The Story of Hagami III [Naruto Fanfic | Uchiha] [Completed]

37 | Uchiha

Part I

"It took you an awful long time to get here." Hagami chided them first, her eyes narrowing toward Obito. He too glared at her, knowing that he had several chances to kill her but refused to.

"Well, you know, we got a little held up, here and there." Shisui excused himself from beside Hagami. "Are you going to be alright?" He whispered into her ear.

"...I'll...I'll be fine, for now. I'm a trained shinobi, I know how to control my emotions." Hagami responded quietly. "But now we need to focus on the task at hand."

"To give you a rundown, we can't hit him with ordinary jutsu. Creating an opening and hitting him with any of our strongest attacks as a combo is our only shot." Minato began explaining and he stepped forward. "I'll use Rasen Senkō Chō Rinbukō Sanshiki (Rasen-Flash Super-Circle Dance Howl Stage Three) to create that, and then we'll strike with our strongest combination."

"You're a bit of a comedian, aren't you?" Tobirama murmured with an increasing scowl on his face. "I'd normally make fun of your jutsu names... Except this guy we're facing is most definitely no joke."

Naruto and Sasuke made a move to run forward, to try to take Obito on themselves at the moment. However, before they're able to get too far, Hagami had stepped in front of the two of them, holding her arms out to the sides so neither of them could pass.

"Contrary to what your thinking Sasuke, it won't work. Even I don't have to have the amount of prowess as Obito has in order to sense you're building up chakra to use the Amaterasu." Hagami glanced over her shoulder to look Sasuke in the eye. "Ninjutsu and Genjutsu are dangerous in this situation. Is anyone against a momentary 'spar' so we can gauge this?"

"What? That's too risky. Let me create an opening. It won't work this way." Minato spoke up, stepping forward.

"All I need is direct contact with his body and I'll give you a brief opening." Hagami responded confidently. Her eyes cautiously gazed back at Obito though he was waiting patiently for the moment.

"Of course, your ability that you're Mangekyō Sharingan used to give you. But how do you plan on getting that close?" Sasuke asked as Itachi and Shisui drew in sharp breaths.

"Like I said, Taijutsu is our best bet." Hagami responded. "Will you allow me?" She asked knowing now that there was a chance she'd die in this technique. Her eyes flickered anxiously from Minato to Hiruzen to Tobirama.

"Don't be reckless. We may need you." Tobirama ordered her. Hagami could tell he begrudging admitted to needing her help in the future. "I have the power to draw you out too, so just know that I will jump in if needed."

"You won't need to." Hagami assured him as she refocused. Her eyes locked onto the staff in Obito's right hand and then the balls floating slightly behind him. As far as she knew, there wasn't anything good that could come from them; and there was a good chance that they're similar to Pein's. If that was the case, Hagami couldn't let herself be impaled by one, not to mention touched for an extended period of time.

Hagami darted forward, bypassing Obito's first line of defense of the staff. She vanished before Obito could strike at her with one of the Truth-Seeking balls too, and appeared behind him next. She didn't hesitate as she placed her hand on his back, funneling a larger amount of chakra into him than she originally did to Madara.

"You should've killed me when you had the chance." Hagami murmured quietly in his ear before she leapt back. Despite having no bodily control, his chakra was still in effect at the time and his control of the Truth-Seeking balls was still sharp as the ten orbs shot off with needle-like precision.
