Rebirth of Legends

Chapter 20: Let's get Ready to Rumble!

Naruto's teeth sunk into the left arm of the Demon King, while Hinata grabbed him on the shoulders with her talons and attacked his head with her beak. He howled in pain before throwing them both off. Naruto landed on his feet while Hinata took to the air. The Demon King glared at both of them. He let out a howl, which shattered the buildings nearby. Naruto clamped his ears, whimpering in pain. But Hinata came and bowled him over from behind. Naruto stood up and let loose his own howl, which blasted the Demon King like a physical force. Hinata added her own shriek, which ripped into the skin of the Demon King like blades. The wounds, while minimal, were numerous. The Demon King glared at his wounds, then at the circling eagle. His wings began to flap and he suddenly let out a hurricane force wind, which ripped into Hinata. She fell out of the sky and crashed into the ground.

"HINATA!!!!" Naruto yelled as he rushed at the Demon. It swatted him aside with his tail and he crashed near Hinata, who struggling to her feet.

"You okay, Naruto?"

"YEAH. THAT KINDA HURT THOUGH."

"IT WILL SOON HURT WORSE!!" The Demon King roared, then unleashed a huge burst of flame from his mouth. It roared at them and engulfed the place where they stood in flames. The Demon King laughed until the flames disappeared in a blast of wind. Hinata had flapped her wings fast enough to suffocate the fire. As she did that, Naruto opened his mouth and white energy began to grow at his open mouth. He suddenly unleashed the energy into a beam and it blasted the Demon King back a mile. Hinata flapped back into the air as Naruto charged. As he reached the fallen Demon King, a clawed hand grabbed him and threw him away.

The Demon King turned to Naruto and was about to strike him when he was hit from behind by another blast of energy. Hinata hit him with more energy blasts from her mouth. The Demon King shielded himself with his wings before unleashing streams of fire from his claws. Hinata managed to dodge all but one, which singed her tail feathers. Naruto quickly kicked with his hind legs, knocking the Demon to the ground. He jumped and bit at the Demon's throat. As the Demon King threw Naruto off him, Hinata hovered above him.

With a shrill cry, she flapped her wings, unleashing a hurricane of feathers made of light, which fell upon the Demon and pierced through his wings and limbs.

"AHHHHHHHH!!! YOU STINKING WRETCH! I'LL KILL YOU!!!!" He unleashed an inferno of flames and shadows from his mouth, which engulfed Hinata. She fell to the ground, shrieking as the Demon King continued his relentless assault. Suddenly, Naruto threw himself in front of Hinata and the inferno enveloped him. He cried out in pain before spinning around, dispelling the flames and shadows. Hinata struggled to her talons, and the two of them panted. Already, they could feel their chakra levels were low. Any much longer and their powers would began to eat at their souls until it killed them. The Demon King laughed at their state.

"PITIFUL WEAKLINGS! YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD BEAT ME? I TOLD YOU, I AM STRONGER NOW THAN I WAS BEFORE! YOU CANNOT WIN!!"

Nartuo glanced at Hinata. Their eyes met and slowly, they both nodded it understanding. When they had transformed into their final states, they had learned of a techniuq, which would defeat the Demon King, but it would likely kill them both. Now, it seemed they had no choice.

Naruto began to howl out a slow, mournful tune, his tail moving in an intricate design. Hinata lifted up into the air and begun to fly in a pattern. As they did, the dark clouds overhead parted and light shown down upon both of them. The patterns became visible, but unrecognizable to mortals. But the Demon King recognized it in an instant.

"NO! YOU CAN'T USE THAT! IT WILL KILL YOU BOTH!"

"Better the loss of two than the loss of everyone," Hinata said as she continued her flight. Naruto's song suddenly grew as other voices began to sing it too in an ancient and powerful language.
