In my Dream
Chapter 16

“Kyuubi”

Kyuubi relaxed and leaned on the gate bar while Hachibi walked from side to side.

Kyuubi was looking down at the floor, and when he looked up, he immediately saw a fist headed his way. When the punch landed, all Hachibi hit was a bar where Kyuubi was leaning.

Seconds after punching the bars on the gate, Hachibi felt a complete blow to his ribs, sending him crashing to the side of the cell. His body dissolved into dark green chakra when he landed on the floor. The chakra swelled around and then gushed up as it reformed into Hachibi.

Once he was complete, Hachibi did a 360-degree turn and completely disappeared. “Shadow Dimension Jutsu,” the area then became utterly black.

“Forty-Five Senses Jutsu.” Kyuubi performed some seals as nine long shadows stretched out of his own, and they stretched as far as they could.

Kyuubi stood there waiting for an attack, and then he felt it: over three thousand clones of Hachibi charging at him. “ATTACK!” they both yelled.

In one instance, every clone was destroyed.

“It didn’t matter that they were hiding in the darkness. You knew where they were with that Jutsu you performed, right?”

“That’s right, there’s no use in hiding,” Said Kyuubi. Knowing where Hachibi was even in the darkness, he unsheathed his katana and quickly attacked Hachibi.

“You're right,” said Hachibi as he unsheathed one of his broadswords and blocked his katana.

While Kyuubi had both hands on his katana, Hachibi unsheathed his second sword and slashed Kyuubi on his stomach.

“I see you still use two swords.”

They exchanged attacks. After a while, Hachibi began using more brute force in his attacks and drove Kyuubi back; Kyuubi kicked Hachibi back and attacked.

“Devils Slash Jutsu.” Red chakra poured out of Kyuubi’s katana, and as he slashed at Hachibi, the red chakra extended out with much force.

As Hachibi slid back, he only had time to block the attack. He brought both swords out front and crossed them, “Hell’s Gate Jutsu.”

Hachibi was able to block the attack but was still pushed back by the force of both Jutsus clashing.

Hachibi stood up and walked towards Kyuubi with a sinister smile; he then began to emit a considerable amount of chakra, trying to intimidate Kyuubi.

A smile appeared on kyuubi’s face, “That’s not going to work.”

Hachibi slightly chuckled, “It never has and never will, will it?”

“No, but you can keep trying.”

Hachibi lowered his chakra as he stopped before Kyuubi, sheathed his swords, and smiled, “That’s the same thing you said decades ago. I was hoping you might have gotten slower and weaker.”

“Not a chance, but that was a good fight; you’re still as playful as ever.”

“Yes . . . . . . And I see you have received the same fate as I. I never thought that you would ever be sealed away.”

“Well, there’s always a first for everything.”

“Yes, perhaps . . . Kyuubi, I think it’s time we regain our freedom. We should get out of here.”

Kyuubi looks at his old friend Hachibi.

“Don’t look at me like that, and you know as well as I that we can get out of here together. Those seals that sealed us away were too strong for us alone, but now that we are together, we can destroy this seal. Remember all those years ago; we were unstoppable and still are.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

“Why not?”

“You know what happens when a jinchuuriki loses his demon . . . . . . He dies”

“Kyuubi, he will still die if we don’t leave here. All this chakra will eat him up, and we’ll die as well.”

“No, I will help him get through this.”

“Why . . . he’s just a vessel, a human.”

“Perhaps, but to me, he’s much more; I don’t know how you and your vessel handled each other, but Naruto is different than any other human I’ve met. For the twenty-one years I’ve known him, he has shown me the true meaning of strength. He has been able to persevere despite weighing the world against him.”

“Kyuubi giving respect to a human, you were right. There’s a first for everything.”

“You said that together we can get out, but I’m not getting in on this, and you alone can’t do it, so there is no use in you trying to get out.”

Hachibi looked at his old friend and sighed.

“How do you plan on helping him?”

“Before you arrived, we were going to make a deal.”

“What type of deal?”

“A deal where he gives me some freedom, but now that he needs to release much more chakra to keep his body stable, I’m sure he will give us both some freedom.”

“Very well . . . let’s go look for him; I want to meet the guy that has earned the demon lord's respect; we’ll see if he is what you say he is. The idiot I was stuck with was nothing but a coward.”

Kyuubi and Hachibi began to expel some chakra that leaked out of the cage and formed clones. The clones then began to walk the dark tunnels in search of Naruto.

The four members of Akatsuki were sitting and waiting for their leader to arrive.

“Where are they?” said a voice. The four turned around and saw Pein.

“There in the cell,” said Kisame.

“Then go get them,” replied Pein.

“There is something you should know,” said Zetsu.

“What?”

“One of the Jinchuuriki arrived here near death, so we transferred the demon to the other Jinchuuriki,” said Zetsu.

“So, one of them has both?” asked Pein.

“Yes” Replied Zetsu.

As soon as Pein heard that, he walked to the cell with everyone else behind him; when they arrived, they saw the gate open and no one inside.

“Where are they?” asked Pein.

Zetsu went up to the cell and saw the burnt seals.

“It looks like they’ve escaped,” said Zetsu.

“How?” asked Pein.

“They destroyed the seals,” said Kisame.

“I made these seals. Only the members of Akatsuki can destroy them,” said Pein as he looked at everyone.

“After we put him back in the cell, no one has come in here,” said Kisame.

“Who put him back in the cell?” asked Pein.

Kisame grabbed his sword, swung it, and pointed it at Itachi.

“You, I knew something was up with you,” said Kisame.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” replied Itachi.

“You were the last one to see them,” said Tobi.

Itachi was about to say something when Pein began to walk towards him; Itachi knew that an attack was coming. When Pein threw a punch at him, Itachi slapped it away and slammed his palms into his stomach, pushing him back.

Before anyone was able to move, Itachi made his move.

“Tsukuyomi” Everyone was caught in his technique and unable to move.

“Itachi, you bastard, let us go,” said Kisame.

‘I better get out of here before he gets out,’ thought Itachi.

Pein slowly moved his body before he broke out of the technique. He quickly appeared in the back of Itachi and punched him. When he did
Itachi only scattered into a flock of crows as he disappeared.

With Itachi gone, the Tsukuyomi on everyone else has been released.

“GET OUT AND FIND THAT JINCHUURIKI!” screamed Pein.

Once that was said, everyone scattered to find Naruto.

Joyce was lying in bed, trying to relax after everything.

‘I should do what Tenten said; just think of something good, think back to something good that will take my mind off this,’ thought Joyce.

Joyce blushed as a memory quickly came to mind.
