Wish Upon the Night Sky (Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 62

Usagi 62

>>>>CHAPTER 62<<<<

>>>>Another Side of the Same Story<<<<

From the corner of her eye, Usagi saw a large explosion detonate in the forest behind her.

That spot the blast had come from... that was where she had spoken with Sasuke...

She knew the Akatsuki member he would be fighting was Deidara, she had recognized his chakra from the one time she had fought him in the Sand Village.

Judging from the size of the explosion, Deidara would have died in the blast. Suicide in an attempt to kill Sasuke, perhaps? No, he wouldn't have called it suicide, he would have called it art. Usagi doubted Sasuke was dead even though what was most likely Deidara's last attack had such great and almost unbeatable power. Sasuke wouldn't let himself die while he still hadn't found his brother after all.

After stopping to view the large and almost mesmerizing explosion, Usagi kept moving. She had somewhere to be. She couldn't waste any more time.

But despite thinking this, Usagi did not go where she had planned on going.

Instead of making her way to Ame like she had planned, something unplanned had stopped her from doing so.

With a large frown on her face, she faced her distraction. She needed to speak to Nagato... she didn't time have for Danzo and his ANBU.

But you see, when it's 30 to 1, it can be a little difficult.

While Usagi had been jumping from tree to tree, she had been in too much of a rush to even check if she could sense any chakra nearby. Because of this, she hadn't even realized ninja were closing in on her, surrounding her from all directions.

She hadn't noticed until it was too late.

A ninja grabbed her, Usagi's eyes growing wide as her body was violently tugged backwards.

A small gasp escaped her lips in the moment of panic, but she calmed herself within a second. This was what she had trained for.

Activating her rinnegans Human path, she twisted her arm so she could reach the ninja who had grabbed her.

The Human path... It was one she hadn't ever had to use before.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Usagi's hand crashed into the ANBU's chest.

Before any of the surrounding ninja knew what had happened, the body of their comrade fell to the ground, cold and lifeless as he plummeted through the trees and landed on the dirt below with a thud.

The look in Usagi's eyes matched that of a manic, her eyes scarily wide as she came to terms with the new jutsu she had just trialled for the first time. Her lip twitched up into a crooked smile as she turned around, looking at the ANBU who now surrounded her.

Usagi had just pulled that man's soul from his body, ending his life in a matter of seconds and gaining all knowledge he had ever known.

That's how she knew exactly why those ninja were surrounding her.

And that's why she didn't feel a single qualm for what she was about to do.

This kind of power... It was too much for her. 

This kind of behaviour, it wasn't like her... she couldn't do this...

But she had to.

And so in order to be able to do what she did next... she snapped.
