The Beast Inside (A Naruto Fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Isobu's Rage

Asuma does a set of hand signs as Hidan goes to lick the blood off his blade.

"Burning ash!" Asuma shouts as he blows out smoke which surrounds Hidan. It catches fire and Asuma is burned.

"Hurts doesn't it? Judgement has been passed."

"What the hell's going on!"

"What do you think? It helps understanding others doesn't it?"

"I already cursed you and the ritual shall now begin." His eyes got wild looking with blood lust.

"Well then, let's experience the ultimate pain together shall we!"

"I don't understand, what happened to Captain Asuma? The fire jutsu should have affected the Akatsuki and not him."

"No doubt about it, but somehow it looks like Asuma caught a piece of the jutsu as well." Kotetsu said in thought.

"This one will give us another 35 million." Kakuzu said as Hidan started laughing like a mad man and pulled out a retractable rod.

"All of the preparations have been completed! Now we will share the ultimate pain!" Hidan said and they both took a attack stance.

Suddenly Asuma started sprinting towards Hidan. Hidan took his blade/rod and went to stab himself when my scales blocked the way, only about an inch from his now black skin.

"What the hell is this!" Hidan shouted as I suddenly appeared next to him.

"Asuma stop!" I shouted and he did hesitantly after I quickly wrapped my scales around Hidan.

"What is this about Semasu?" Asuma asked.

"His power is that he can give you any damage inflicted to him. That is why he's burned. Shikamaru! Shadow Possession!" As I shouted it, Shikamaru trapped Hidan in his Shadow Possession.

I ran over to Shikamaru and whispered the plan in his ear.

As I was telling Shikamaru the plan and my theories, Hidan used enough strength to slit his and Asuma's throat.

Blood gushed out of Asuma's wound and down his neck, he fell down on his knee's, clutching his throat.

"Asuma! Don't die on me!" I shout at him.

"It's not like I'm trying to." He manages to say.

Just as he does, Shikamaru tries to make Hidan move from the symbol.

"How did you little brats know!" He shouted as he is almost out of the symbol.

"First you said, "The preparations are now complete." Then you ran to the symbol you drew in blood, lastly. Admit it Hidan, you talk too much." I say as I make a wall of scales and forced him out of his diagram.

Asuma coughed up a mouthful of blood and started choking.

"Asuma!" I shouted as I turned around to see him, loosing my grip on my jutsu, allowing Hidan to get back in his circle and finish off Asuma....

...Hidan, Kakuzu, return back now......

Peins voice sounded off in my head, my eyes widen. Hidan and Kakuzu jumped away, not without Kakuzu complaining that he didn't get Asumas' bounty and taking a suspicious look at me.

We took Asuma and placed him on the roof of the bounty collectors office.

I tried to use my medical skills but Asuma didn't allow me to.

Asuma says his last words to everybody as I stood to the side. Now Ino and Choji have came and got to say goodbye to Asuma.

"Semasu.." I walked over to him and leaned down to hear his last words.
