was leaving her, she was exhausted. You overdid it. Of course she was getting scolded by the giant fox demon. "It was worth it."

Someone grabbed her and started swimming with her. Ah, she lost too much chakra. Just how much did she use for the giant rasenshuriken? How did Naruto do it?
