Saruto | The Celestial War (Part 2)

Chapter 15: The Dark Angel Of The Shinobi Alliance

Looking at Kaushiki and his four generals with a cold grimace, he returned my gaze with a smug grin.

Suddenly, the four generals began to weave signs that were unknown to me. With myself suspended in the eye, I observed as they imbued an enormous amount of chakra in Kaushiki. As his blue rinne-sharingan began to glow in an enormous luminescent light, I glanced down to Shikadai and Temari below. Giving them a solemn look, they understood.

"Run!" Shikadai ordered.

I watched as he and aunt coordinated the remainder of my troops to run as far away as they could. I saw Choban give me a look of sadness before turning away to help some of the wounded escape. Pulling the remaining iron sand from the surface of the ground, I attempted to create a wall between us. Would it be able to withstand this immense attack?

As the glowing light grew in size, a sphere of energy formed within his hands as he aimed the large mass at me.

My hands began to shake as I put all my strength into the iron sand wall. Locking eyes with Kaushiki once more, I understood my fate. I knew what I had to do to allow my troops to escape.

"Father," I whispered under my breath, "Forgive me."

In an instant he shot the white chakra controlled by his blue rinne-sharingan. As it enveloped my vision, I closed my eyes. In a large ear-splitting wail I heard it collided with my iron sand, instantly breaking the barrier. As white chakra poison iron sand particles came at me in projectiles, I winced at cutting up my body and grazing my skin. Pulling my hands to shield my face, it suddenly went silent. Was this the after life? Was this-

Opening my eyes, I saw a man in front of me. His hair as dark as knight and fair-skin glossed in the rays of sun that peered through the dark clouds above. He was like an angel.

With his fingerless gloved hand pointed out towards the origin of the chakra bomb, I realized.

Saruto.

Seeing his body glow in a white haze and then convert into a starry purple-black haze. It pulsed in his body before disappearing. As his trench coat waved behind him, the wind of the air filled his hair.

He then turned to look over his shoulder and my eyes widened to the sight. His eyes were like a thousand universes. It sparkled as the power manifested in him. Saruto then gave me a soft smile before turning back to Kaushiki. He then moved his hands around each other in a graceful manner. From each pore in his body. Suddenly, I felt a wave of heavenly power course through me as the white chakra that had struck my body began to be pulled from my body and into his. Looking at my once poisoned hands and arms, I saw the poison veins of white chakra began to disappear. He was converting the corrupted chakra into his own chakra.

Looking down to the ground, I saw all the infected shinobi being cured from the white chakra poison as white chakra dust escaped their body and flew up in the air in Saruto's. This jutsu was like a black hole of stars. It twinkled in blinding light.

My eyes then traveled to Kaushiki whose smug grin was no more. His generals began to fall back as Kaushiki faced off with him. He sinisterly frowned as he looked onto Saruto with almost a great sense of fear. He was scared.

Suddenly Saruto pulled the collected energy close to his heart and held his head low. Then suddenly his head shot up as he looked at Kaushiki.

"Cosmic Rush," Saruto whispered, echoing through the air.

As his words passed through me, I felt a great sense of fear. This power was like nothing I had ever witnessed before.

In an instant, he shot the energy back at Kaushiki.

Seeing the reflection of the dark colored jutsu in his eyes, Kaushiki disappeared through a portal. Running away, like a coward.

As the energy flew through the air, I watched as it flew into the sky and then exploded in a giant ball of light. It parted the cloud and relayed a sonic boom that cleared the sky. It was day time but it looked as though I was watching the stars. Each flicker of his chakra sprinkling the night sky. As the debris fell softly the ground, grass and vegetation grew in its place. It was a malevolent yet kind technique.

Suddenly, Saruto began levitating to the ground and I followed him with my Iron Wings. Touching the ground gracefully, Saruto turned to meet me.

From the pedestal that we stood on, Shikadai, Choban, ChoCho, and Temari, ran to meet us.

"What was-" I spoke before hearing cheers echo the crater that we stood in.

Turning around, we all saw shinobi lined the walls of the crater. They came. The First, Second, and Fifth Divisions of the Shinobi Alliance led by their Commanders. Saruto smiled as he looked at him. The shinobi alliance was here. All of them. Seeing Supreme Leader Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, I knew we were saved.

Looking back to Saruto, I couldn't help but feel like I was looking at a heavenly figure. An angel. The Dark Angel of the Shinobi Alliance.
