Chapter 513: 478. Trauma From Past
In a secret underground Akatsuki hideout,
Fwoosh...
A white Zetsu clone pops out of the ground. The clone appears beside Tobi, who is observing the situation on the battlefield with the various sentries the Zetsu army placed on the battlefield.
"Looks like the Eight-tails and Nine-tails have appeared."
"Hmm... so the eight-tails and nine-tails are out from their rathole."
"Should we capture them as quickly as possible? Though Kabuto is also fighting against them both with his Edo Soldiers." Zetsu questions.
"No... first we would secure the substitute just in case something unprecedented happens. The initiation of Project Tsukuyomi is of utmost importance. Once Project Tsukuyomi succeeds, it's all over."
"So, you are about to make your move?"
"It's finally time for me to join the battle." Tobi tightens the gloves on his hand.
"But first, we will steal the substitute."
"Very well! I will relay your message to Black Zetsu. He is currently busy searching for the whereabouts of the Feudal Lords."
Back at the coastal battlefield,
After sealing the gold and the silver brothers, Izumi hands over the Treasured tools of the Sage of Six Paths to another captain of the Kumogakure.
However, before the group could celebrate their victory, there are attacked by another wave of the Zetsu army.
"ENEMY ATTACKK!!"
The sensors receive a message from the headquarters. They quickly warn the rest of the army.
Soon, another round of heated battle starts against the Zetsu army.
Whoosh... whoosh...
Dina and Kisame, the former members of Akatsuki, appear on a small hill and stare at the group of shinobis from various nations.
"Another war, huh?" Dina licks his lips.
"So much blood to shed and so much carbon to absorb."
"So Tobi finally made his move." Kisame stares at the numerous Zetsu on the battlefield.
"I didn't expect Zetsu to possess a cloning ability. Looks like I underestimated him." Kisame shakes his head.
"Huh, you are also dead!" Dina stares at Kisame in surprise.
"Kuku... it doesn't matter. Even though I am not happy to revive like this, I will still enjoy dissecting these blood bags into pieces and absorbing the carbon from their body." Dina stares at the shinobi of the allied shinobi force like a hungry wolf.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
Both of them flicker amongst the allied shinobi force.
Bang...
Dina morphs his hand into a giant carbon blade.
Slash... slash...
He slashes the giant blade around and split multiple shinobis into half.
Splurt...
The blood and innards of the dead shinobis splatter on the battlefield.
AAHHH...
The surrounding shinobis yell in terror and heedlessly dash around.
Slick...
Dina licks the blood on his carbon blade and slowly walks towards the allied shinobi force.
A black gooey substance flows out of the dead bodies of the shinobis and enters Dina's body.
"Aaah... this sensation. It's been a while since I felt like this." Dina relishes the feeling of absorbing carbon from his enemies.
Kisame ignores him and chooses another direction.
He grabs the neck of a Kumo shinobi charging towards him with a giant blade.
Snap...
He snaps the shinobis' neck in half and grabs his giant blade.
"Hmm... not up to my liking. But this will do it for now." He flips the blade in his hand and stares at the rest of the shinobis.
"Attack!"
The captain of the squad signals his subordinates to attack in a formation.
Swish... swish...
The shinobi launches several kunais with explosive tags toward him and makes a series of hand signs.
"Fire Release: Explosive Flame Formation,"
BOOM...
A giant pillar of flame engulfs Kisame and scorches the nearby ground. The combined might of the group's jutsu is comparable to an A-Rank jutsu.
Burble... Burble...
Kisame slowly walks out of the fire pulse with an armor of water around his body.
Splash...
The water splashes on the ground and Kisame is unscathed by the previous attack.
"Looks like your superiors didn't tell you anything about me."
Kisame smiles to reveal his shark-like teeth.
Clap...
He makes a series of hand signs and claps his hands.
"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave,"
Kisame spews out a giant amount of water from his mouth. The water from his jutsu combines with the water of the ocean and turns into a gigantic Tsunami that engulfs the entire area in front of him.
The giant wave of the Tsunami drowns several shinobis and continues to travel forward.
Whoosh...
Haku jumps in front of the giant water wave and makes a series of hand signs.
"Ice Release: Domain of Absolute Zero,"
Haku slams his hand on the surface of the water and freezes the entire wave of water traveling toward him.
Whoosh...
Zabuza also flickers beside him and stares at Kisame.
"Huh... A Yuki clan shinobi! Didn't expect them to still hang around?" Kisame is surprised to see Haku on the battlefield.
Hmm...
He turns towards Zabuza and instantly recognizes the latter.
"Looks like you are still alive and kicking!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect to be the last living member of the Seven Mist Swordsman of my generation." Zabuza warily wields his executioner's blade.
"Not for long! After I deal with you, your blade will be the perfect substitute for my Samehada."
Kisame cracks his neck.
Gulp...
Zabuza gulps his saliva as a bead of sweat trickles down his forehead. He tightly grips the executioner's blade.
'This guy is bad news. He is the absolute strongest of Seven Mist Swordsman among us all.'
"Zabuza!"
Haku pats Zabuza's shoulder.
"You aren't alone. We will fight together!"
"Yes, I am not alone!"
Zabuza's tense nerves relax slightly, and he slung the giant blade on his shoulder.
"I will be the vanguard and you will support me from the back line!"
"Mm... be careful!" Haku nods and claps his hands.
Shiing... shiing... shiing...
Several ice crystals float beside him, ready to be deployed at any moment.
On the other side of the battlefield,
Dina continues to rampage on the battlefield and creates a blood bath. Streams of blood flow around him as a huge pile of disfigured and dismantles corpses lines up beside him.
Slick...
Dina licks his lips and savors the feeling of slaughter and carbon pumping up his adrenaline.
"Mmm... this is the feeling!"
Izumi, who has just exchanged the treasured tools with the Kumo captain, turns her attention toward the army and spots Dina on the battlefield.
"YOUU!!"
An old memory of her childhood surfaces as she recalls the bloody hands of Dina slaughtering her grandmother.
"GRANDMA!"
Izumi cries in agony and her eyes convert to Mangekyo Sharingan. Blood leaks from Izumi's eyes as four pairs of giant arms appear behind her. The arms wield a spear, sword, bow, and shield.
Izumi's figure disappears in a blink as she charges toward Dina in a bloody rage.
The arm with the bow nocks down a chakra arrow. She aims the arrow toward Dina.
BOOM...
The arrow releases a sonic boom and appears beside Dina in an instant.
"Huh!"
Dina senses the threat from the arrow.
"Carbon Control: Black Diamond shield,"
Dina raises his hand and a giant black translucent shield wraps around his body.
BANG...
The arrow slams into the black carbon shield and a pillar of dust rises at the point of impact.
Fwoosh...
A figure is sent flying outside the dust cloud and slams through the ground, creating a small ravine on its way.
Cough... cough...
Dina coughs slightly and slowly stands up.
"Aww... that hurts!"
He stares at the several cracks on his black carbon shield.
"What a strong attack! Even though I absorbed carbon from so many bodies, it still managed to shatter my defenses. Also, this recoil!"
Several ash particles fly around his body and regenerate him to his peak condition.
Hmm...
Dino narrows his eyes and stares at his attacker slowly approaches him.
"Hmm... you are..."
Dino raps his head and attempts to recall Izumi's familiar face. After a few seconds,
"Aaah... I remember now. You are that fragile little doll from back then. I didn't expect you to grow to such a degree. Guess it has been a long while since I died. But to me, it all feels like a moment ago." Dino grits his teeth and his expression distorts in fury.
"That bastard! I still remember the humiliation he made me suffer. I will payback him in full. But before that..."
Dino turns towards Izumi with a malicious gaze.
"I will savor the taste of prey I missed back then."
"You won't get that opportunity!" Izumi's cold voice pierces Dino's ears as she nocks another arrow on her bow.
