The Lotus and The Deer (Shikamaru x OC)

Chapter 46 - Hurt Them

No POV

Hasu's world grows dark, her heart beats wildly, her chakra flow expands, and her body adjusts to the new changes in her body. Flowing through her cells are the chakra and energy of the other tailed beast that was left in the 10-tails.

Feeling their energy, emotions, and chakra collide with her own she feels stronger than ever before. Opening her eyes she finds herself standing in the darkness, with her tailed aunts and uncles surrounding her.

Calling out her name gently, they slowly fade until Kurama is the only one left. Smiling down at her he calls out for her, "My little lotus."

The water becomes deep as she falls into it, allowing the warmth to spread through her body; she looks ahead to see Kichijoji smiling at her. Holding out her hand for Hasu she gladly takes it pulling her close.

"Thank you."

Feeling her joy, seeing her memories, Hasu return's her warmth. With that, the dark world around her turns into an everlasting night sky; the stars shined as the water beneath her carried thousands of lotus's spread across the vast horizon.

She feels so safe, so warm; she could stay here forever just letting time pass. She could feel her power coursing through her veins. The mark on her forehead connecting her and previous lives.

Her mind wanders to her family, her friends, Naruto, and finally, Shikamaru. Then to the war, the bloodshed and Madera expanding before her world went dark. Clinching her fist, she smiles at the burning stars as it fades and becomes a cloudy day. The same days that she laid with Shikamaru, the same day they share their feelings for one another.

"I'm coming."

Back in the real world, Kaguya holds onto Naruto and Sasuke tightly. Looking at the world around her, she notices a glowing light before her. Seeing a girl standing over Hasu's body she speaks softly. "Granddaughter?"

Hasu's body she begins to rise from the ground. Hasu wraps her arms around her legs as her muscles tighten, her skin shines under the red moon, and her hair grows longer. Her teeth form sharp fangs and her nails into claws. Her chakra cloak turns into a white kimono with light lotus designs, edged in red, gold, and a dark purple. The kimono hugs her curves, providing comfort as she spreads out. Two fox ears pop out of her head, both dark red with black tips, followed by 9 foxtails to match.

Spreading out her arms, her purple eyes open as she gives a cold stare to Kaguya. Holding out her hand, her sword follows as she rushes over and cuts Naruto and Sasuke free, bring them back to Sakura and Kakashi.

"Kaguya."

Noticing my mark and sensing the boys she tries to attack but Hasu is too fast. Protecting them, she gets hit as she falls back along with them. Landing on a rock in between them, she activates her eyes, she sees the chakra from what her son shared.

Standing tall in front of the two boys, they remain still. Kakashi speaks up, "What are your intentions."

She answers, "Ninju, no, you said Shinobi, it's futile to speak to you about that when all you do is tamper with chakra without knowing it's the true meaning. This place, this land, is my precious nursery. And that means I can't let it be damaged any further. So let us put an end to all this fighting. Here that is."

Teleporting them to a cave full of lava, she says, "I shall send you here instead."

Hasu doesn't hesitate as she releases her chakra chains, catching the rest while hanging on to the top of the spiky cave. Using a summoning, Sasuke flys Naruto towards Kaguya.

Breaking a piece of her sword, she creates a platform for Sakura, Kakashi, and Obito to stand on while she allows her chains to keep her afloat. Understanding how important this situation is, Kaguya attacks them, making them fall; Hasu holds them firmly with their chains. Too far from the ceiling her mark shines a bit allowing her to float. Naruto does the same making her release him, holding on tightly to Sasuke while Naruto's clone holds on to the others.

Rushing to the three she launches her first close-range attack. Naruto meets them all, overpowering him; Sasuke tosses an arrow at her holding her swords up above. She melts it causes an explosion, making Hasu rush in with her own attacks. Matching her speed, she gets pushed back. As the smoke clears, we wait for her to appear; sensing her, I draw my sword, slicing her hand. Pushing the boys back, she cries in vain, looking at the two. Seeing the black goo known as black Zetsu touch her skin, she freezes. It spreads to Naruto and Sasuke, telling the tale, of her story, of the beginning.

As soon as the story comes to an end, Naruto breaks the two free. Needing to seal her, we know exactly the Jutsu to use. Giving us the plan, Hasu smiles a bit, agreeing while Sasuke sweats. She has done this jutsu before, Naruto asked for her to help improve it in secret.

Sasuke sends out a wave of black flames, absorbing them Hasu and Naruto step forward. Surrounding Kaguya with shadow clones, they poof, turning into sexy nude men.

"Sexy Jutsu! Reverse Haram Jutsu~"

She freezes, completely distracted as Naruto and Hasu throw a punch. Falling back, the three get ready to attack Kaguya. Only for them to be stuck in ice, she moves across dimensions, which only pisses Hasu off. Feeling her power flare-up, her tails burst into flames along with Sasuke's as they break free.

Doing it Sasuke's way, she reaches out her hand, grabbing Sasuke and taking him elsewhere. She does the same to Hasu, taking her to a tall mountain. Frowning Hasu tries to sense any chakra near but feels nothing at all.

Seeing nothing but snowy mountains, she holds her black sword tightly. Look down; she wishes she had the eyes to move through dimensions to get back. Her sword begins to flatten, and her mark begins to glow.

Obito glares at the ground as Sakura curses under her breath. Not having enough chakra to open more random portals they worry for Hasu's safety.

Seeing a black square from behind Kaguya, they stare wide-eyed as the goddess gets kicked and locked to the ground. Making her appearance Hasu looks down at the boys giving them a foxy smirk.

Jumping down they find themselves in a different dimension, weighted down by the heavy gravity. With everyone affected, including Kaguya, she tries to shoot them, but they move away just in time. Trying again, Kakashi and Obito rush in to take the hit while Hasu holds up her sword. "No!"

Hitting the rodes just in time both remain alive as the gravity pressure lifts up. Standing in front of them, she grips her sword tightly. "I won't let you hurt them!"
