The most painful days and sorrowful nights

17. The unforsaken wind

After one climb to another,Uzume felt her body shaking in anger. Her hands forcing her to climb up the rocks and fight her father. She needed this, more than she needed anything in the world. She had to prove to her father that she wasn't extremely weak.

"Uzume! " She looked down at Sasuke. How long was he standing there?  Did he watch her kill Koi? Then his eyes turned and he had seen Obito charging for her, his staff in hand and pointed at Uzume.  He caught her in mid air and looked over his shoulder at Madara, who simply just watched. Omi screamed out and activated her Mangekyo Sharingan, but Madara stopped her.

"Stay where you are, Omichi. " He said,Omi shook her head and used her chakra arrows to shoot at Obito. The arrow struck his shoulder, and down came Uzume.  The fall felt slower than ever. Forever.  Was death truly a long pathway? She pulled her hair back and there he was, watching her.

He was like a dream.  A fantasy.  He was in his black Akatsuki robe,and his eyes were still the same red. He was falling with her, holding onto her. 
I...I want to fall with you. I want to be with you so bad.

She thinks to herself,but he shakes his head at her. His eyes looking at the field before them.  At Sasuke.  Then he kissed her lips, the taste was of tea and love.  His hands molding over her.
Even when you saw my flaws and suffered from my mistake. you still loved me as a perfect being, and I Thank you for that, Uzume. 

She cried out as she reached her hand out . Reaching for the fading vision of Itachi. 
I love you..

She felt something holding her. Around her waist and under her legs, like a princess.  She was still floating,but not at an reverse angle. She was upright. Making her way to the ground.  When she looked at the man who carried her, it was Naruto. Holding her. 

"You were great when you fought him before,but now.. " She met his eyes. Those ocean blue eyes that was marked with determination.

"I know..." She whispered. She looked over at the many people before them, and then she saw the dead body laying next to Hinata. She had assumed it was a relative, or something. The way she held his hand.  The moment Uzume's feet hit the ground, she slowly made her way to Hinata.  She was a beautiful girl, with her long hair and pale eyes. Uzume would rather have the Byakugan rather than the Sharingan;  but that wasn't possible. Her eyes were locked on the man, she reached out to touch the wound on his chest. Her memory went back to her mother teacher her a forbidden jutsu,  one that was special to the Uchiha . It was a medical jutsu, one much stronger than the Senju and their medical ninjutsu. This was something Madara, himself, didn't know about.  As he went onto the path of destruction, he never thought to seek Omi out for this jutsu. Uzume fell to her knees and took a small dab of blood from Neiji's body. Just enough to right his name on the ground before him.
Had I know of this Jutsu,  you would be here with me. Her mind went back to Itachi. She took out her Kunai and cut her finger. Drawing a circle in blood as well as symbols. She then stabbed the kunai to the west,as well as taking another kunai ,painting it with his blood and stabbing it to the east. Now she closed her eyes and her hands were making seals.
Rat, horse,boar, tatsu..

Soul resurgence.

Omi and Madara watched Uzume on the field. Her hands were shaking.  She knew this jutsu so well, that she used it on Mikoto's pet cat so Sasuke wouldn't get upset. This was the first time Uzume had ever used this Jutsu, and yet she was using like she's been doing it for years.

"What is she doing? " Madara asks, Omi didn't speak.  She just watched as the crowd were amazed. Before she could do the Soul resurgence,  she had to go into a genjutsu.  When Omi had her spare eyes from her brother,she gained access to one of the most powerful gentjutsu's known. The Tsukuyomi.
