Rabbit Princess [Gaara] [2]

☾ 18 ☽

While Sakura used her fists and Chiyo used her ten puppets to fight Sasori's attack, Tsukiko waited for about a dozen or so puppets were within her vicinity before activating her Byakugan and getting into the Gentle Fist stance to use the Eight Trigams: Revolving Heaven at them, spinning around rapidly to destroy the puppets rather than simply deflect them.

Once the first wave of attack on her was over, Tsukiko pushed herself forward, pulling out her sword and focusing her Chakra into her feet and horns as she went rushing into the barrage of puppets coming her way. She turned her Byakugan off and threw herself into the fight, using any means to destroy the puppets.

There was one thing that Tsukiko wanted – and that was Sasori's life. She knew that she was going extremely against her own morals but her Nindo was clear – if someone harmed her cherished ones, she will do everything in her will to attack back and avenge them. And these men have targeted her and her friends for years now.

Tsukiko stabbed one of the puppets and kicked it off of her sword, shattering it into splinters of wood before slammed her free hand onto the ground, "Crystal Style: Growing Crystal Thorns!" Crystals sprouted out of the destroyed terrain.

Immediately, Tsukiko forced the crystals to grow rapidly toward the puppets, stabbing through them and tearing them apart before Sasori could pull them away from her. Tsukiko knew she was using too much Chakra but she was sure she will survive to rest a long night once she was done beating this man up.

"Above you, Usahime," Usajii muttered and Tsukiko jerked her head up, stabbing the puppet with her thorns, which were elongated due to the Reibi's Chakra now flowing through her body. "Try to spare some Chakra,"

"I will, thank you," Tsukiko responded as she stopped growing her crystals and back to using her sword to break the puppets coming at her. "I will not bother you for days after this, don't worry, Usajii... I wonder if this is how mother felt,"

Usajii did not reply as he watched Tsukiko push herself more and more in the battle. He didn't want to dabble into her thoughts to see what she was thinking. She wouldn't grow a taste for meaningless battle, would she? It was important for her to remain pure throughout her life – otherwise things would go worse if they got bad in the first place.

"Sakura, watch it!" Tsukiko shouted as she slammed her sword into the puppet that was headed to slash at Sakura. "Each and every weapon is dosed in poison – we cannot even afford to get a single scratch,"

"Yes," Sakura replied and nodded at Tsukiko before moving back to punch and kick at the puppets headed their way. Tsukiko turned around and her eyes widened when she saw one of Sasori's puppets graze Chiyo with its poisoned sword.

"Granny Chiyo!" Tsukiko shouted and threw her sword with all her force at the puppet, running it through the doll's chest and causing it to explode from the force of her Chakra coursing through it. "Are you all right?!"

"You don't have to worry about me, Tsukiko-Hime," Chiyo replied. "Just focus on getting to Sasori, I'll hold back the rest of the puppets with Sakura," Tsukiko turned to look at Sasori.

"Yes!" Tsukiko responded, pulling back her sword with her Chakra Threads and rushing toward the direction of Sasori as quickly as she could, running and attacking the puppets until she was a flash of white among the debris.

"Tsukiko-Hime, take it!" Chiyo shouted as one of her puppets neared Tsukiko. The white-haired girl grabbed a Sealing Jutsu: Lion Closing Roar device from the puppet before dodging the incoming attack.

Tsukiko jumped into the air when several of Sasori's puppets struck out their weapons at her from every direction and let them clash against each other. She landed onto the swords and used it as a trampoline to catapult over them and onto the ground.
