Chapter 244 - Cap 228: Oh man, you said something you shouldn't

"Very good... I think we've informed our little guest too much" - said Kushina as she looked coldly at her prisoner - "Who and what are you?"

Kushina had sent Sakura to take care of the children again because she knew that things would not be nice from now on.

White Zetsu only responded with silence for the annoyance of the redhead.

"Believe me that I have discovered some small details of whatever you are" - said Kushina with coldness - "I can feel how your chakra seems to be pulsating and producing in the process a kind of language that is received by another entity... one could say that your only presence is like my seals of communication..."

". . ." - Zetsu opened his eyes when he heard this because he felt a bad feeling.

"I could even say that everything you hear and feel is transmitted directly... that means one thing..." - said Kushina as a chain went through the body of the white entity.

"ARGH!" - the white Zetsu chakra quickly began to become erratic as Kushina's chains began to damage his body.

"Interesting... you are a plant in human form... that relieves me a little" - said Kushina - "Let's just say that after being a mother I'm not very comfortable with ending someone else's life..."

"I think you should leave the job to me, Kushina-san" - said Anko while l.i.c.k.i.n.g her lips - "Remember that for me there is nothing more fun than tearing bastards apart and making them sing like canaries"

"I don't think this one will work, Anko-chan" - said Mikoto while looking at their prisoner - "Let's just say this thing is immune to pain like the zombies in Edo Tensei"

". . ." - White Zetsu clenched his teeth as he coolly looked at the women with his green, pupilless eyes - "Have fun while you can because the end is near..."

"Hmm... I think I'll play with him a little..." - said Mikoto as she looked at the white entity with her Mangekyo Sharingan activated - "Kurama-kun gave me some disturbing ideas to put into practice... let's see if you can handle this illusion..."

Kurama had given him the idea of creating an illusion where both Gai and Rock Lee, would dance in the style of Ricardo Milos (according to what Kurama himself said after using the Henge to transform himself into the mentioned one) to cause fourfold damage with his [Flames of Youth].

"Oh God, no!" - roared the white Zetsu in terror as he understood the terror that was to come.

"Thank goodness I put a seal of silence or the children would have been frightened," said Kushina as she shook her head.

"How long do you think the poor wretch will last?" - asked Anko as she returned from getting popcorn to enjoy the screams of white Zetsu.

"I'd say about 30 minutes at the most..." - replied Tayuya as she took out some popcorn, and indeed it was 30 minutes.

"I'll talk! Please make it stop!" - shouted White Zetsu. He never thought his punishment would be so catastrophic - "We had planned to capture Kushina Uzumaki to use her like a leash for the Kyubi so that we could complete the third phase of the plan, and if I couldn't capture Kushina Uzumaki, then I would have to take the cubs"

"Oh, my friend... you said something you shouldn't have" - said Anko while spouting a dark laugh, more so when she saw how the others approached the white entity with clear bad intentions.

* * * * *

"I don't know who is responsible but I would kiss his feet if I found out who he is after the help he has given us" - said A as he felt the pressure of the battle lessen as the White Zetsu seemed to be in complete chaos.

"Although that doesn't change the fact that random attacks continue to hit our forces," sighed Shikaku as he shook his head.

"The best option would be to leave the most unfortunate of us in front and wait for them to throw everything at them" - murmured Inoichi as he felt a group of glances digging into him - "Is something wrong?"

"If we talk about unfortunate... we have three candidates" - said Shikaku while his eyes were shining - "First Inoichi, second Jiraiya-sama and third..."

". . ." - the others looked unconsciously at a young Inuzuka who had 'miraculously' received 20 bizarre attacks in less than 5 minutes.

"Huh?" - Kiba could only step back when he saw how everyone was looking at them - "No, don't even think about it..."

"I guess we'll have to use plan B" - said Shikamaru as a small smile appeared on his face - "Call Haku-san"

". . ." - Kiba was silent for a few seconds before he sighed with regret - "Can I ask for medical leave?"

"When the attack is over," said Choji.

Kiba could only sigh with regret as he muttered things about how the world seemed to be doing everything it could to screw him up...

* * * * *

"I think that was more than enough... the guy can barely stay alive..." - Anko said as she clicked her tongue - "Tell me, friend... how do you feel?"

"F.u.c.k you..." - muttered white Zetsu before his head was crushed.

"That's what happens when you mess with an angry mother's children," Kushina snorted with disdain as she made a hand seal and stored her prisoner's body in a seal.

"I think it's time for us to worry about Akatsuki," said Mikoto as she looked around. "After that thing came into the house, it's obvious that we'll be its next targets to get to Kurama-kun"

"I agree... if we are going to be the prey of those sons of bitches, we better give the first attack and break their S-range asses" - said Tayuya with a wild smile on her face.

"It's not the best way to say it but I agree" - Kushina nodded as she looked around - "We will split into two groups, one will stay to protect the children and destroy any assholes who have the bright idea of entering our home, the rest will go as support to Kumo to kick some Akatsuki ass".

"Hai!" - exclaimed the girls.

"The groups will be the following" - said Kushina seriously - "Mikoto-chan, Hikari-chan, Yugito-chan, Kure-chan, The Anko-chan, Kurotsuchi-chan, Temari-chan, and Mei, will stay as a line of defense in Konoha".

"But!" - interrupted Yugito - "I can't stay here!"

"I'm sorry... but this is also a decision of Mabui-san and Samui-san" - answered Kushina firmly while the girl looked at her friends for answers, only to notice how they looked at her seriously.

"Why do I have to stay? - exclaimed Kurotsuchi.

"Because you are an idiot who attacks without thinking" - responded Tayuya with disdain.

"I don't think you have the moral right to say that when you are the same, Tayuya," said Kin as she rolled her eyes at her friend.

"If you've stopped playing, those who are going out must prepare immediately, we're leaving in 10 minutes" - said Kushina as the girls nodded and began their preparations.

10 minutes later, the girls were ready to go out. Naruto, Ryu, Izumi, and Sakura were together with the rest of the girls saying goodbye to the support squad.

"Please... help Sasuke-kun..." - said Sakura with concern.

"Calm Sakura-chan" - Mikoto smiled while she put her hand on the shoulder of her now daughter in everything but blood - "You know very well that Sasuke is not weak"

"I know... but I'm still worried..." - said Sakura while looking at Mikoto - "What if something bad happened? It is even possible that an accident has happened"

"That shows how much you love him, Sakura-chan" - smiled Mikoto as she put her hand on the girl's forehead - "I know it's hard for you when you're pregnant but you have to trust my son, just like I do..."

". . ." - Sakura nodded with weakness - "Ok..."

Kushina smiled when she saw the interaction of the two women before disappearing with her group in a red flash.

"Good luck girls..." - Mikoto murmured as she saw that her clan mates had disappeared.

* * * * *

"Those things are back to normal..." - said Shikaku as he frowned as he watched his friend Inoichi return with difficulty alongside Jiraiya and Kiba - "I see that the plan worked..."

"F.u.c.k you..." - said the three wounded shinobis in pain as they saw the smile of Konoha's strategist.

"I never thought bad luck could be used in this practical way..." - said A as he took a breath before returning to the battlefield to continue supporting his younger brother - "I better get back... I don't think that idiot can resist while fighting that orange-haired monster even though he only has three bodies left..."

"Yes... but one of those remaining bodies is the main one" - answered Shikaku while he frowned - "From what I could deduce, the main body can control the gravity, the other one can absorb our techniques while the last one could be said to be the most terrifying one because it can... take away the souls of those it touches..."

"Things would be much worse if Akatsuki's leader had his other bodies..." - Shikamaru murmured with a scowl as he recalled how one of them could summon huge animals, another could turn his body into a virtual machine, and the last one they destroyed could restore the wounds of the other bodies - "If Akatsuki had all his 'members', then we would be in serious trouble...".
