The Lotus and The Deer (Shikamaru x OC)

Chapter 39 - Sensei

Hasu POV

Gaara's sister directs us to her brother; rushing over, we see an explosion making us go faster than before. Finally making it there, Naru-chan checks on him while I look up at the enemy. Glaring up at him, the sand confines him in a pyramid before sealing him for good.

With the last enemy down, the small Hokage groans at the pain from his lower back. Glaring at Temari for calling him old. Walking over to him hover my hand over his lower back, using some of my sage chakras to heal and help his aching.

"There, that should help with the pain for a while."

He looks up at me before moving around, "What did you do to me? I feel 10 years younger."

I snicker, "Just fixed your bones for the fight, old man."

He glares at me, "Don't call me old; I can still take you on!"

I laugh, "I don't doubt you for a second."

Looking off to the distance, my original form runs beside Naru-chan towards the heart of the war. Activating my sage mode, I focus on the chakra around me. Feeling Shika's, I smile, only for it to disappear with a few others around him. I gasp; Naru-chan speaks up, "I sense it too; we need to talk to HQ to figure out the situation."

I nod, feeling his gaze on me he speaks up, "Don't worry, he's going to be fine."

Seeing some shinobi up ahead, Naru-chan and I take down a couple of imposters along the way. Heading to the southern camp to communicate to HQ, we rush southward.

Communicating with HQ after feeling Shika and the others Chakra vanish Shikaku explains the situation. With the current mission being based on defusing the lack of trust between the allied forces, Naru-chan and I head to Shika's front first to deal with it.

Making it there just in time, Naru-chan breaks through the eye dome while I extent my sage chakra, allowing it to detect the enemies near. Taking the enemies out with ease, they all fall to the ground dead.

Rushing to Shika, I pull him into a warm hug; not wanting to let go, I hold back the tears in my eyes. Placing my head on his, I smile before disappearing; I continue forward with Naru-chan. Using my sage mode on my other clones, they help assist with finding the imposters alongside my favorite blond.

Heading over to the sand with Killer B and Naru-chan, I monitor our clones, being able to feel them across the lands.

My clone in the sand looks up to see the 2nd Sunagakure; feeling the massive chakra, I look up to see Madera Uchiha. Standing still, Madera runs to us; the other shinobi runs to him at full speed but are no match for the ancient shinobi. Watching him face the other shinobi completely outnumbered, I frown; the only way I can use any major Justus is by dispersing my other clones. We try to fight him only to be rendered useless, collecting all my clones, leaving me as the only one I activate more than half of my sage chakra.

Naru-chan in sage attacks him with me. I stare wide-eyed at not only his beaming red eyes but at the fact that he absorbed Naru-chan's Jutsu. Watching him jump up, it grows dark, seeing a giant rock on top of us I gasp.

I stand frozen at the sight; the two Kages try to deal with it as the others begin to run. I Naru-chan's clone runs away while I run towards the large rock as the Kages' successfully stop the first one.

"Fox Sage Mode! Raikou: Lighting God!"

Feeling the surge of electricity run through my blue and red chakra, I stand beneath the sand as the second mediator is revealed.

I scream in pain, trying to keep together my clone form, sucking more charka out from my original. I hold up my hand, "Strike!"

A giant surge of lightning breaks through the boulder, destroying as much of it as it can. I look to the others, "RUN!"

Going past the limits of my clone form, I feel myself slipping as the first boulder breaks into pieces and the second breaks into large boulder. I poof, allowing the memories flood through my real body. Gasping, I try to collect myself, only to smile, feeling the Kage's chakra up ahead.

Telling Naru-chan of what had happened, his chakra increase, "We'll win for sure."

Seeing the Fake Madera, Tobi, and the previous jinchuriki up ahead, Naruto makes the first move. To say it pains me to see them like this is an understatement, but I will free them from his grasp. Stopping behind him with Killer B, we move forward, attacking the others. "You were supposed to be free from your burdens, and now you're still a prisoner."

With Killer B letting Oji-san take over, we face Tobi and the others together. Naru-chan allows himself to get hit, creating an opening to attack them. Failing, Oji-san takes the lead, taking them down. Destroying the forest, we see the 7 knocked out, Killer B seals them with his ink only for it to fail due to them transforming into beast mode.

The tailed beast pushes Naru-chan down, but I catch him just in time. Needing to retreat, they don't allow it, as they push Oji-san down. Standing in front of Naru-chan, Tobi comes near. I glare at him, "I won't let you touch them!"

Attacking him, Guy does the same as Kakashi comes in and takes Naru-chan out. Keeping Naru-chan close, the two sensei's stand in front of us, ready to take him on.
